About this property
Uncle Jim's Country Hide-a-way
2,000 SQUARE FEET!
Well, hey! Y'all, welcome to Uncle Jim's! This land has been in our family since 1912, and we're glad to share it with you! Nestled in the hollers and hay fields of Eastern Kentucky, we're proud to call this place home and raise up the SEVENTH generation to live here.
Rise and shine in the picturesque rolling foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, with our roosters' crows (or draw the shades and black-out curtains and sleep in, the chickens aren't really that loud!). Enjoy provided farm-fresh eggs for breakfast and relax on the oversized covered porch with a cup of complimentary Keurig-style coffee or cocoa. Perhaps a baby lamb or goat kid will join your party? When in season, various garden-fresh produce may be available - taste the difference! Also provided is a dishwasher, washing machine, dryer, refrigerator/freezer, toaster, microwave, stove/oven/range, pots and pans and cooking utensils, and all the necessary plates, silverware and glasses/cups - just as if you were at home.
Only 15 minutes to Manchester, 20 minutes to London, or 30 minutes to Corbin and all the area has to offer - such as Levi Jackson Wilderness Park, the Daniel Boone National Forest, and the Corbin Arena.
Or venture a little further out and explore Cumberland Falls State Resort Park, "The Niagara of the South"! Maybe go fishing and cool off in the waters at Laurel River Lake? Or step back in time at the Hensley Settlement at Cumberland Gap National Historical Park! Is mountain music more your style?
Visit Renfro Valley, which hosts concerts year-round for older and newer ears alike. All four are an easy hour's drive away, or less.
Many nearby events throughout the year are sure to pique your interest, such as The World Chicken Festival, NIBROC, The Redbud Ride, Native American Heritage Festival, Hillbilly Days, and The Colonel Fest (as in Colonel Sanders - did we mention that the first KFC was in Corbin, and you can visit the museum 7 days a week and order your favorite chicken dinner to bring back).
Of course, you're also welcome to just stay in and relax. Draw yourself a bath and read a good book, or binge your favorite show that you haven't had time for. Your vacation is yours to enjoy as our guests.
Note to guests, this is a family-run homestead. You will have the guest house all to yourself. We homeschool, and in addition to our children, have critters running loose most of the day. As such this disclaimer is necessary:
"Warning: Under Kentucky law, there is no liability for an injury to or death of a participant in an agrotourism activity conducted at this agrotourism location if the injury or death results exclusively from the inherent risks of the agrotourism activity and in the absence of negligence (KRS 247.800-247.810)"

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Uncle Jim

We've relocated from city upbringings to get back to our country homesteading roots. We're learning a lot as we go, and want to share it with you! We enjoy meeting new folks and have no problem front porch sittin' and gabbing as the sun goes down over the tree-topped Appalachian foothills. Of course, if you want to be left alone, that's just fine too!
Why they chose this property
We didn't choose this neighborhood, this neighborhood chose us! This land has been passed down generation to generation in my family, and we're now raising the SEVENTH GENERATION here, along with our homestead critters. The peace and quiet of country living, the scenic mornings and evenings, and the freedom to just be yourself is what we want to share with you!
What makes this property unique
This property is the guest house on our homestead. HOUSE - not tiny home or cabin - 2,000 SQUARE FEET to relax in!
On any given day, you can see our horses, cows, chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, guineas, pigs, cat and dogs, sheep, and goats! If they're not perusing the yard, we have them in a pasture nearby that can be accessed - just let us know!
