About the host

Hosted by Lesli Baur

Host profile image

Hi, I’m Lesli! My husband, Curt, and I are from Northern Kentucky and have always loved renovating homes and creating spaces where people feel comfortable and at home.

More recently, God opened the door for us to begin hosting short-term rentals, and we’ve really enjoyed creating a place where families can stay together, relax, and make special memories.

We’re local to the area and truly care about giving our guests a clean, comfortable, and welcoming place to stay. We hope The Ark House feels like a home away from home while you’re here and that you leave with some wonderful memories from your time in Northern Kentucky.

We’d love to host you!

Why they chose this property

We loved this area because it gives families the best of both worlds — you’re only about 5 minutes from the Ark Encounter, but you still have plenty of space to relax and enjoy some quiet time away from the crowds.

The approximately 2-acre property gives families room to spread out, play outside, and spend time together. We saw it as a great opportunity to create a comfortable and affordable home base for families visiting the Ark Encounter and exploring Northern Kentucky.

We’re grateful to be able to share it with our guests and hope you enjoy the area as much as we do!

What makes this property unique

What makes The Ark House unique is that families have plenty of room to stay, play, and spend time together, all just 5 minutes from the Ark Encounter.

The home sits on approximately 2 acres and has a large game room with air hockey, multiple bunk beds, a Solo Stove fire pit, volleyball, cornhole, Wiffle ball, kickball, and plenty of outdoor space for the kids to play.

We’ve also tried to think of the little things that make traveling with a family easier, including a fully equipped kitchen, coffee station, high chair, Pack ’n Play, extra getting-ready mirrors, washer and dryer, and plenty of parking.

More than anything, we want The Ark House to be a clean, comfortable place where families can stay together, slow down, have fun, and make great memories during their trip to Northern Kentucky.
