It’s true that most of us do not spend all of our days in a charming cabin nestled on a private lake, relaxing in Kentucky’s natural beauty… but that sure sounds nice, doesn’t it? Luckily, many Kentuckians have created getaways like this that we can experience for ourselves, even if only for a night or two. We’ve discovered a dreamy cabin tucked away in Eastern Kentucky that does, indeed, have its own private lake, as well as 13 quiet acres to enjoy! But be forewarned: chances are you’ll never want to leave.

When a home’s driveway is a gravel path through thick woods, you know you’re headed someplace special.

Airbnb And when you pull up to this large, stunning cabin in Catlettsburg, Kentucky, you will quickly realize it is, indeed, special.

The cabin is located on 13 acres close to the West Virginia border and the city of Huntington.

The cabin may be tucked away in the woods, but it is surprisingly beautiful inside.

Airbnb The entire space is decorated with a rustic, wildlife theme, which adds so much character.

The main living space is large and open and includes everything you will need for your stay.

Airbnb The kitchen is fully stocked - just bring your own food - and there is also a large gas fireplace and cable TV.

With three sleeping spaces in the cabin, there’s plenty of room for the entire family.

Airbnb The master bedroom includes a king-sized bed and a master bath with steam shower.

There is also a queen bed in the open loft upstairs and a bunk room that houses four extra-long beds.

Airbnb The beds are comfortable and the space is cozy - just what you want in a cabin in the woods.

As nice as the cabin is, you’ll want to spend as much time as possible outdoors.

Airbnb Bring plenty of books and rock away on the large porch. The pond is catch and release, but you can definitely spend hours relaxing with a fishing pole and taking in the views and the quiet.

There are also plenty of other outdoor adventures nearby, both in West Virginia and Kentucky.
