Martin, Kentucky is a small, friendly Appalachian river‑valley town in Floyd County with KY‑80 and KY‑122 nearby, a compact main street and easy access to local trails and river scenery — a low‑stress, authentic home base that makes multi‑week travel assignments pleasant and restorative.
Within a short drive you can reach Prestonsburg (county seat with the Mountain Arts Center, Jenny Wiley State Resort Park and elk‑watching tours) and Pikeville (a larger regional hub with the University of Pikeville, Appalachian Wireless Arena and seasonal festivals), so weekend escapes and more dining/entertainment options are easy to access.
