About this property

Forest Cabin at Sinking Creek. A cozy cabin in the National Forest!

  • Escape to the woods! Adults-Only Wilderness Retreat bordering the Daniel Boone National Forest! It's like staying at your own National Park!
    Escape the chaos at our private 358 sq. ft. studio cabin nestled on 23 acres of pristine, rugged Kentucky forest. Perfect for solo travelers or couples seeking true peace and quiet—our property enforces a strict no-kids, no-pets policy to guarantee absolute serenity and uninterrupted wildlife viewing (we sometimes see deer, turkey, and local wildlife right from the porch). Visit dbnf DOT org for more information.
    Highlights:
    • Direct Border Access to the wild & scenic Daniel Boone National Forest.
    • $0 Cleaning Fee — The price you see is the price you pay.
    • Fully equipped kitchen, private fire pit (free firewood included), hammock, and charcoal grill.
    • Located just 10 miles off I-75 (Exit 41), making it the perfect basecamp for hikers exploring Sinking Creek or the Rockcastle River region.

    Our property sits adjacent to the "Thrash Rock" a geological feature of historical interest. Local legend tells us this is where the ancient natives and local townsfolk threshed their grain. The area was settled early 19th century & locals say in late 19th century this area was a busy small village on the road to Sinking Creek and the Rockcastle River. Old home foundations dot the landscape. The cabin sits in the front of our 22 acres adjoining the Daniel Boone National Forest. Completed in 2016, Forest Cabin is now open for guests! Please consider a visit, you will experience nature at its finest!

    Conveniently located 5 miles down White Oak Road in London, Kentucky. Exit 41, 80W. midway between Wood Creek Lake and Laurel River Lake. Maximum 2 guests, this cozy studio cabin is perfect place to escape from it all. Very little traffic noise & nice dark night sky, you won't see another house in your tiny cabin in the woods! We offer many amenities over the local hotel room. "It's less expensive and better than the Hampton Inn," said a guest. This is a great place to get away from it all! At 358 sq. ft. this is "tiny home" living at its best. Relax on the porch rocking chairs, hammock for 1 or 2, grill & chill at the picnic table in the yard or roast marshmallows for S'mores at the firepit in the yard, an initial supply of firewood is provided. It's like camping with all your stuff!

    There's so much to see and do, all within a 4 hour or less driving distance. Located off a winding, twisty road in the heart of the wild and scenic Daniel Boone National Forest in London, Kentucky, this is a great place to watch birds and wildlife and unwind. Walk down White Oak Road or hike thru the rugged DBNF to Sinking Creek or drive along rugged forest roads to many lakes, attractions & State & National Parks: London Dragway, Cane Creek WMA, Wood Creek Lake, Laurel Lake, Rockcastle River, Sheltowee Trace Trail, Levi Jackson SP, beautiful Sinking Valley and Short Creek, Camp Wildcat Civil War Battlefield, Wildcat Adventures Off-Road RV Park, Dogpatch Trading Post, Wildcat Harley Davidson Dealer and Wildcat Flea Market, Flealand, DBNF's Bald Rock & Bee Rock, Great Saltpetre Cave and Preserve, Cumberland Falls SP, Wolf Creek Dam & Fish Hatchery, Lake Cumberland SP, Big South Fork NP & Sterns Scenic Railway, Red River Gorge & Natural Bridge SP, Pine Mountain SP & Cumberland Gap NP. A 20 minute drive to Corbin, KY will take you to Colonel Sanders original KFC restaurant and motel where you will find an interesting museum. Renfro Valley, Kentucky's Country Music Capital & Barn Dance, The Kentucky Artisan Center and the and college town of Berea is about 45 minutes away. Take the Bourbon Tour & visit many distilleries including Buffalo Trace, Maker's Mark, & Wild Turkey. About a 45 min drive to Jellico Tennessee & Hazard & about 1.5 hour drive to Lexington & the beautiful horse farms that go on for miles, a 2 hr drive to Mammoth Cave NP, & 2.5 hrs to Louisville, Florence Outlets Y'all, Cincinnati & Indiana Casinos, about 3 hrs to Ashville, NC & Pisgah NF, Great Smoky Mountain NP or Dollywood, Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, TN. Many more adventures await including canoeing, kayaking, wading or whitewater rafting on the wild and scenic Rockcastle River, many creeks, Laurel or Wood Creek Lakes, horseback riding & fishing. Take a scenic drive on a road less traveled through some of the most beautiful countryside in the United States. You will see and hear many birds and abundant wildlife, plants and trees and we hope that you have an amazing journey in this magical place that is the Daniel Boone National Forest!

This is the coziest little cabin! We had the best getaway here and would absolutely come back. Carey was great with the check-in process. Duke was a sweet visitor and we loved having him! Only hiccup was a power outage after a thunderstorm but we got an entertaining story to tell our family and friends! Carey was in touch really quickly to make sure that we were ok and couldn't have been nicer about the whole thing.

Great cabin for two, clean, and our hosts were great. We used this as a “home base” for hiking in the area. It was pretty centrally located for hiking the Red River Gorge (Northeast) and Cumberland Falls (South) areas. Thank you for a great vacation!

This adorable cabin was the perfect place for our anniversary getaway. We did a lot of hiking so we didn't hang out at the cabin too much, but when we did it had everything we needed! If you are looking for a place, book this cabin! It was perfect and Carey was so nice. Only complaint was we weren't there long enough to get a visit from his doggie!

Cozy Cabin

We were so happy with this little cabin. It was in a nice setting and was exactly as described. We only need one bed, which was so firm and provided a good night's sleep, so the price was right and not having to pay for more than what we require was nice. If we needed anything that wasn't there all we had to do was ask.

Private, comfortable, and clean cabin. Decent internet. Hot shower with good water pressure. I appreciated the details like bug spray and phone chargers for us to use. Privately owned, no property manager, no mile long legal document to sign. No laundry to do or quiet hours. It's just a great place to stay and a thoughtful owner sharing it. It's just what I wanted.
