About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Cozy cabin 8 minutes from Ark Encounter!!

This is a cozy little cabin just 8 minutes from the Ark. It has a loft with two twin beds, and a bedroom with vaulted ceiling and queen bed. It has a full kitchen (with all dishes included), as well as a full bathroom. Note that the wide angle lens used to capture the images of the inside of the cabin make it look slightly larger than it is.
...

The cabin is situated near the top of the property, which slopes down hill for 8 acres and ends at Boltz Lake. Guests are welcome to explore down to the lake and enjoy the beautiful nature scenery. Fishing is permitted at the lake with a fishing license that can be obtained at Walmart just 1.5 miles away. Within a short drive, a dock amd boat ramp are located on the opposite side of the lake. The property is in one sense secluded but, at the same time, only minutes from town and the highway.
...

Deer, ground hogs, and rabbits live on the property. We would love for you to enjoy them, while not scaring them! : )
...

All soaps, shampoos, blankets, linens, towels, and such are provided freshly cleaned for each guest. (We have put a lot of research into our linens. We do not think you will be disappointed in them.)
...

We are making available a $40 discount to anyone who would like to do their own cleaning. We have learned from our first cabin that our guests are almost always very clean. So, we thought we could offer to pass some savings off to our guests in this way. If you are interested in this, just mention it and we will send you the details, but, in short, you take the cabin as it was left by the last guests, changing your own linens out and any other cleanup you wish to do. We are seeking ways to keep our costs down for those guests who deem it worthwhile.
....

Also, the Creation Museum is 40 minutes away, and between the Creation Museum and the cabin is Big Bone Lick State Park. The Cincinnati zoo and other attractions are also around.

As a side recommendation, if this is your first visit to the Ark Encounter, we do recommend more than a day, if you are able. The Ark is so large, it can be overwhelming to take it all in in a day.
...

The property currently has another cabin that rents out as well (see pictures for cabin next door). If you are interested in booking them together, here is the link to the other cabin:

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!
During your stay at this cabin, you'll be within walking distance of Dry Ridge Outlet Mall. A kitchen and a microwave are available in the cabin.
  • Air-conditioned cabin with kitchen, refrigerator, and microwave
  • Just a 3-minute drive from Dry Ridge Outlet Mall and 8 minutes from Ark Encounter

Perfect cabin
This cabin was perfect for our family who was visiting from Louisiana. We had a family of five and we slept comfortably. The host accommodated us very well. The cabin was very well stocked with everything we needed couldn’t ask for a better host would definitely recommend.

Nice little cabin. Fit our needs for an alternative to motel close to Ark Encounter. Pleasant country setting, but not too far from highway and restaurants, stores if needed. Be nice place for small family that likes cabin setting.

Tiny House Close to The Ark Encounter
Our twin 9-year-old grandchildren said this was a fantastic vacation & loved their loft bedroom. Close to The Ark Encounter, Whispering Woods Horseback riding, & The Creation Museum. Also only half hour to Cincinnati airport.

Short vacation
We enjoyed our stay. Jonathan was great to work with and very friendly. We chose this location for being close to the Creation museum and Ark encounter. The site is still under construction, but was not a hinderance. We enjoyed our stay. It was quiet and peaceful. The camp sity is under construction

Very nice place
We stayed at the cabin for three nights with our two boys and they loved it. The cabin is surrounded by beautiful hills and a pound at the bottom of the hill. We took a walk every morning and we cooked fresh food every day. Inside the cabin was clean and comfortable. It was close to the Ark too.

Very pleased.
Cozy cabin perfect for a family stay. We visited the Ark and it was such a quick and easy drive. Food places located on the same road out of the cabin. Our kids loved the 2 beds in the loft area. We absolutely loved the added touch of the wooden rustic “In God we trust” wall hanging rack in the bedroom, as well as the white noise machine. We had a concern come up, and the host went above and beyond to not only make it right but make sure that everything worked out and was fixed for us, even though it wasn’t his fault at all. The communication and responses were a 10/10. It was our first time to Kentucky and we would definitely consider staying here again in the future if we were coming to Kentucky.

The welcome packet had very clear instructions about the property. Location was great being only nine minutes from The Ark Encounter, a few minutes from town but in a country setting and remote feel. Great communication from the host too. Aces!

Wonderful comfortable stay
Overall, we really enjoyed this place, being able to walk to the lake to fish was a plus for my son. There is construction on the site which I expected, and you are very close to neighboring air b&b, other than that, it was very serene.

The rental was perfect for our trip to the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum. It was very clean and spacious even though it’s a small cabin. Very open. My older kids loved the loft and the board games were a plus! The check in and out was easy and the communication with the manager was very prompt. Definitely recommend.

As advertised, the unit is a cozy little cabin. The host has provided most everything you need to enjoy your time there. We were a group of 6 that expanded by one more and the host had no problem accommodating the change. Would definitely stay again if we find ourselves in the area again.

Came for only a weekend to see the Arc. Was super close to town for supplies and food. Arc was not a far drive either. Everything seems to be fairly new for the price I have no complaints.
