Timber Frame Country Retreat. Close to Ark Encounter, Creation Museum and Cincy

Do you like the Rustic and Romantic appeal of a beautiful cabin tucked back in the woods but want all the comforts of being close to Everything? Well, you have just found it. If you're an early riser get your coffee and grab a seat on the deck and watch the woods wake up as the sun rises. There are three fire pits for your evening enjoyment, one located on the main patio, one located behind the garage area with swings, and one at the pond. The home is 35 minutes from the Ark Encounter & 25 minutes to the Creation Museum. A short drive to Ohio or Indiana. Also 25 minutes away from CVG, if you are taking a flight into the area.
The space
The upper level has an open floor plan. There are two bedrooms and one full bathroom as well as kitchen, dining room and living room. One bedroom has a queen bed and the other has a full. If additional room is needed, we offer a queen sofa sleeper in the living room. There is also a 58" smart tv in the living room that is also viewable from the kitchen and Dining room. Down the spiral staircase is the lower level where there is another bedroom with a queen bed and a bonus room with a queen bed. Also, there is a laundry room with a washer and dryer for your laundry needs. The family room has another 58" smart tv and just off of the family room is a space set up as an Office/work area that has a great view of the pond and fountain. The smart tv's are connected to the internet so you can stream from your personal accounts.
If you choose to dine out, you will be a short drive from countless restaurants.
Shopping is also a short drive away.
Guest access
You will have free run of the house minus a closet in the bonus room and the detached garage.
Other things to note
Although you will self-check in with the smart lock, if my husband or I are available we will try to greet you and give you a tour to answer any questions.

Loved our 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!

Everything we were looking for!
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!

Great retreat!
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!

Creation Museum & Arc Encounter Visit
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!

Perfect family vacation spot!
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!

Picturesque Perfection
We had a wonderful stay here. Thank you so much for letting us rent this retreat. We loved the atmosphere. The scenery was very picturesque. We initially had plans to visit other area attractions, but quickly changed our plans to spend a couple days relaxing in the beautiful scenery and enjoying all the activities at the retreat! The whole family had a blast fishing! The paddle boat was also a hit. The fire pits were perfect for making s'mores. This place truly felt like a home away from home!
