About this property
The Gem Vacation Rental!
Summary:
Perched in the tranquil, countryside community of Walton, KY, this idyllic 4-bedroom home welcomes families and groups of friends alike.
The Space:
Although this stay feels private and secluded, it's only a 30-minute drive from the vibrant city of Cincinnati and the Arch, so guests can enjoy the best of both worlds.
The property boasts modern furnishings and updated fixtures, and its open concept design ensures plenty of space to relax and unwind. Outside is a multi-level deck that boasts a private pool (not-heated), firepit and seating areas where you can spend hours admiring the beautiful sunset. And to top it off, you have close access to local businesses like cafes, family restaurants, pizza shops, and BBQ, as well as nearby attractions like Ark Encounter and Big Bone Lick State Park and Historic Center.
When relaxing at home, your group can spread out amongst the living room and kitchen, which are open to one another. Kick back to enjoy a movie on the smart tv, or make use of the fully equipped kitchen to whip up a delicious meal. Guests can dine casually at the kitchen counter with barstool seating, or spend quality time over a shared meal at the dining table set for 4.
This home sleeps 10 guests between 4 private bedrooms and a sleeper sofa in the living room.
Bedroom #1 has a king size bed.
Bedroom #2 has a king size bed.
Bedroom #3 has a queen size bed, smart tv, and desk space perfect for working from home.
Bedroom #4 has a full size bed.
THINGS TO NOTE:
This home shares 2 full bathrooms.
Parking space for 2 vehicles is available in the driveway.
Washer and dryer in unit.
Pool is open seasonally - Memorial Day-labor day.
Just 30 minutes outside of Cincinnati, this is the perfect location for those seeking access to metropolitan activities while staying in a rural community with serene landscapes. This home is within easy reach of some of Cincinnati’s most popular attractions like the Bengals Stadium, Riverfront Park, and Great American Ballpark. Beyond this central area, there’s still so much more to explore. From Cincinnati’s street art revolution which has transformed neighborhoods with 180+ public murals, to its serious beer culture, revitalized historic neighborhoods with trendy shopping and dining like Over-the-Rhine, and authentic Art Deco architecture and design, this culturally diverse city is a can’t-miss destination.
Back on the Kentucky side of the river, you’re in prime Bourbon Trail territory. Check out distilleries and sipping points where you can sample Northern Kentucky’s bourbon, often paired with traditional southern foods. From Walton, you’re also within an hour of other major metropolitan centers Louisville and Lexington. Make day trips to explore these urban areas, while The Gem Vacation Rental gives you the best of both worlds with its peaceful, countryside setting.
