Housing

A block of rooms at Carter Caves Park is being held for the school until June 5.  Most have two double beds, but there are a very few with one queen bed or with one king bed.  In addition, there are some campsites.  MAKE YOUR ROOM RESERVATIONS DIRECTLY WITH THE PARK BY CALLING (606) 286-4411 and use the code "2448 KY-WV Seasonal Schools Conference 2018" before JUNE  5.

Cost: 

Rooms:  About $111/night plus about $11/night for each additional adult beyond two.

Campsites:  About $37/night.

Other options

There are various hotels in Grayson, KY, which is about 20 minutes away.

Food

Some refreshments will be provided.  Meals are available for purchase at the Carter Caves Park’s restaurant—refer to the park’s website for menus and prices.  Note that there are no other restaurants very close by, but there are some in Grayson, for example.  Also, the park states that we cannot bring in our own food into the restaurant and meeting areas.

Some Park Information

The park offers swimming, cave tours, gem mining, birding, canoeing, fishing, hiking, horseback riding, miniature golf, playgrounds, and tennis.  See the park’s website for more details.  We are also planning for some zumba.

Directions

Consult your maps with care before embarking, and be aware that cell reception (or real-time GPS contact) may at times be extremely weak or non-existent.  Also, roads near the park are somewhat narrow and windy—perhaps not much fun driving on for the first time in the dark.  Fortunately, the park is not too far off Interstate 64.  It is about 90 minutes east of Lexington, KY, and about 45 minutes west of Huntington, WV.

Housing

A block of rooms at Buckhorn Lake Park is being held for the school until August 22.  Most have two double beds (no refrigerator), but there are two rooms with one queen bed (no refrigerator), and two with one king bed and a mini refrigerator.  In addition, there is one two-bedroom cottage available with four double beds.  Make your room reservations and payments through the KY-WV Baha’i School registration site.  Check in:  after 4 pm, checkout: before 11 am (10 am for the cottage).

Room with one king bed:

$107/night plus $11/night for each additional adult beyond two

Cottage:

$181/night plus $11/night for each additional adult beyond six

There is no wifi in the cottage at this time

Other options

There is no campground at the Park; please consult your own maps and information sources for campgrounds in the region.  For example, Eagle’s Landing Campground is 3.3 miles away, though we have no information to offer on its amenities or whether it will be open at that date.  Contact information: 265 State Hwy 2072, Gays Creek, KY 41745, phone: (606) 398-7071.  There are other campgrounds in the area that are farther away.  There are also various hotels in Hazard, KY, but be aware that this is more than 20 miles away.

Food

Some refreshments will be provided, including continental breakfasts.  Meals are available for purchase at the Buckhorm Lake Park’s restaurant, Bowlingtown Country Kitchen—refer to the park’s website for menus and prices.  Note that there are no other restaurants nearby.  Also, the park states that we cannot bring in our own food into the restaurant and meeting areas.

Some Park Information

The park offers a beach and bathhouse by the lake for swimming (water conditions and weather permitting), an outdoor swimming pool, basketball, volleyball, horseshoes, a small playground, hiking, fishing (license required), minigolf (fee), and rental pontoon boats.  The park is also a good place for elk and bird watching.  See the park’s website for more details.

Free wifi is available in the lodge housing and meeting rooms, but not in the cottage.

Directions

Consult your maps with great care before embarking, and be aware that cell reception (or real-time GPS contact) may at times be extremely weak or non-existent.  Also, roads become somewhat narrow and very windy—perhaps not much fun driving on for the first time in the dark.  Coming from the north we suggest taking a route that near the end follows KY-15 S toward Hazard, and then turning right onto KY-28 W roughly 21.2 miles after Jackson.  Stay on KY-28 W for about 10.2 miles and then turn left onto KY-1833.  The park is then about 4.8 miles on the left.  On the other hand, if you are coming from the south on KY-15 N from Hazard you would turn left onto KY-28 W roughly 9 miles after Hazard and then proceed as above.
