Quaint Cabin - 8 minutes from Ark Encounter!! Country setting, near town!!

This cabin is situated near the top of the hill, just below a couple barns and next to another cabin that is slowly being prepared for use. The 8-acre plot of farmland that the cabin sits on rolls down the hill to Boltz Lake (pronounced "Bolt-z"). Guests are welcome to take a stroll down the hill and enjoy the scenery. Be aware, though, that if you go in the summer, you may not want to leave...ever. You just disappear into a beautiful nature scene when you go down the hill, and even though the highway and downtown Dry Ridge are only minutes away, you are totally surrounded by nature down there...and a couple distant farms out on the hills. It is common to wake up at the cabin to find a herd of deer walking by outside.

While the landscaping is slowly moving forward, the inside is not waiting for anything. As you step into the cabin, you are surrounded by wood. Wood walls. Wood ceiling, and a large timber wooden ladder that leads up to the loft. The whole atmosphere makes you want to settle in a stay a while.

The loft is a low loft that is 12' x 12' and has a plush queen mattress, as well as a twin mattress. The floor of the loft is made from Tiger Bamboo.

Below the loft is the main bedroom, a cozy place to cuddle up for the night. It also has a plush queen mattress.

Linens, blankets, and pillows are provided for all beds.

A pack-n-play toddler bed is in the cabin.

Also, a comfy single-person cot is available in the cabin.

The bathroom is inside the bedroom and is a full bathroom with shower, sink, and toilet. Basic amenities like bars of shower soap and shampoo bottles are provided. Towels and washcloths are also provided.

Outside the bedroom is a large common area which has a kitchen, living room, and dining area.
The kitchen is a full-sized kitchen, with full sized stove and convection oven, microwave, sink, and a small fridge. Pots, pans, cups, and plates are all provided. Even a pizza stone. And more is being added all the time. (We would enjoy hearing your ideas!)

The living room has a wrap around couch that is very flat, which makes it good for sleeping on if a child does not want to sleep in the loft.

The dining area has an antique farmhouse table that is around 100 years old, built back when Henry Ford was still producing Model-T cars. It has 6 chairs, plus a high chair.

While the cabin is further from the highway than most or all hotels around, it is still within distant earshot of the highway. To assure that the highway noise does not prevent any rest, we have purchased excellent noise-cancelling curtains that double as blackout curtains and have also provided an ambient, high fidelity noise machine that recreates 21 different soothing sounds to choose from.
Wireless internet is, of course, provided.

Please be aware, as I mentioned above, that the bathroom is inside the main bedroom. This can cause an awkward situation if guests are outside sleeping in the living room or loft but need to use the restroom at night.

At the cabin door, you will only be 8 minutes from the Ark Encounter entrance. (If you get stuck at the traffic light, it may be 9 minutes.) Heading north, you are 40 minutes from the Creation Museum, with Big Bone Lick State Historic Site half way between the Creation Museum and the cabin.
Downtown Cincinnati is 36 minutes, the Cincinnati Zoo is 42 minutes, and Lexington to the south is 45 minutes.
Walmart is 1.5 miles away.

Contactless checkin

(Cabin stays cozy even when the temps get into the minus degrees outside.)

FOR THOSE WITH ANIMALS: "According to recent research, between 10 and 20% of the population worldwide are allergic to household pets such as dogs and cats. Any allergy-sufferer will know, it’s a long process to transform a property from pet-friendly to pet-free, as dander can remain long after pets depart." (From Lodgify) Our facilities are pet-free and we ask that anyone who desires to bring an animal seek out one of the openly animal-friendly rentals in our area so that those with severe allergies can come without endangering their comfort or their health. Thank you!

Enjoyed our stay. Convenient location to The Ark Encounter. The area around the property is under renovation so we didn’t get to explore much. The second bedroom/loft is more of an overhead crawl space. No outlet to charge my phone. Better suited for children than adults. Fireplace not working. That would have been nice with the cold front that came through.

Excellent location for visit to Ark Encounter
The cabin is small, but cozy. We stayed with our family of seven and enjoyed the close quarters and the great location (about ten minutes from the Ark Encounter). (Also, less than a mile from a Cracker Barrel where we enjoyed dinner one night.) Beautiful view of Kentucky topography. The only downside to our visit was the weather - serious storms. We did lose power for our final night and morning there, but still had water. We would use this rental again!

Loved how clean and cozy this cabin was. Beautifully finished and equipped to the finest detail. The beds were super comfortable and the bathroom was very clean and well stocked with fresh towels and even little soaps to use. It was the perfect spot to stay if traveling to see the Ark Encounter and Creation museum. Nice and quiet with a rustic feel.

Great location
Overall, great stay. Cabin was a quick drive to everything we wanted to do. It had everything we needed. The host was quick to respond and checked in halfway through our stay. I would echo prior reviews that there needs to be a window covering on the west facing window for the comfort of those in the loft. Minor dusting of cobwebs would also go aaadows.facing window

Family style
Living quarters clean and tidy. Stocked well with linens and kitchen including coffee and creamer. Sunset was beautiful. Close to stores and Ark. The loft area height is restricted so be mindful when deciding who sleeps up top - have to climb ladder and crawl into beds so not recommend for toddlers, elderly or claustrophobic. A definite repeat stay.

The host was very nice and the cabin was easy to get to. There were a few minor things such as it was a little dusty and there were quite a lot of spiders.

Perfect for a family trip to the Arc Encounter
We stayed a couple of nights with our daughter, son-in-law and four grandchildren (ages 7,5,3, and 1). The cabin was perfect for our family. Well equipped with things to make your stay convenient and comfortable. Owners were wonderful to work with and provided great communication. Highly recommend.

Great cabin! Great price! Great Location!
This cabin was just what we were looking for, for a getaway with friends. Great price for a last minute trip. Views from the cabin are beautiful. The cabin itself is also beautiful on the inside. The property manager was very friendly and responsive. I’d definitely consider renting here again, and maybe taking my family next time.
