About this farm stay rental

The Grey Dog Inn | Luxury Farmhouse Retreat on 12 Private Acres
Step into high-end comfort at this beautifully renovated 1,800 sq ft farmhouse, where luxury meets laid-back country living. Nestled on 12 scenic acres with a stocked pond, trickling fountains, and birdsong in the air, it’s the perfect setting to unplug and unwind.

Inside, you’ll be treated to adjustable beds with built-in massage features, ultra-soft bamboo sheets, and Casaluna luxury bath linens that elevate your stay from relaxing to rejuvenating. Every detail has been thoughtfully curated for your comfort.

Guests enjoy private use of the entire first floor with a separate entrance and a locked interior door ensuring total privacy from the homeowner’s apartment below. Everything shown in the listing photos is yours to enjoy.

Accessibility is effortless with just three small exterior steps: one onto the front porch, one into the home, and one to the back deck. Inside, everything is on one level.

Outside, sip your morning coffee to the sound of fountains on the shaded front porch, unwind on the spacious back deck, or stargaze by the crackling fire pit. The setting is peaceful, and the pace is slow—just the way a country escape should be.

The homeowner lives on-site with a few friendly dogs who are quiet, supervised, and confined to a fenced area. Think of your host as a nearby neighbor—there to welcome you, then happy to give you space.

Located just 25 minutes from the Ark Encounter and the Creation Museum, you’re also a short drive from Rabbit Hash, Big Bone Lick, and the Cincinnati Zoo.

Message with any questions—I’m quick to respond and happy to help you plan your perfect getaway.

Everything was perfect! Clair is a wonderful host! Best ever! Everything was spotless. Fully equipped. Clair provided everything we needed. I would definitely recommend this beautiful home to everyone. Very relaxing and wonderful time here. Thank you so much to Clair!

We cannot say enough on how fabulous this Farmhouse was. The host, Clair was exceptional! She greeted us upon arrival and made sure we had everything necessary to accommodate our needs. Clair exceeded our requests for my disability effecting my stability and walking with the use of aids making the whole Farmhouse accessible. Her place was extremely relaxing, clean, and comfortable. The kitchen was great for preparing your own meals. Her place is equal distance from the Creation Museum and the Ark for visitors planning their vacation around these amazing destinations. There was ample room to maneuver for those with challenges walking and the whole farmhouse inside and out was user friendly and safe. The deck areas were comfortable and inviting daytime and evening. A week was not enough! We stayed 8 nights and once it is over you are ready to stay longer and completely enjoy the solitude and absorb the beauty of the Farmhouse and property for another week. Clair was easily available and a charming person to converse with. She has some very well behaved long-haired Weimaraner’s that are fun to watch play and roam in a separate fenced area on her property. We would definitely stay at her farmhouse again should we travel to the northern part of Kentucky.

The property and accommodations were over the top spectacular! Clair is an excellent hostess and made sure that our stay was THE best! We would highly recommend staying there. And the property is literally half way between the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter which was our purpose for staying.

Neither the pictures nor the description do this beautiful home, property and host justice. Everything is immaculate with this host paying attention to detail in a way that far exceeds most! We especially enjoyed the back deck with the ambient lighting and plush seating. My husband and I HIGHLY recommend this place!

This was hands down the best experience I've ever had at a short-term rental property. The owner was VERY customer attentive from booking, through arrival instructions to greeting us at the door to guiding us on a quick tour of the property features/amenities. She lives downstairs, so she is close by for any questions/needs . . . but you never see/hear her or her dogs (she's a breeder) except when needed. I was a bit skeptical about how the setup would work --- but it was flawless! The house is not only has incredible finishes and tasteful design, but I was amazed at how the owner seemed to have thought of everything! For example, light switches labeled tastefully, towels were high quality, adjustable beds, etc. Everything was high quality. Highly recommend this property. If we come back to visit the Ark Encounter again.....we'll be staying here!

The home was charming and the patio was nicely furnished and very inviting. Since one of us was flying in from out-of-state the owner was accommodating to our check-in. The area was quiet but easy to find. I would definitely recommend this home for a relaxing stay.

The property was even better than depicted online. Beautifully renovated with top-notch appliances and finishes. Spotlessly clean and well appointed with everything we could possibly need. Clair was very helpful with restaurant suggestions and easy to work with. The back deck was relaxing and a perfect way to spend the evening watching the sun set. Great location for our adventures to the creation museum and the ark experience. We highly recommend this property and plan to return.

If you need a place to stay in Northern Kentucky, this is it. We had a group of 6 and this place was perfect. Easy to find. Easy access to other locations. The host has provided everything; I mean everything. Kitchen is fully stocked. Bathrooms have extra toiletries. The house is well equipped. The area is beautiful. The deck out back is super with comfortable furniture and great outdoor table. Views are wonderful. The beds were fantastic - better than any hotel I have ever stayed at. Clair has four dogs on the property but they were never a bother and our son enjoyed playing with them. They are beautiful and separated from the guests unless you make the effort to see them. We would stay here in a heartbeat.

We had a wonderful time staying in this home. It is located in Kentucky where we could easily have access to the freeway for day trips. The owner is very friendly and hospitable and the 12 acres provided a restful vacation. The house is equipped with a full functional kitchen and relaxing covered deck. I would highly recommend it.

The absolutely perfect VRBO rental!!! We could not have asked for a better property and host for our trip to visit the Ark and Creation Museum in Kentucky!!! It is a gorgeous, immaculately kept property that looks exactly like the pictures, is centrally located and super easy to get to, and Clair goes out of her way to make sure you are well-informed, taken care of, and enjoy your stay :) Highly recommend this rental!!!

