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.

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.

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.
