Log Cabin Lodge Overlooking Ohio River Near Creation Museum & Arc Encounter

This absolutely gorgeous Log Cabin Lodge is great for that special family get together or for a romantic getaway with that special person. The four bedrooms and 3 1/2 baths accommodate up to 12 persons comfortably. The spacious kitchen, dining area, and family room allows plenty of room for family gatherings. The Cabin is equipped with two laundry facilities for convenient laundering. The basement provides a bonus room finished as a large family room, and equipped with a bar and a bumper pool table.

The porch, which wraps 360 degrees around the Cabin, offers a spectacular view of 10 miles of the Ohio River. Enjoy watching boats and barges navigating the river, deer and wildlife wandering in the woods, and even an occasional airplane landing on the river. Facing the river, the porch offers a sunset bar to sit at, sip a drink and enjoy the gorgeous view.

Located in the gorgeous horse country of Kentucky, this Cabin is secluded, but within 20 minutes of the large Florence Mall in Florence, Kentucky, 40 minutes of Downtown Cincinnati, and 35 minutes from the Creation Museum and the Arc Encounter, 25 minutes of the Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport.

Family Spring Break

We were happily surprised find that the listing for four bedrooms 3 1/2 baths for this property turned out to be five bedrooms four bathrooms! One suggested place to go ended up being closed for quite a while, not a problem for us, but might be for other guests. All in all, an enjoyable location with great views of the Ohio River valley.

Short Getaway

We only stayed for 2 nights and were not in the cabin very much mostly just to sleep. The kitchen looked fully stoked if cooking while there. I will say if you have more than a few people the floors make a lot of noise making the lower level harder to sleep in if you are a light sleeper. The amenities do list hair dryer, but only one for 3 full baths so be prepared if large crowd. The view from the porch of the Ohio River was beautiful

Thanksgiving weekend

Since our new condo was not ready to move in, we needed a place for the family to have Thanksgiving weekend. The cabin is perfect. Plenty of room for everyone and a wonderful kitchen. The view is so nice but yet we were within 45 minutes of home. Made it easy for everyone to come and go. Thank you

Nice cabin

Could have been a little cleaner in some areas and air was set to 80 so we arrived at 4pm but at 1030pm it was still 78 degrees in the cabin. Had a small problem with hot water but Barry was responsive and came out that night to fix the problem. Overall, nice cabin and we had a good time.

Beautiful home and location!

The sunsets were beautiful off the deck! Plenty of space for vacationing with our young adult children. We all loved the home, the wildlife, and watching the river. We enjoyed the Ark Encounter and the Wright Patterson Air Force Museum, they were both excellent! Great communication from Barry.

Family stay

It was absolutely remote and private. We were visiting the Ark, Creation Museum and the Cincinati Zoo among others and it was conveniently located in the middle of our travels. The personal service Barry offered was above and beyond The Log cabin carried some sounds in the tri level but was excellent for our big group. The two year old was fascinated by the barges passing up and down the river.

50th Wedding Anniversary Family Ark/Creation Museum Trip

Our stay at the Jolly Cabin was a blessing as we celebrated 50 years of marriage with kids and grandkids and visited the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter. The kitchen helped us host large family meals and we had gorgeous sunsets and fires at night. The kids enjoyed the basement hangout area. The scenic, hilly, rustic drive added to the adventure and we saw deer, heard turkeys, fireflies, and lots of other wildlife from the porches/decks.

A gorgeous house with gorgeous view

The house is well kept, well furnished, and is spacious. The owner ensures you can reach him if any issues arise. There are plenty of beds for large parties. The view off the deck and the fireplace are my personal choice for the best selling points of the place.

Don’t hesitate to book!

From start to finish, this experience was a dream. The owner is so kind and was flexible with our dates when a winter storm came in. And the view! A lot of places boast an excellent view, but this ties a mountain scape view we had in Sedona. It will take you away from all your problems as you sit in serenity. You need to stay here!
