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

NOTICE: THE CABIN HAS A LOFT AND A BEDROOM. THE BEDROOM HAS A QUEEN BED, AND THE LOFT HAS A QUEEN AND A TWIN, BOTH ON THE FLOOR. We list our occupancy at 8 so that large families or adventuresome groups can stay, but for some groups, especially older ones, this is only a 4 or 5 person cabin.
We have two large sofas, a pack-n-play for little ones in the cabin that can also be used. (And by request ahead of time, we have a cot that can be made available.)

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 (this is a small family run business), 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 sturdy 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. (We would enjoy hearing your ideas for improvement!)

The living room has two large leather sofas, which make for two extra sleeping locations, if people don't mind sleeping on a couch.

The dining area has a 6 foot slab table. 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!

Ark Encounter stay

My mom, sisters and I stayed at Johnathan's place the evening prior to visiting the Ark Encounter. His place was located less than 10 minutes from the Ark and just a couple minutes from area restaurants. Johnathan's cabin had everything we needed. He was very kind and accomodating.

I traveled with 6 others to visit the Ark. We just needed a place to sleep for a few hours before our commute back to NC. This rental certainly fill our needs. It certainly is more fitting for 1-2 people by size but was true to the listing.

Loved it had a great honeymoon

It was a great blessing being able to stay in a place that was better than home with all the things you may need. It was beautiful and the owner was very nice and helpful. He treated us better than family. The only thing we wished was different was if the shower wasn't so small and if there was a list of churches in the area. We will definitely be back.
