You can spend a weekend in our Treehouse Yurt, experience comfort and seclusion in our Yome Away From Home, park your RV, pitch your tent, or hang your hammock.
We are also available for your wedding, retreat, reunion, fundraiser, or festival.
We are a farm in the mountains so be prepared to encounter INSECTS (mosquitoes, ticks, chiggers), WILDLIFE (deer, turkey, snakes, toads, and dare we mention the bear track we spotted one spring?), WEATHER (hot, cold, rain, snow), TOXIC PLANTS (poison ivy, stinging nettle, wild mushrooms), just to name a few.
We DO NOT have internet or cell service, though we do have a phone for emergency use (trust us, your "people" aren't out here). Instead, we do encourage other forms of entertainment: instruments, hiking shoes, fishing poles, bubbles, hula hoops, etc.
We also DO NOT have trash service. We will have recycling bins set up for plastic, cans, paper, and compost for your food waste, but plan to take your trash with you when you leave. We will have extra bags for those that forget. We also encourage you to bring your own dishes & cutlery to minimize excess trash as well.
You're always welcome to try our home line before 9pm at 859.Yum.Dirt (986.3478), but the best way to catch us (usually) is via email at [email protected].

Beautiful scenery. Super cute lodging. Excellent hosts. Great place for kids. Kids loved all the little critters in and around the creek.
A wonderful place to take a time-out, with a unique array of accommodations. From a tree house, yurt and tipi to vintage campers and beautiful meadow tent sites. The marvelous community kitchen with a covered porch (a relaxing space to rock some time away with a book) and the community fire circle are great places to connect and socialize with fellow travelers/campers. A nice bonus is homemade jam, farm fresh eggs and veggies for purchase during a stay along with other thoughtful items to make time there even that much better. Another treat was being there for one of the concerts - Holler in the Holler held monthly. The hosts Jessa and Nathan are the best ! Much respect for the sustainable habitat they have created and work super hard to maintain for their guests. HomeGrown Hideaways is truly a remarkable, special and memorable haven !
My fam and I loved staying at HGH both times we have been. We happily drive the 3.5hrs from Northern KY to relax and retreat when we have the extra cash. We stayed in the treehouse both times, but everything went smoothly via Air BNB. Hosts are great, people are warm, & kind. Can't wait to go back!
Want to get away from the hustle and bustle of life? This is the place to go. Waking up to the sweet sound of birds singing is the definition of peaceful. The owners are extremely nice and helpful. For to pack a necessity? They have you covered. The common area is very nice. And while you are there, purchase some homemade jam and any of the other homemade items. The jam was delicious, not too sweet and spreadable. Whether you want to stay in a tent or small rental, I strongly recommend staying at HomeGrown Hideaways.
This place is amazing! You won't have any cell service but it's worth it if you're looking for some peace and quiet and time spent with nature. Will absolutely stay again 10/10
