Stay in a land-loving sailboat.
Come have a unique rest in a cozy cabin of a Catalina 18-foot sailboat. It is gently set on dry land amid native plantings and evolving wildlife habitats at Trace Space KY. It is a tiny space with a small picnic area to enjoy a campfire -or walk down to the 'community area' firepit near a tiny pond, tree benches, and a hammock surrounded by native flowers- sit and enjoy nature's song and the stars!
​
This small sailboat cabin offers a comfortable sleeping space — simple, peaceful, and perfect for reconnecting with nature. The cabin accommodates two adults with a V-berth (a triangular bed in the bow of the cabin for 1 person on each side), and two quarterberths, which can be used to store your bags.
You’ll wake to birdsong and the rustle of native grasses, surrounded by an intentional landscape designed to restore life to the land and biodiversity.
​
When in season, enjoy a taste of what the land offers by harvesting ripe fruit or herbs from the garden. Learn how the ongoing creation of habitat at Trace Space KY supports biodiversity and a healthier environment for all.
​
Whether you come for quiet rest, inspiration, or to learn about native planting and habitat restoration, this little sailboat stay invites you to slow down and reconnect — with the land, with yourself, and with the wider web of life.
Trace Space KY is a small, evolving landscape project in eastern Kentucky focused on regeneration, creativity, and connection to place. The site combines ecological restoration with artful design, demonstrating how even compact spaces can support vibrant native habitats.
Here, visitors can witness the slow building of a sustainable ecosystem — from pollinator meadows to young fruit trees — while learning practical ways to bring habitat creation into their own lives. Trace Space KY hosts artists, learners, and travelers who share a love of land, balance, and beauty.
Come be part of the story — and leave inspired to create habitat wherever you go.
Located within Trace Space KY, this site is part of a broader project dedicated to sustainability, native ecology, and creative land stewardship. Guests are invited to explore how art, nature, and mindful design come together here to create a living classroom and sanctuary.
