Property Description
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

We had a great time. The water was great we fished right off the deck that was attached to house. Our children took the canoe and kayaks out for rides.

It’s away from bigger towns make sure you take what you need
It was clean owner very responsive when in need of something. There was a smell in the laundry room and we did deal with some flies it was cold that day so they made there way in . Remember it is in the country away from stores It was very nice inside .

Ark Encounter Trip
We had the best time staying here during our visit to the Ark Encounter. The house set up was great for our group of teens and being on a farm was perfect cause it gave them room to roam. The pond was beautiful too! I’ll recommend this listing to everyone asking where to stay while visiting the Ark!

Amazing property, great for large families
We stayed here with our 9 children to go to the Ark & it was perfect. We enjoyed the evening/morning here better than the actual Ark. The property is beautiful, my older kids loved kayaking on the pond, wish we would have brought fishing poles, there was a barn full of farm animals my littles enjoyed, my husband watched turkeys in the mornings, and I personally loved the trains right coming/going outside my window. This is perfect for large families or get togethers, perfectly stocked for many people, they even had games and a football, and the drive out was gorgeous. Theres also a trail we didn’t get to enjoy but I bet is great. I couldn’t imagine anyone being disappointed in booking this place, all my kids, ages 6-21, said it was their favorite place we’ve stayed even out of the beach and mountains!

Amazing Stay!
Overall, had a great experience and time. Out of the 7 days in Kentucky our favorite day was the one spent at the house enjoying the property and swimming/fishing in the pond. Owner is extremely responsive. When our grill propane tank was empty a new one was delivered within 20 mins. Highly recommend
