here they can unplug from devices and reconnect with one another to exchange ideas, knowledge, culture, and food. Vision: to build bridges and smash stereotypes in order to create a global community that values diversity in all its forms. Lodging includes everything from primitive campsites to treehouses, yurts, vintage campers, and more! Group camping is a popular option and lodging is included with our Glamping Package for weddings. We have a stage and large, covered pavilion. The farm's bath house is open from April through October and features 4 flush toilets and 2 solar-heated showers. There is also a solar-powered event facility equipped with a telephone and kitchen appliances that are available for guests to use. When available, we stock the fridge with our farm-fresh eggs and produce. The farm has a steep and rugged 1.5 mile hiking trail, but we’re also just 8 miles from the Berea Pinnacles. If you’re interested in paddling Owsley Fork Reservoir, our friends down the road at Get Outside Ky rent canoes and kayaks. We are only 20 minutes from Berea, the Arts & Crafts Capital of Ky., where you can usually find workshops and demonstrations of all kinds. We do not have tv, internet, or cell reception. There are as many stars as there are bugs so come prepared for both, but we ask that you leave your pets at home. To book your stay, please visit us at www.HomeGrownHideAways.org or message us if you'd like to plan an event.

There's potential for another cold-front to push through next week so come out and enjoy the reprieve this weekend!

Now that our driveway isn't a sheet of ice, schedule a visit with Tammy Tanager and see if she's the Retro Rambler of your dreams! We'll even throw in a week of free camping for the lucky buyer. Use it all at once or spread it out over the summer (dates subject to availability).

01/19/2025

We will probably be signing off later this evening so if you need to reach us before next week, you can find contact info on our website.

The off-season is for planning and we're stirring up a veritable feast of potential activities!
We're thinking of plant-based potlucks, silent disco parties, adult summer camp, and maybe a Bilbo Baggins birthday? Who knows?!? But here's what AI thinks my farm looks like.

(We don't always make our bonfires on top of rugs, but when we do, we make sure that we're in the Rockies and that our guests have NO privacy). 😆

01/15/2025

Don't forget! Only 45 days left to get a FREE night when you book 2! Just let us know in the reservation text if you want the night before or the night after your reservation added on.

Our journey into the world of short-term rental was purely accidental. We were simply trying to create a space on our farm where our friends could bring their kids and have somewhere a bit more comfortable to sleep than a tent (although that's still an option!). We barely knew what Airbnb was and had never even stayed in one.

We definitely never anticipated that nearly 10,000 people from all over the world (46 states and 36 countries) would choose to spend time in our backwoods holler without access to modern conveniences like cell service and wifi. As it turns out, that's just what people were craving.

They've traded the barrage of notifications for the chatter of songbirds, tv bingeing for hiking, and traffic jams for making new friends around the campfire.

We know that our set-up is very different than most vacation rentals, but we think that's what makes us unique. We take our role as hosts very seriously and strive to treat our guests just like the friends who inspired this journey nearly a decade ago. We hope you'll come see what makes us different from other short-term rentals and become one of our new friends.

With the possibility of more snow moving, make sure you're stocked up with supplies!

Here are a couple pro-tips to add:
❄️ Swap milk for cream OR replace milk and sugar with a can of sweetened condensed milk.
❄️ Put your bowl outside BEFORE it starts snowing so that you know it's fresh and clean.

Berea is soooooo lucky to have Winterberry Studio adding artful joy to our community! Heather is also responsible for the Berea Story Trail, the bottle cap mural outside Top Drawer Gallery, AND she offers countless free workshops throughout the year, including two winter-themed workshops coming up on the 11th and the 25th. Be sure to follow her pages for THE BEST nature-art inspiration!

Thank you, Heather!!!

I thought Berea could use another hand!

Getting snowed in where you still have heat, water, and ways to cook food even if the power goes out is the best way to be snowed in. We also have lots of books, board games, a sled, and some really fun slopes to pass the time. Wish you were here!

My ankle was feeling a bit better today so even though I still can't climb the mountain, I can at least wander within. Thank goodness for my @lekiusa trekking poles. #Snow #SnowHike #BumAnkle #TrekkingPoles #SnowPups

Abi's Arboreal Abode & Hammock Haven was the first listing we put on Airbnb in 2016. This cozy treehouse-yurt overlooks the creek, can sleep up to 4 guests, has electric, a nearby outhouse, and neighboring campsites for friends. All guests of HomeGrown HideAways have access to our beautiful Community Farmhouse which features a chef-inspired kitchen, library/game room, and coin-op laundry. There is a shared-use bath house with flush toilets and showers in the central camp field, plus a small playground, yard games, and a hundred-acre forest with hiking trails. #Treehouse #Yurt #Camping #Glamping #Nature #Retreat #WritersEscape #Forest #Hiking #Appalachia #BereaKy #VisitBerea

Hurricane Helene took a break long enough for our #wedding party to enjoy a rehearsal dinner and bonfire last night. The ceremony had to get moved from out in the forest to under the Pavilion so we're all set up for today's festivities, rain or shine. Our hearts go out to all those experiencing such devastating loss this weekend. We'll raise an extra toast to everyone's safety and all the work that lies ahead to recover.

Just in case y'all wanted to know how our #loofah are doing this year. 😉

The #dogs love #rides up the #mountain to look for #mushrooms! Also, today (8.8) is the 16th #birthday of HomeGrown HideAways! #DogDaysOfSummer #CominRoundTheMountain #MushroomHunting #SideBySideRide #DogsLife #FarmLife

Despite the drought, the doggos know where the sweet spot in the creek is for cooling off after our morning hike. #MeetMeAtTheCreek #BillyStrings

Butterflies, birds, and flowers in the garden.

We can't promise you'll stay 100% dry if a rainstorm pops up, but the bimini is a pretty great umbrella and we have an enclosure for the back as well.

The creek is refreshingly chilly on a hot day.

Perfect spot to paddle and swim.
