The Ark Encounter Retreat

Summary:
A vacation to Walton immerses you in a tranquil haven of scenic beauty and small-town charm. Nestled in Northern Kentucky, this 3-bedroom home aptly named Ark Encounter Retreat offers a peaceful getaway with its quiet streets and serene country surroundings, while remaining just a short drive from top regional attractions. You’ll be hard-pressed to find a more ideal balance of relaxation and easy access to unforgettable adventures!

The Space:
As the name suggests, one of the must-see destinations in the area is the Ark Encounter—a life-size replica of Noah’s Ark! This jaw-dropping structure, less than 30 minutes to the south, brings ancient history to life and offers interactive exhibits, live animals, and even zip-lining adventures. An equal drive to the north will take you to the renowned Creation Museum, where you'll journey through exhibits that explore the story of creation with immersive displays, botanical gardens, a planetarium, and petting zoos.

When you’re ready to check out life in the big city, Cincinnati is less than a half hour drive north where you can catch a sports game, visit a historical museum, book a tasting at a bourbon distillery, shop to your heart’s content, or plan evening meal at one of the eclectic local restaurants. If you prefer to stay a little more local, the city of Florence is the perfect in-between compromise, only 20 minutes from the home and offering its own desirable selection of shopping and dining.

The home will serve as a haven for relaxation between exciting adventures, with spaces both indoors and out that will maximize your downtime and connection with loved ones. Take your morning coffee from the breezy back deck, admiring the views of the neighborhood while you begin to make your list of plans for the day ahead. As the sun sets, gather around the firepit to toast up a round of tasty treats while you search for constellations in the vast night sky.

Indoors, tall ceilings accentuate open spaces expertly curated with comfortable furnishings and chic décor. Sink into plush sofa and armchair seating in the living room, streaming all your favorite shows and movies on the smart TV. You won’t be far from the action even while preparing meals in the kitchen, outfitted with stainless steel appliances alongside ample countertop space and cabinetry for preparation and storage. Take formal meals at the table with seating for 6 or snag a high-top stool at the island for more quick and casual bites.

If you find yourself with energy yet to burn, head to the garage-converted game room to enjoy hours of friendly competition between the Pop-A-Shot basketball game and ping pong table. Back inside, a den on the lower level offers a more secluded experience for enjoying your preferred shows and movies or simply turning the pages of a good book, while the dedicated workspace will help you keep up with calls and emails in peace.

This home sleeps up to 6 guests between 6 private bedrooms.

Bedroom #1 includes a full size bed.

Bedroom #2 includes a queen size bed.

Bedroom #3 includes a queen size bed and ensuite bathroom with a single vanity and shower/tub combo.

The home also includes a half bathroom and an additional full guest bathroom with a single vanity and shower/tub combo.

THINGS TO NOTE:
• Washer and dryer in home.
• Driveway and street parking available for 3 vehicles.
• This home is equipped with one (1) external Ring security camera, located on the front door and actively monitoring the walkway into the home as well as a partial view of the street and driveway.

Less than 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 home gives you the best of both worlds with its peaceful, countryside setting.

Clean, decent location, but not worth the price

The house was clean and the location was perfect for where we needed. That being said the check in process is strange. I’ve booked tons of houses through VRBO and others like them and have never had to send ID and register through a separate site. The beds were awful and there was no hot water.
