About this house rental
Escape to a unique blend of rustic charm and modern sophistication in our stunning barn loft! Nestled beside a beautiful 1 acre pond, the loft offers an unparalleled retreat with captivating views and a tranquil setting.
Step inside to discover a spacious, open-plan living area featuring exposed beams, sleek concrete floors, and large windows that flood the space with natural light. The interior combines industrial elegance with Spanish-inspired touches.
Just outside you can enjoy your beautiful 1 acre swimming pond or take a hike on our 2.5 mile Catawba Farm loop nature trail where you can explore the farm including another stocked fishing pond, multiple Licking River access points and all the many wildlife and scenic views the farm has to offer. At the Patriot Barn(red, white and blue roof) you can visit Jack our rescue donkey, Big T the bull, The 3 Little Pigs and our two Tennessee Fainting Goats Darryl and Donnie. Jack loves apples and other fruits and vegetables, Big T loves to be fed hay and the pigs...they will eat anything.
Keep in mind this is an operating farm and you may see farmers and workers come and go time to time.
If the river conditions allow for it we offer canoe trips or river raft rides without leaving the valley. Farmer Rob the neighbor who owns Gravett Farms can come pick you up. He will guide you to and help you in at a river access point on his property and your trip will finish up at our Licking River access. Approximately 2.5 mile trip

The Barn Loft was such an awesome place to stay for our trip. First off, we had to make a date change and the host was super accommodating and easy to communicate with. The entire home and farmland was gorgeous. Our kids loved visiting and feeding the farm animals, walking the trails, and fishing/kayaking in the pond. Every part of the loft was clean and as described. We may have to come back to Kentucky and only stay at the house for the whole trip. Can’t say enough awesome things about it. Definitely going back at some point!

Our stay at the loft was great. Our only issue was how far away everything was, shopping, grocery store and places for dinner. Make sure you pack what you need, few extra rolls of toilet paper, paper towels,
Paper plates and so on. It is literally right in the middle of No Where! Was quiet and peaceful and the back deck was really nice. The living room furniture was not real comfortable. But enjoy your stay was beautiful!

The property is amazing, waking up to the beauty of God’s creation in KY and sipping your coffee early on the edge of a pond makes your morning great! The manager was beyond patient with us and he was very easy to get in contact with at all times. Our group had the best time. The kitchen is well equipped and the place is as beautiful as the pictures you see online.

Host Scott was very responsive and answered all my questions. This is a unique place and property, being part of a farm and in a farming community. It rained the whole 5 days we were there, but that didn't keep us from hiking the farm roads and following the train tracks, with umbrellas in hand. The pet farm animals were so much fun to feed veggie treats. Jack the donkey brayed when he saw us coming with his carrots. The bedrooms and bathrooms were well supplied and comfy, the living room just right for us 5 adult siblings. The kitchen was large enough to prepare all our meals there. The kitchen was short on some basic utensils, coffee cups, etc, but that is easily rectified.
