About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Pool | Hot Tub | Game Room | Fire Pit | Playground

Summary:

Seven bedrooms, five bathrooms, 16 guests — and the Ark Encounter five minutes down the road. That's the setup. But what makes this place is the moment you step out back and realize the private pool, hot tub, and fire pit are all waiting, with rolling Kentucky hills stretching out behind them. No checkout line for the pool. No waiting for the hot tub. Your whole family at full capacity, at your own pace, on your own 14 acres.



The Space:

ABOUT THIS SPACE



Your group of 16 has seven private bedrooms spread across three floors — king suites, a queen room, and queen bunk beds so everyone from grandparents to little kids has a space that actually fits.



First Floor:

• Master Suite — king bed, walk-in shower, soaking tub, private ensuite. The trip organizer claims this one.



Second Floor:

• King Bedroom 1 — king bed, shared hallway bath with tub and shower

• King Bedroom 2 — king bed, same shared bath

• King Bedroom 3 — king bed, same shared bath

• Queen Bedroom — queen bed, shared bath



Basement:

• Basement King Suite — king bed, private walk-in shower ensuite, quietest room in the home.

• Bunk Room — two sets of queen-over-queen bunk beds, private ensuite with walk-in shower. The kids settle the top-bunk debate in about 30 seconds.



Five full bathrooms means no morning traffic jams. Each floor is self-contained.



The main floor opens wide — kitchen, dining, and living room flow together so 16 people can share a meal without splitting into shifts. The kitchen has full stainless appliances, granite countertops, a large island with four bar stools, and everything needed to cook for a crowd. Dining table seats eight comfortably. The living room anchors the space with a gas fireplace and enough seating for the whole group.



Downstairs, the basement game room changes the energy: ping pong table, board games, a 75" TV with PlayStation 5. Kids disappear into it at 9pm and adults follow by 10. A second lounge area in the basement is there for anyone who wants something quieter.



Washer and dryer on-site — essential for groups staying multiple nights.



LOCATION AND WHAT'S NEARBY



You're in Williamstown, Kentucky — about 40 miles south of Cincinnati, in the rolling hills of Grant County.



• Ark Encounter — 5 minutes (2.3 miles). Full-scale Noah's Ark, 510 feet long. Plan 3-5 hours; buy tickets in advance for peak summer dates.

• Creation Museum — 35 minutes via I-75 North. Pairs naturally with the Ark as a two-day itinerary.

• Downtown Cincinnati — 45 minutes north. Findlay Market, the Cincinnati Art Museum (free), Smale Riverfront Park.

• Kentucky Bourbon Trail — Buffalo Trace in Frankfort (50 min), Wild Turkey and Four Roses in Lawrenceburg (40 min).

• Big Bone Lick State Historic Site — 25 minutes northwest. Fossil beds, live bison herd, and prehistory that's actually interesting for kids.

• Williamstown Lake — 10 minutes. Swimming, fishing, kayaking in summer.

• General Butler State Resort Park — 25 minutes east. Golf, lake swimming, hiking, on-site restaurant.



WHO THIS HOME IS BEST FOR



Multi-generational families — grandparents on the first floor with the master suite, parents upstairs, kids in the basement bunk room. Everyone has their own floor; everyone ends up at the fire pit at 9pm.



Church groups and ministry trips — the Ark Encounter is five minutes away. This property has hosted multiple faith-based family groups and is built for the schedule: daytime at the venue, evenings back at the pool.



Large friend groups — the outdoor stack (pool, hot tub, fire pit, outdoor lounge) is built for socializing. Add the open-concept main floor and the game room and you have 16 people busy all weekend without splitting up.



Sports travel groups — Cincinnati is 45 minutes north for Reds games, Bengals games, and UC events. Free parking for 8 vehicles on-site.



Parents planning milestone trips — birthday weekends, graduation getaways, end-of-year blowouts. Pool, game room with PS5, playground, and the Ark five minutes away makes this an easy yes for any age.



⭐ 5 Star Reviews from our past guests:



"The place was private, beautiful and peaceful. We came up to see the Ark with 10 family members and it was by far the best place to stay. The kids are ready to go back; they enjoyed swimming, ping pong, basketball and the playground. It was a quiet magical space. I was impressed it looked like the photos, was clean and comfortable. If you had a question, they always answered in a timely manner. Great experience! Thank you!!" - Christina



"The place was amazing. Just like the add had listed. Our family was very happy with the home. Everyone had a great time and the amenities were great. The grandkids loved the playground and all the games in the game room. Also, Seth was very responsive and helpful. He was a great host. We will look to stay again in the future." - Michael



"Beautiful home with plenty of room for our families. Very private setting and great outdoor spaces with nice views of the hills. We thoroughly enjoyed the pool, hot tub, and fire pit. Very kid friendly home and location. Check in/out was a breeze and the host answered all of our questions promptly. The house was well stocked. We definitely recommend staying here." - Sarah

Peaceful Relaxation

We had a great stay at this property with 8 adults and 7 kids. The rooms and beds were all very clean. The kitchen was equipped with beautiful pots and pans and basic cooking utensils. And the pool and fire pit outside were accompanied by gorgeous Kentucky views.

