Dreamy Glamping Tent Near Conley Bottom

About this space
Named for our favorite Smooth Hound Smith song, "Young & Golden" is a 12'x14' safari tent on a wooden platform with a roof. Listen to tree frogs as you drift off to sleep on a queen bed with soft, dreamy linens. The tent features power, lamps, chairs, and a desk inside. Outside, enjoy a private fire pit or sit a spell on a rocking chair on the back deck. Our Community Shelter, with a fridge, sink, and coffee maker, and our Bath House with flush toilets and hot showers are a short walk away.
The space
Young & Golden is secluded, yet close to amenities like the Community Shelter, which provides a a sink, mirror and outdoor shower, as well as useful cooking items: charcoal grill, refrigerator, electric burner, coffee maker, toaster, pots, pans and tongs. We also have a grate system that allows you to cook over the open fire (grates are hanging from a tree near the community fire pit).

Parking is approximately 200 feet from the tent.

The main trail to the lake begins right past the shelter, and there are other trails located throughout the property that take you to a natural spring and along the multiple creeks that flow down into Lake Cumberland.
Guest access

Other things to note
OUR LAKE ACCESS
We have one main hiking trail to the lake that starts at the back of the property near the Community Shelter. It will take about 15 minutes to get to the water, where there is a rocky beach to hang out and swim from. Because you are descending (or ascending) a ridge, it is steep in places and may be challenging for small kids and elderly adults.

Things that will make your experience most enjoyable: Water shoes (not flip flops), floats/lifejackets.

PLEASE NOTE: During spring and early summer, the water levels are higher and there may be limited beach area. But, there are other places to access the lake nearby.
