The Hidden Explorer’s Cabin In Kentucky Is A Beach Getaway With The Utmost Charm
Jenny Wiley State Park is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful places in the Bluegrass State, with its beach offering a true taste of ocean paradise… right here in Kentucky! And while the park’s May Lodge is certainly worth checking into, if you’re looking for something a bit more secluded and off-the-beaten-path, we have just the place for you. Located within the Kentucky State Park and just moments away from Dewey Lake, the Explorer’s Cabin is a hidden gem that’s positively brimming with charm, and is the perfect place for a beach getaway in the Bluegrass!
Jenny Wiley State Resort Park is one of the most beautiful treasures in the state. This Kentucky State Park is 2,871 acres of pure Bluegrass beauty, offering an abundance of opportunities for outdoor recreation of both the land and water varieties.
The park’s crown jewel is the 1,100-acre Dewey Lake, a cerulean pool with some of the bluest water in the state. You’ll be dazzled by its azure waters, which make Jenny Wiley State Park truly stand out — even in a state that’s known for its abundance of rivers and lakes!
Located mere moments from this lovely lake, you'll find this hidden treasure. The Explorer's Cabin is a charming, A-frame cottage that offers a perfect slice of lakeside living in Kentucky.
Every inch of this space was customized by owner Jarred McGuire, down the coffee tables, counters, sinks, and fixtures. It's these charming little features (check out that spiral staircase!) that make this cabin such a special place to stay.
The outside of this cottage is just as amazing as the interior, if you can believe it. A beautiful wood deck with benches and built-in coolers make it a place for whiling away the afternoon and evening, surrounded by verdant greenery and endless Bluegrass skies.
There's also a hammock nestled in one of the property's trees!
And just moments away, there's this: Jenny Lake! The best water recreation in Kentucky is just outside your door when you stay at the Explorer's Cabin.
