Snug Hollow Farm Bed and Breakfast

One of our guests is a writer for Appalachia + Mid-South Newsroom and featured Snug Hollow in his weekly newsletter “The Porch Light”. Full link included in comments below.

“This Derby season, my wife and I opted to bid the city of Louisville a fond farewell for the weekend.

We traveled out to Estill County, Kentucky, drove up a holler and stayed at Snug Hollow Bed and Breakfast. Snug Hollow is one of the most magical places I’ve stayed in Kentucky, hands down. My sincere thanks and gratitude to the Snug Hollow team for their stewardship of the land and the conservation of a truly special place.

Our weekend was full of wandering along trails, admiring a pileated woodpecker, petting dogs (Kasper and Scout), sitting on a porch and eating some of the best damn food I’ve ever had the pleasure of shoveling down my gullet. I nearly cried while eating eggplant parmesan.

At Snug Hollow, you come for the views but stay for the food; really you have no choice because you’ll be too full to move. The meals are locally sourced and many recipes come from Barbara Napier, the original owner.

I remarked to my wife how a good, thoughtful meal is often the first thing to go in our busy lives. When was the last time you felt a meal truly nourished you in body and soul? If I had to guess, it’s probably been a while–too busy aren’t you? Well make some time for yourself or, better yet, head out to Snug Hollow; you won’t regret it.”

Our courtyard is bursting with blooms, and the birds are happy. The sweet hummingbirds are finally back for the season, too! Now we just need some spring rain to head our way. 🌦️☀️🌷

If you’re looking for a quick getaway next weekend, we have one cabin for the full weekend and a one night (Friday) stay option. Come relax in the holler and plan an afternoon out in Berea to visit the Berea Arts Council Garden Tour. Comment below if interested in booking a weekend getaway & link for garden tour tickets.

Tickets are still available for the 2026 Berea Arts Council Garden Tour 2026. Spend the day exploring six beautiful local gardens throughout Berea, each with its own character, creativity, and inspiration to discover along the way. Guests will receive a digital PDF version of the official Garden Tour Program ahead of the event, and printed copies will also be available the day of the tour at the gardens and at the Berea Arts Council gallery.

Volunteer garden greeters will be at each stop throughout the day to welcome visitors and assist with check-in. Looking for an extra-special experience? VIP Tea Party tickets include access to a private garden tea gathering with refreshments in one of this year’s featured gardens.

Thank you for supporting one of BAC’s longstanding community fundraisers.

Wishing all of the wonderful women in our lives a happy Mother’s Day. ❤️

Our amazing Snug Hollow team is made up of moms & daughters who are some of the strongest, hard working and must supportive women we know. A huge thank you for bringing the magic to the holler everyday — felt by not just us, but our guests. We are so grateful for you! 🥰

With the Mountain Mushroom Festival In Irvine Kentucky this weekend we have two last-minute reservations that rescheduled.

We have our Pearl suite in the main farmhouse open — with a nice 2nd story porch with view of the Holler and a beautiful soaking tub.

We also have our Wildwood Studio open for the weekend. 3 private porches and views fit for a mushroom queen (or king)!

These spots won’t last long with so many folks traveling to town for the festival, so call or send us an email as soon as you can!
