The private trail film

The Knobview Trail

From the hardwoods to the open meadow, the walk that comes with the property. This film is sped up in the woods and slows to real time for the last stretch, so you arrive the way guests do.

Stabilized footage, filmed on the property in autumn. Sped up through the woods, real speed on the final approach.

    Chapter one

    Into the hardwoods

    The path starts in the trees. Leaves, filtered light and the quiet you drove here for.

    Chapter two

    Where the woods open

    The canopy breaks and the sky appears, and so does the lodge, small on its hill in the distance.

  3. 0:26

    Chapter three

    Down to the pasture

    The trail slopes toward the open meadow, grass and sky on both sides.

    Chapter four

    Home by golden light

    Walking speed, no speedup. The lodge sits on its hill and the afternoon sun hits the logs.

Walk it yourself

Trail guide

A cleared path through hardwoods, then out into open pasture with the lodge in view. The stretch in our film takes under two minutes at a walking pace, and much longer if you stop for the leaves.

Land
30 private acres
Surface
Natural dirt, leaves, roots and grass
Terrain
Gentle hills, tree canopy, then open meadow
Wildlife
Deer and wild turkey

Wear

Closed-toe shoes with grip. In fall the leaves hide roots and uneven ground.

Best light

The hour before sunset. The meadow turns gold and the lodge glows.

Time

The stretch in our film is about two minutes at a walking pace. Allow much longer to wander the rest of the 30 acres and stop for photos.

Leave no trace

Pack out what you bring in, keep dogs leashed, and leave the woods as you found them.

Ticks and season

Check for ticks afterward. In November, wear bright orange during Kentucky deer season.

Follow the cleared path from the lodge grounds into the trees. The film on The Trail page shows the route.
Wear sturdy shoes. In fall, leaves cover roots and uneven ground.
Keep to the path and stay on the property. Your 30 acres end at the property line.

More detail on the hot tub, fire pit and Speakeasy is on the Experiences page.
