Country Cottage

We had a wonderful stay. Not only is the cottage adorable; It is in a wonderful location and close to the Ark Encounter. The views were outstanding. The cottage was very well appointed and had everything we needed. The owner takes great pride in their rental. It was extremely clean and very comfortable. We would not hesitate to stay there again if ever in the area.

Excellent place!

The house was so clean, had everything we needed and the property was so peaceful and serene. A mother deer and her fawn even came out to say "hi" as I sat on the porch in the evening.

This rental is perfect if you’re looking for a peaceful stay. The porch overlooks hills, there is a great view of the sunset, and cows are mooing in the background. The house itself is very clean and has everything you need. The host is excellent at communication and provides a list of things to do in the area and places to eat.

We had an amazing experience staying at the Swiss Hills Cottage with my wife and two boys. Shelley and her family provided everything we needed and went above and beyond to make us feel like we were at home. The cottage is in an excellent location and so close to the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum. Plus, it’s on their beautiful farm which they take care of very well. Also, don’t forget to try some of Oakley’s famous cinnamon rolls! Hand delivered to your front door too. We’ll recommend this cottage to everyone and look forward to going back again.

Absolutely Wonderful

Our stay was absolutely wonderful, so quiet and peaceful sitting out on the porch or by the firepit. We enjoyed our time so much, perfect for a nice little get away for a couple or small family. The hosts son has a small side business making homemade cinnamon rolls, we ordered a couple and they were so delicious. A big thank you to the family for sharing their property with us.

Awesome!!!

We stayed 4th of July weekend. We had a very peaceful and private stay. The country scenery was picturesque. The house had just enough room and was perfect for a older couple. We spent a lot of time on the porch just enjoying the sights and sounds of nature. We also got the benefit of watching fire works beyond the tree ridge. We spent the last night at a dinner cruise on the Ohio River cruising Cincinnati on one side and Kentucky on the other. The cinammon roles were delivered to our door from Shelleys 9 yr old son Oakley which were so good! A perfect 4th of July getaway.

About the host

Hosted by Shelley Colson

Shelley and her husband Matt have dreamed for years of owning their own rental property. It’s amazing to see it finally come to life here on our beautiful farm in Northern Kentucky. Our house name, Swiss Hills Cottage, honors the heritage of this land, home to Brown Swiss dairy cows since 1994. Matt’s parents still have a raw milk dairy operation on the farm to this day. In the fall, we also host the popular Country Pumpkins Fall Festival complete with u-pick pumpkins, hayrides, corn maze, petting zoo, and more.
