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.)
TWO OTHER CABINS AFTER THIS ONE ARE ALSO AVAILABLE FOR BOOKING: Cabin 2 https://www.vrbo.com/3496570 Cabin 3 (Hot Tub) https://www.vrbo.com/4844294?dateless=true
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!

The cabin was exactly as described. Very clean, had everything we needed. Owner was a great guy, so accommodating. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to friends.
We enjoyed our “road trip get away” to Dry Ridge. Comfortable bed, cozy cabin. We felt privileged to see two ground hogs as we arrived. Also plenty deer at a distance and some rabbits. Grab a club sandwich from Beans Cafe. Visited the Ark Encounter. We hope to stay again some time.
Our family of 7 truly enjoyed our stay here! We loved the location, there was a place to sleep for everyone. It was very clean and a perfect place for a little r and r after our trip to the Ark Encounter. We would come back again!
Beautiful, quaint little cabin in a neat location. Easy drive to many places that we wanted to see while we were there. Host was very responsive and everything was detailed to make for easy getting in and out.
Was very pleased with the stay. Quiet and had a great view of the country side. The host was very friendly and helpful with any questions that we had. Looking forward to going back next year.
What a cute little cabin! It’s very conveniently located a mile from town. It was quiet and clean. We had everything we needed and the kids thought the loft space was fun. The price was great. We would stay here again.
This cabin was very clean and perfect for our weekend stay. The kids loved sleeping in the loft. My 9 year old son wanted to make sure I give it a five star review as he absolutely loved it!
The cabin was the perfect size for the 3 of us! It was absolutely immaculate and had everything we needed including amazing views. It was so peaceful and relaxing!!
Our overall stay was wonderful!! All accommodations were met. Everything we needed was provided. The location was very cool! My boys enjoyed the lay out! Definitely liked to check it out in the warmer months and go fishing!
The area was very quiet only minutes to the Ark. The boys loved the loft. It had everything we needed, We even cooked a few meals. Would stay there again
