Property Description
The Catawba farm is located at the actual site of the former town of Catawba. The town of Catawba in the late 1800’s had a blacksmith shop, general store, school, church, train station and pop. ~110. You will feel the history as you explore the 99 acre farm taking in the beautiful scenery or relaxing at the beautifully renovated farmhouse. The farm has 1.5 miles of Licking River waterfront w/nice river access and stocked 1acre fishing pond.
The farmhouse boasts custom Kentucky field stone work and barnwood detail throughout. Much of the materials used on the renovation came off or out of buildings and barns around the farm. The farmhouse has two primary bedrooms w/queen beds. Both primary bedrooms have their own private walkout. The third bedroom has two sets bunk beds w/ full size beds on bottom and twin on top. Beautifully updated kitchen. Oversized deck with gazebo and fire pit outback offer an exceptional experience. Spacious front porch with seating. Very cool to watch the trains pass by.
Just outside your door you have a tranquil swimming pond with a fountain and dock. Take a hike on our 2.5 mile Catawba Farm loop nature trail where you can explore the farm including a stocked pond, the Licking River access points and the beautiful wildlife and scenic views. At the Patriot Barn(red, white and blue roof) you can visit Jackie our rescue donkey, Big T the bull, The 3 Little Pigs and our two Tennessee Fainting Goats. Jackie loves apples and other fruits and vegetables, Big T loves to be fed hay and the pigs...they will eat anything.
Keep in mind this is an operating farm and you may see farmers and workers come and go time to time.
If the river conditions allow for it we offer canoe trips or river raft rides without leaving the valley. Farmer Rob the neighbor who owns Gravett Farms can come pick you up. He will guide you to and help you in at a river access point on his property and your trip will finish up at our Licking River access.

Lovely Christmas Trip
This home was perfect for the 6 of us. Our family had a blast cruising around the farm and visiting the animals. Our kiddos did a lot of exploring. Scott was so helpful with answering all of our questions and providing maps of the property. The home had everything we needed and more. Plenty of paper towels, toilet paper, trash bags, laundry detergent, dish detergent, etc - things many rentals don’t provide. There kitchen was fully stocked, allowing us to cook meals as if we were at home. The house is cozy and homey. We loved the addition of the wood stove and it kept us very warm! The house has been updated nicely and the TVs in each room were a plus. We visited both the Ark Encounter and the Creation Museum. Make sure you snag a Dramamine for the Ark Encounter drive - it’s a curvy doozy. Overall great location and great experience. We loved the small town farm experience and would definitely stay again.

Exactly as described
We enjoyed staying here for the weekend with our daughter son in law. Great place to unwind for the weekend and not far from The Ark encounter. They did a fantastic job with the temodel. The home is lovely.

Just perfect!
A gorgeous house in a peaceful, serene setting. I have nothing but positive things to say about our vacation experience and enjoyed our stay very much. If you are looking for a house with charm and history in a quiet, beautiful country setting then this is your place. The house had plenty of space for our family of four. The hosts had every thing we needed to make our stay comfortable. We hope to come back soon.

Country Charm
Enjoying staying in this home while visiting family in Falmouth. Quiet, peaceful retreat. My husband is a retired Railroad engineer so he enjoyed talking about the trains that went by.

Quiet and secluded.
Stayed for a 3 day weekend with my wife, my grown daughter, and Daphne our Basset Hound. Lot's of walking space for dogs, and she loved meeting the farm animals. My daughter loved feeding them also. The house is clean, well furnished,

Ark Encounter trip
This was a great place. Not a long drive to Ark Encounter or Creation Museum. The house was clean and everything was as described. We used the deck/outdoor space a lot. Scott was a great host, allowing access to their property. Our family enjoyed both ponds with swimming, fishing, and kayaks/row boat, as well as hiking to the river. We also enjoyed visiting the animals in the barn. The only negative was the train that came through every night. Woke us every time, but I’m a light sleeper. Our kids did like looking for their crushed pennies though.

Peaceful Stay Close to Everything
We had an awesome stay during our visit to Kentucky. Close to the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter. Owner took us on a tour of the place, beautiful spot. We loved the animals in the barn and being able to walk down to the river. The pond by the house was great fun for swimming.
