Snug Hollow is an award-winning retreat center tucked into a magical ‘holler’ in central Kentucky. It has gained such accolades as “50 Best Girlfriend Getaways of North America” by National Geographic Traveler, “One of the 5 Most Romantic Places in the South” by Southern Living, and “One of the Top 10 BnBs in Kentucky” by Trip Advisor. Snug Hollow has been building their sanctuary for 25 years when founder Barbara Napier began an organic farm on part of the nearly 300 acres, living in a cabin built there in the 1800s. As she farmed, she began to build what would become the farmhouse inn building in 1998. Then she began inviting people out for a cozy getaway and delicious farm-to-table meals. Over the years, she continued to add cabins while maintaining the charm. In 2024, Barbara retired and Will Dawson and Ryan Joseph Allen bought Snug Hollow, moved in and with the long-time staff continued to bring the magic to the holler. They’ve added a new meeting house to support the needs of retreats like Crone Fire.
The Food
Food at Crone Fire is divinely inspired. If you’ve ever been on a Pollinate Ritual weekend you know the importance of food in connecting with our environment and each other. A light breakfast, lunch and dinner will be served each day of the retreat. We’ve partnered with Snug Hollow’s amazing chefs to create a spirit-filled vegetarian menu that will keep your energy high and your bellies happy. Don’t worry! Our Pollinate bread will be there too because we are going to the place it was created. That’s right! Pollinate’s famous bread is also Snug Hollow’s famous rosemary braided bread. We will even have a class for you so you can make it at home.
The Accommodation
Snug Hollow features multiple beautiful and cozy cabins for Crone Fire attendees. The cabins are shared accommodation and designed to maximize connections for attendees. Stunning views, quiet porches, fireplaces, warm and cozy beds and fully appropriated bathrooms unsure you will have a comfortable weekend with friends new and old.