A great stay!

We were looking for a large house to bring our family together to celebrate my mother's 70th birthday (7 adults and 8 kids of various ages). This house was perfect, and Seth was a very welcoming property manager. The property was beautiful, the amenities were exactly as described, and the pool was perfect for children. My kids especially loved the arcade games in the basement. We would certianly recommend this property to others!

Great amenities and space really didn’t leave the house. Only misses for this property are the little details. Garbage from last guest filled 3 of the 4 trash bins and never got picked up, weeds growing through the fence into the pool, and other minor details that just need maintenance. We loved our stay and would return.

The house was beautiful and clean, setting was stunning, and the host was an excellent communicator. There are a few things worth noting that we were unaware of when booking. We would stay again despite these things, but would prepare differently. 1. We thought this would be a beautiful place to take walks, but instructions in the home explicitly prohibit walks along the driveway for neighbor privacy. 2. The pool is only 4ft deep at the deepest, this was disappointing for the older kids. 3. The house is bare bones in terms of amenities, there weren't any board games, cards, etc. highly limited supply of consumables, not even bedding or blankets. 4. There are train tracks, in the distance, but are visible and audible from the house and run nearly constantly. We didn't mind, but would be good to know. 5. You will hear every single footstep and conversation from the main level to the basement. Do not put your light sleepers down there.

Ark visit

The property was beautiful. Our stay was very pleasant and comfortable. We enjoyed the proximity to our planned event (visiting the Ark Encounter) and loved all the activities available at the house. The host, Seth, was very responsive to any of our inquiries and made the entire process from checking in to checking out seamless. We would definitely recommend this property with 5 stars!

Amazing!

We were blown away by everything about this rental. From Seth, the property manager, to the cleanliness and amenities of the home. We had kids ranging from 5-14 and they all loved the game room and the queen sized bunk beds. The adults loved the kids space / adults space! We made six great memories doing s’mores outside on the fire pit under a blanket of stars ! One of our most favorite homes to stay in through VRBO yet.

Wow! This property was perfect for our large family. We enjoyed all the features. The pool was just right- not too deep for our young ones. The hot tub was handy, the fire pit was delightful (we appreciated the provided wood), the kitchen was well stocked (we did have to purchase a pitcher for water fyi), and the rooms were well appointed and comfortable. The outdoor seating areas were nice since we all didn't fit at the dining room table. The littles loved the playground. We did have a problem on the last day, which the hosts were very responsive to. We loved the setting on a private road in the Kentucky hills.

Family trip to the Ark Encounter

Overall a great place to stay, close to the Ark Encounter. Upon arrival the property was not wheelchair accessible like advertised. After traveling 13 hrs my father in law was not able to get in the house in his electric wheelchair. After messaging the host he immediately tried to come up with a solution. He ordered a ramp but wasn't deli vered until 2 days later. We got wood cut from nearby to getus by until then..ess

Perfect Home for our Large Family

This is one of the best homes that we have ever stayed in! The home was spacious enough to comfortably accommodate our group of 16, and its proximity to the Ark Encounter made it incredibly convenient for our plans. Our kids were excited about the pool, and we didn’t want to leave! We created so many wonderful memories around the fire pit in the evenings, and the views were simply breathtaking. The basement was a highlight for the kids; they hardly ever left! The variety of games kept them entertained, and the PlayStation 5 was a huge hit with our teenagers. The bunk room was perfect for the younger ones as well. The setting of the home on 10+ peaceful acres was quiet and serene. Overall, it was an unforgettable stay, and we will recommend this home to others in our church who want to visit the Ark Encounter.

Perfect family home for Ark long weekend

We stayed at this home for 4 days (with 3 generations!) to visit the Ark and the Creation Museum. The location is on a small dirt road, but this makes for extreme privacy that was absolutely ideal for our family! The home is large and beautiful. Every bedroom is decorated beautifully and is cozy. We enjoyed beautiful sunrises and sunsets with coffee - the Keurig makes a pot or a cup! Main floor bedroom was ideal for parents or in our case was wonderful for a 96 year old with mobility issues. Master bed has a crib in a huge walk in closet. Basement also has a second master, plus a fun bunk bed room, an extremely fun game area that we used a ton with playstation, arcade games, basketball, ping pong and fooseball. We had a really enjoyable bonfire - house has firewood and smores supplies including smores sticks. Kids also really enjoyed the hot tub and pool (despite the cold weather they still used and loved the pool.) Yard also has a swingset and they maintain a huge portion of the yard which was helpful with morning walks with our dogs. I appreciated that they were so welcoming to our 2 small dogs! Outside seating is amazing because you can move around to enjoy sunsets or sunrises. Kids also loved a ring hook game outside while adults visited. Kitchen was incredibly well organized and labeled so we didn't have to look for a single thing. House was also well stocked with towels which was so nice. It has two washers and two dryers! Very responsive hosts!
