About this property
Timber Frame Country Retreat.
Close to Ark Encounter, Creation Mus.-Entire Home
Tucked away in the quiet beauty of the woods, this rustic and romantic cabin is the perfect escape for couples, families, or anyone looking to unwind and reconnect with nature. Surrounded by towering trees and peaceful scenery, you'll feel a world away from the everyday-yet still conveniently close to some of Kentucky's most popular attractions. The Ark Encounter and Creation Mus. are just a short drive away, making this the perfect unique destination. Also close to the Idlewild Disc Golf course and Cincinnati Ohio. The cabin was made for meaningful moments. Seat on the lower or upper covered deck and listen to the fountain hitting the pond. Inside, you'll find warm wood tones, cozy furnishings, and a welcoming layout. Step out and enjoy one of the most memorable properties-three separate fire pits. Each offers its own unique setting, allowing you to choose your perfect spot for the evening. Roast marshmallows, share stories under the stars, or enjoy a quiet moment by the fire with nothing but the sounds of nature. Inside, the cabin offers a spacious and comfortable layout across two levels, making it ideal for all groups. The upper level features an open concept floor plan, creating a warm and inviting space where everyone can gather. The kitchen, dining area, and living room flow seamlessly together, making it easy to cook, dine and unwind without missing a moment. The living room includes a 58-inch Smart TV with streaming capabilities, the perfect position to be viewed from the kitchen and dining areas. This level includes two bedrooms and one full bathroom with a shower/tube. One bedroom is furnished with a full-size bed and the other with a queen bed. For additional sleeping space, the living room offers a sofa sleeper. Head down the charming spiral staircase to the lower level, where you will find even more space to spread out. This level includes the third bedroom with a queen bed and a bonus room with an additional queen bed, and another full bathroom. The lower level features a cozy family room with another 58-inch Smart TV, ideal for movie nights or giving the kids and adults their own space. Just off the family room, you'll find a dedicated office/work area with a scenic view of the pond and fountain, offering a peaceful and inspiring spot for remote work or quiet reflection. For added convenience, the cabin includes a laundry room with a washer and dryer. With its thoughtful layout, multiple sleeping areas, and inviting shared spaces, this cabin is designed to provide both comfort and flexibility-weather you're here for a weekend getaway or an extended stay.

The cabin was a great space for our whole family to connect and enjoy meals and games together. The rooms were super comfortable and plenty of space. Great visit!
This was a perfect getaway for my family from MI and MD to meet halfway for the holidays! We truly enjoyed our stay! It was the perfect amount of space, the beds were comfortable the living space was great for games and movies and opening gifts!
Amazing!!The home was very cozy and comfortable. The gift basket was very thoughtful and a nice touch. The house had everything we needed and was immaculate. I loved the back deck overlooking the pond. I could have stayed out there hours. Already planning our next trip!
This cabin has everything! Great location, close to town but still secluded feeling, roomy and comfortable, peaceful, fire pits are amazing!! Great for a quick get away!!
Our family absolutely loved the secluded cabin and private pond. We enjoyed four days of fishing, campfires (choice of three locations) and The Ark and Creation Museums! Kids, adults and grandparents appreciated this well equipped, clean and rustic home with something for everyone. The owner, Terri, was accommodating and so kind. Five stars!
Our family had a wonderful New Year's Eve vacation at the cabin. Some went to Perfect North, others shopping, but we all gathered for dinner and card games in the evenings, while kids enjoyed movies in the basement and the guys had football going in the living room. It was really great!
Timber Frame Country Retreat is a perfect location for to visit both the Creation Museum and Arc Encounter. Terri was wonderful to work with and always immediately available for any questions or help. Well appointed and super clean. We had two couples, but could have accommodated four couples very well. Highly Recommended!
We traveled to Kentucky to see the Ark encounter and creation museum and this was the perfect spot between both attractions! Florence was also very easy to get to for groceries and other needs! The fishing pond and fire pits were a hit! The owners were very responsive when I had questions as well! The home was so warm and inviting and very clean with plenty of amenities and was fully stocked. My 5 year old son loved all the board games and the house was very accommodating with a pack and play and infant tub for the baby!! Can not say enough about this home! Also had a short drive up to Cincinnati for Italian at "Scotties" it was soooo good!! We will definitely be back!
Walking into Ms. Terri’s cabin was like being welcomed in by a beloved family member. She’d set up a welcome basket for us with a sweet card and tons of snacks. The cabin was immaculately cleaned, decorated so cozy, and stocked with anything we could have needed. It really did feel like we were visiting that aunt that has everything you could need and more. We forgot a pack and play for our 2 year old… she had one. I forgot to iron one of my shirts.. she had and iron and and ironing board. I got a stain on said shirt… stain remover was in the laundry room. And let’s not forget the view. Wow…. Pictures don’t do it justice. The cabin is perfectly tucked away in the woods but we were still only 13 ish minutes away from a Kroger and such in town. Just the perfect stay!
We decided to reserve this particular property after searching online for several hours, looking for just the right property for our family. We were very happy upon arriving at this lovely home! The pics and description you will see online are accurate. The home was very clean, well maintained, and had every convenience you could possibly need when staying at a home away from home. The guys enjoyed fishing in the well stocked fish pond while the ladies and kiddos enjoyed reading on the deck, watching a movie on one of the flatscreens and snacking in the well appointed kitchen. There was plenty of room for four adults and two kiddos to have our own space. The gravel driveway is easy to navigate, the property is situated in a private, quiet development about 15 minutes from Florence (where you will find lots of shopping, restaurants, etc) and you are about 30 minutes from either the Ark or Creation Museum. We found this to be a super convenient location yet we felt like we were truly away from it all when we returned home in the evenings. This property is the perfect retreat spot. We highly recommend this lovely home for your next adventure when visiting the Ark Encounter, Creation Museum or simply needing a nice place to stay near Florence, KY. Thank you to the hosts for sharing this lovely property!
The space was beautiful, very cozy and wonderful outdoor areas to relax and enjoy time as a family. It's tucked away in the woods but close enough to entertainment in the area. Thanks again!
I surprised my wife with this and when we got here, she cried. She absolutely loved it so did we the kids loved it? The pond was great just very serene. Absolutely fantastic day.
This was a wonderful retreat for our family. We had a wonderful time exploring the grounds, walking on the quiet nature-filled roads, and enjoying each other's company. Our host did a fantastic job at making us feel welcome.
We had a wonderful time at the pond and relaxing on the balcony. Kids slept great and nice kitchen facility. We loved that the cabin was surrounded by nature. Highly recommend!
We had such a wonderful stay at this cabin! Terri was incredibly responsive and helpful from start to finish — any time we had a question, we got a quick and kind reply. The cabin itself was absolutely beautiful, spotless, and perfectly decorated with so many thoughtful touches. We especially loved spending time on the back deck listening to the peaceful sound of the water fountain and pond — it was the perfect spot to relax and unwind. We couldn’t have asked for a better getaway and would definitely stay here again!
Our stay was absolutely pristine! From our sweet gift basket and hand-written card welcoming us to the cozy, warm atmosphere, we fell in love with this glimpse of heaven. There were extra pillows and blankets for each room, plenty of family board games, children's books and toys. The location was nicely tucked away, with a few neighbors nearby. We definitely hope to come again for a longer stay to enjoy more peace and tranquility.
