About the host

Hosted by Tracy Pratt-Savage

Host profile image
I moved to Carlisle from Detroit in 2013. I grew up in a small town like this (Eden, NY) and my brother lives nearby. I joined the Chamber to meet people, became Economic Development Director for the County (for 3 years) and started a (9) county group to promote Economic Development through Adventure Tourism. Licking Valley Adventures is now (12) counties and offers a Website and Facebook page to learn about all the great places to eat, play, shop, stay and explore in our beautiful part of Kentucky. These days I travel a lot to see family and friends and especially grand-babies. Having had a lake house in the past we rented out, it made sense to do the same with the farm - to share it's beauty and tranquility.

Why they chose this property

For years I came to visit my brother who lives nearby, and fell in love with the area. I wanted to "retire" further south than Michigan but still wanted (4) seasons and an occasional snow. Kentucky provided all that. I have easy access to I-75 to head north to visit friends and family there, or south to Explore. One visit and you may also fall in love with Carlisle - The Little Town with a Big Heart. Carlisle 1,972 Population. Nicholas County 7,000.

What makes this property unique

Our 3 building resort is out in the country on a dead-end street. We feature a 4 bedroom farm house that sleeps 16, a 10x16 game room, and Kid Camp out tiny house. We don't have a lot of traffic noise or light pollution. You can see the stars at night, hear the birds and bugs chirp and sing and enjoy "the quiet". The Farmhouse is on a dead-end street great for walks past 2 barns and 3 houses. Great views in every direction. Watch birds including hawks, deer, turkey and an occasional skunk during mating season. We have (2) porches to enjoy sunsets and one for sunrises with a cup of coffee from our Keurig coffee station. Kitchen features dual-oven, Cuisinart pots and pans, griddle, Aroma Pot, Cuisinart food processor, blender, air fryer and more. Lots to do see, and visit within a 45 minute drive.
