Woodlands, dells, meadows, streams, and small lakes are within the property that makes up The Close. There are trails leading from the cabins and lodges to ridge top views, valley floors, waterfalls, and gorge overlooks. These trails also lead to connections to Forest Service trails descending into the Rockcastle River Gorge and surrounding forest land. Pines, Oaks, Dogwoods, Redbud, Serviceberry and many varieties of wildflowers color The Close throughout the year. Canopy trees create refreshingly cool spots while early wildflowers warm cool spring days. We invite you to experience the grounds during your stay to taste God's creation and His will for your life.
