Three Pines Historic Log Cabin (About 20 Minutes From Ark Encounter)

The cabin at Three Pines Farm is rich in history. The logs that compose it were hewn in the 1790s by Captain Phillip Buckner, a Revolutionary War veteran. Throughout the 1800s it housed Morford's tavern and inn, with many guests arriving by stagecoach.

Despite its long history, the cabin is well-suited to the modern guest. It consists of three floors. Upstairs it boasts the Buckner and Morford Bedrooms, containing a queen and twin bed respectively. A bathroom with a shower/bath adjoins the Morford Room.

The middle/ground floor is where guests enter the cabin. Captain Buckner entertained his guests in this space with lavish feasts. In its modern layout, this floor includes the dining room, kitchen, and living room. There is also a lavatory adjoining the kitchen.

Though the basement was not part of the original cabin, it flows seamlessly into the modern layout. It includes the Pine Bedroom (queen bed), the den (futon convertible to a double bed), and a bathroom containing a shower. It is a walk-out basement, with a patio space behind the cabin.

We like to think that we are carrying on the tradition of Buckner and Morford today as we open the door of this historic cabin to you.

The Best Cabin Experience

Truly amazing workmanship and decor. Every time we walked around we would find something else special about this cabin. The relocation/history binder is a quick and necessary read! It is one of the best Log Cabins we have stayed in so far and I recommend it to anyone looking for a stay in the KY countryside!

Tranquil

Check in was super easy/instructions were great. The drive to/from town is scenic but also requires a little time and care. The notebook with information on the story of the place was excellent. It was quiet and relaxing for 4 adults. There is a little maintenance that should be done. Overall, quite satisfactory and enjoyable.

Excellent Retreat for an Ark Encounter Visit

Three Pines Farm was the perfect place to stay during our four-day visit to the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter. Located between the two attractions, it was a convenient retreat after a day in the museum. The kitchen was well stocked, and the two tables gave us a place to eat and another for games. The living room and downstairs family room were perfect for reading a book or watching a video. The history of the 200-year-old log cabin is well documented and very interesting. We enjoyed walking around the beautiful property or sitting by the pond. We will definitely come back to Three Pines when we return to the area!

Our yearly spring back

Every year over the kids spring break we load up and try a new state we've done the Dakotas, Maryland, Texas, Oklahoma, Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin, California, Arizona and this year was Kentucky. We absolutely loved the 3 pines cabin it was warm and inviting with everything we needed for our stay. We would have loved to stay even longer if we could but this was a last minute booking because we own a large small business and barely could get away this year but tha k God for y'all in this peaceful place it is exactly what we needed to relax and spend family time

Nice Cabin, little bugy

Nice cabin, clean had all the extra ammendities which was nice. Shortly after we got there we saw a bee inside the living room which landed on my Dads leg, then later the next morning was sitting in the dinette area and saw a centipede crawling up the wall, grossed me out. Not sure if they exterminate this cabin or not but I would highly recommend it. Other then that, it was a nice cabin.

Beautiful view

We enjoyed our stay and loved the history of the cabin! My elderly dad traveled with us as a Christmas present to see the Ark. He loves old cabins, which is why we chose this one. We loved the view! We got to see the most beautiful rainbow right over the cabin! It was like looking at a painting with the rainbow set over the gorgeous property. Sweet memories were made and I’ll cherish every one. The only thing I’d suggest is a good deep clean on the upstairs jacuzzi tub. The jet spouts were dirty, and the towels in that bathroom had a mildewed odor. Other than those small issues, we’d plan another stay at this cabin, as well as recommend it to others. Thank you for helping us to have a wonderful visit!

This is an awesome log cabin that resides in an incredibly scenic setting!

The history of this amazing log cabin is awesome! To think the main portion of this cabin is over 200 years old is incredible! We can't say enough nice things about the place. The cabin itself is beautiful, inside and out. It was immaculately clean. It's very nicely appointed with furnishings and artwork that matches the charm of the cabin. It also has all the modern conveniences you need to be comfortable and feel right at home. We loved having our morning coffee on the small porch off the kitchen, and we spent much of our time in the evening relaxing out on the front porch. The scenic views from almost every window were also incredible. The cabin is located off the beaten trail; however, we felt the twisting and winding roads to get there added to the overall experience and the charm of the place. If you are planning to visit the Ark Encounter, the Creation Museum, or if you just plan to spend some time in the area, we would highly recommend that you consider staying in this delightful log cabin.

Kentucky trip

Your cabin made our trip extra special. Your location and property is so peaceful and relaxing. We loved the country roads and quiet nights. You were close to all of the places we wanted to see yet far enough out to enjoy the countryside. The cabin layout was perfect for us two couples. We played cards at night, enjoyed the sunset over the pond and relaxed during our down time while not out sightseeing. Thank you so much for everything. We had a great trip and enjoyed your cabin immensely. Highly recommend for anyone going to the Ark Encounter or creation museum to stay at your place.
