Our family of 5 had a wonderful stay at Holler Ridge Farms! The home was clean, cozy, and our kids loved the barn with toys and the bunnies and the cattle in the pasture. We will be staying at this property anytime we are in the surrounding area. Holly and her family are wonferful people and we feel blessed to have stayed at their property!

We visited the creations museum and then visted the Ark. We stayed over night at this charming place. The kids lived the bunnies and the barn had games in it. At night we rocked on the porch and watched the fireflies.

What a neat property! Holly was a very attentive and kind host. The house had everything we needed; our kids absolutely loved seeing the rabbits and the cattle and even got to feed to cows. The barn area with the games was also a neat touch. Outside of the winding roads, it’s an easy drive to the Ark. The only downside is that the front bedroom is very close to the road which made us a little nervous for the kids to sleep in it, but otherwise this was a perfect stay!

We had a wonderful time staying in this cabin. The sunrises and sunsets were breathtaking. We enjoyed spending time in the barn area as a family playing the many games that were set up in there. Our kids loved checking on the bunnies each day and getting to pet the friendly cows. Holly and her family were delightful and allowed us to fish on their property. We were within 15 minutes of the ark, which was our main reason for coming to Kentucky. We were also within an hour of Cincinnati, Ohio and we were able to make the hike to that area as well to the Natural History Museum. It was so nice to come back to a clean, cozy cabin that had all of the comforts of home.
