Peaceful A-Frame Retreat in Kentucky • Hot Tub, Sauna & Fishing Pond
Welcome to Station Camp Getaway, our A-frame home on a 58-acre farm in an Appalachian valley in Irvine, Kentucky. Spend your mornings watching the animals graze, your afternoons beside the fishing pond, and your evenings relaxing in the hot tub or gathering around a fire.
There is no TV by design. Instead, enjoy vinyl records, board games, books, valley views, and time together.
Guests have the A-frame home to themselves. We live in a separate, adjacent home and care for the farm and animals while respecting your privacy.
MEET THE FARM ANIMALS
Our farm is home to a bonded pair of Suffolk Punch draft horses, a Highland cow and her calf, and two Thoroughbreds.
Animal encounters are arranged with us and supervised by a host. Depending on availability, guests may have an opportunity to help feed or brush the animals and hear their stories. Please coordinate with us before approaching or feeding them. Children must be accompanied by an adult.

Cathedral ceilings, large windows, and a sunroom dining area bring the valley scenery into your stay.

YOUR HOSTS
We are Nurys and Randall, your English- and Spanish-speaking hosts, with roots in Panama and Chile. We love sharing the valley, our animals, and the quieter rhythm of farm life.
Our separate home is next door, so you may see us tending to the animals or maintaining the grounds. We are happy to help with questions and coordinate farm encounters while giving you space to enjoy your stay.