This was a wonderful experience at a beautiful home in a gorgeous country setting. The rooms and seating were friendly and the beds comfortable. We especially enjoyed the spacious deck in the afternoon. We took walks along the country road and all the neighbors who were outside waved and said hi. We highly recommend this vrbo to anyone who enjoys comfort and relaxation in a beautiful country environment.

10.0 / 10.0

We had such a wonderful time at this VRBO! It is the fanciest VRBO we have ever stayed!! There wasn't a spot of dust anywhere! All the appliances were new and spotless! Coffee, tea, spices, TP, toweling, and so much more were furnished by Clair. Clair was a FANTASTIC Hostess! She greeted us upon arrival, gave us a walkthrough of her beautiful home and bid us farewell. Her last words to us were to enjoy EVERYTHING, use EVERYTHING, and let her know if there were any further questions or concerns. She instantly responded to questions that we had throughout our stay! We settled into our luxurious beds, (adjustable, heated, and even had massage functions available) and fell into a wonderful night's rest! Tuesday we visited the Creation Museum which was 25 minutes away. This was an excellent museum! Wednesday we had a very nice Rest Day-and celebrated my 53rd Birthday! My husband and dad fished in her pond and my mom and I found a Starbucks nearby and enjoyed a free Birthday drink. For dinner we grilled out on Clair's grill and enjoyed the beauty of the surroundings! On Thursday we enjoyed visiting the Arc Encounter! What an incredible place to visit! This, too, was just 25 minutes from her home. Friday we rested and Saturday we drove home. Thank you, Clair, for making this trip so special! We look forward to visiting you again!!!

We stayed for 6 new nights and it was lovely home away from home experience. The beds were very comfortable and sheets were fresh and clean. Cleanliness was top priority and it was evident in this Vrbo. Relaxing, private, along with beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Clair beautiful dogs were no bother and they are so quite. I had an emergency back home and had to leave the family a few days early and Clair offered me a free ride to the airport which was truly a blessing in such short notice. I would definitely recommend staying here and will stay here again if ever back in the area. Thanks Clair for being an awesome host. Blessings to you and your household.

The property and hostess, Claire, were wonderful. The property rests on 17 acres of land and there was lots of space to roam around. Inside, is a meticulously decorated three bedroom, 2 1/2 bathroom home that was very relaxing and functional. Claire greeted us and oriented us to the house. It was cozy, yet there were plenty of areas to get alone. Although the property is set in the country, it is conveniently located to the Ark Museum and Florence, KY where there are many restaurants. My friends and I highly recommend this stay.

The host Claire was great on the check in to show us everything on the property. One will notice right from the start, the level of cleanliness is much appreciated. We most enjoyed the back deck in the evenings just sitting with a glass of wine and catching up with friends from years past. This place was well inventoried in the kitchen. Everything you need is there.

The Best Place with the Best Host

From the check-in to leaving, the stay was Fantastic. The Host gave us an amazing tour and was so kind for anything we needed on our stay! House was stock for everything we needed and more, and was so organized and relaxing to enjoy on our vacation. The outdoor areas were beautiful, well kept, and definitely made it feel like home away from home. It is so updated and has all the top notch beds, appliances, and bathrooms. The location is perfect to stay away from the craziness of the city, but close enough that shops and restaurants are only a short drive away. The host gave us a great recommendation for places near us for food and to visit. She definitely takes care of the place and makes it special for every guest. Loved this house and definitely will return again next year for our family vacation!

Everything was magnificent! My wife and I met with 2 of her friends from Kansas, and needed a place near the Creation Museum and the Ark ( thus the title). "The Grey Dog Inn" fit the bill perfectly. It was clean, with excellent sleeping quarters and every kitchen accouterment anyone would want. There is a grocery store within 5 miles, in a shopping center with a wide variety of attractions. There is a wonderful deck with a BBQ grill, and comfortable lounge chairs.

Beautiful Relaxing Getaway

Beautiful Relaxing Getaway

This home was beautifully decorated and in a great location. It was quiet and clean. On the upside, it had a nice large kitchen and gorgeous view from the dining room table. There were also great areas to sit on the porch and in the back yard but unfortunately it rained a lot that weekend. It had a handheld shower faucet, double sinks (yeah!) and a nice tub. On the downside, it’s mandatory that you either leave access to a size able deposit or purchase insurance which drove the price up to over 400 dollars a night. I’ve never had to do this before so I was insulted and annoyed HOWEVER I do understand because we use to own a luxury cabin and everything inside was over time destroyed or stolen. (The appliances and kitchen supplies were top of the line in this house so I understand why she wanted insurance) We also struggled with the plumbing in the master bathroom-my husband plunged a lot. The bed was very firm and the pillows very soft. We have the opposite at home and I wish I had remembered to bring my own pillow. We were visiting Taylor Mill Kentucky so it was the perfect location. We had a really enjoyable two days and are thankful this wonderful home was available for rent. Thanks for having us!

Wonderful country home, convenient to everything!

Wonderful country home, convenient to everything!

We booked this for a visit to see family in nearby Union, KY. We were fortunate to find anything with such short notice let alone something so perfect for our situation! The house was even nicer than in pictures online. We were able to bring our dog, the kids loved the walking trails where we saw tons of butterflies and wildflowers. The weather was hot so we didn’t spend much time on the deck but it was comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked, the beds were luxurious and the location was perfect…just 10 minutes to our Son’s house. Claire was a great host!
