About this property

Country's Edge Near The Ark Encounter

Welcome to our place nestled in the country side. Where we hope you can spend your time relaxing, enjoying the scenery, and the abundance of wildlife. Wakeup to the sights and sounds of birds singing, sheep quietly grazing, Scottish Highland cattle calling and horses trotting on a quiet country morning. Expect to see deer grazing the property seemingly unaware of quite spectators as the sun starts to rise and burns off the morning dew. Our place is newly remodeled and ready for your stay. If you need additional space for large groups then look for our new property (Country's Edge #2 ) located directly next door to open spring 2020.

Tranquil

The home was extremely clean and the yard beautiful. Watching the cows and sheep was a bonus. Not too far from town and the lightning bugs at night were phenomenal to watch. Thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Would highly recommend.

This place was on an amazing piece of property. We enjoyed the peacefulness of the countryside without being very far from all attractions (Ark Encounter & Cincinnati). Owners were awesome! Very friendly, great communication, took extra time to show the kids their horses and answer alllllll their questions. Ha!

Short stay

I had a short stay in Kentucky and visited the Ark Encounter with my family. The house looked exactly like the pictures online. My family and I loved seeing the cows and donkeys in the field across from the residence. It was one of the best family vacations so far.

Ark Encounter visit

This property was a perfect in between place to stay while visiting the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum. The hosts raise Scottish Highland cattle. We were able to book a last-minute encounter at their barn, which was a really fun addition to our itinerary.

Perfect Location

My husband and husband’s parents stayed in this cute house to go to the Ark Encounter. We loved the property! Enjoyed quiet evenings outside at the fire pit and enjoyed visiting the farm animals across the street. Great distance to the Ark. I had a few communications with the property owner, very quick responses and very nice. The house was clean and the beds were comfortable. I’d stay again! 10/10
