About this house rental

Summary:
Visitors to this area will undoubtedly want to pay a visit to the Ark Encounter, a one-of-a-kind biblical themed attraction that you simply have to see to believe and just 15 minutes from the home.

The Space:
Close enough to enjoy all the excitement of Cincinnati city, yet far enough to relish in the privacy and seclusion of the Kentucky countryside; this 4-bedroom home in cozy Crittenden is truly the best of both worlds! Cincinnati proper 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. Located in a quiet neighborhood, this home can accommodate travelers of all ages, well-suited for both groups and families.

The comfortable interior has been curated specifically for your ultimate satisfaction and relaxation. The family room on the main level includes plush sofa seating and a smart TV where you never have to worry about missing an episode of your favorite show. The open floor plan carries you to the kitchen and dining areas creating an airy space perfect for entertaining. An elegant dining room table can accommodate seating for 8 for your formal meals, or seat 2 at the kitchen counter for more casual fare. The kitchen is fully equipped with stainless steel appliances, Keurig drip and single serve coffee maker, cookware, and dinnerware.

On the lower level you’ll find even more space to spread out, with a living space inclusive of ample sofa seating, mounted TV, and electric fireplace. A second dining table can seat 6, suitable for mealtime overflow or to host a rousing night of games. Looking to flex your ping pong skills? You’re in luck! The included table will fill hours of fun challenging one another to friendly games. After working up a sweat, head back upstairs and out to the back deck and take in some of that fresh Kentucky air, enjoying a nightcap under the stars while lounging on the outdoor sofa set.

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.

    We took our family on a trip to visit both the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum. The location and accommodations were fantastic! The kitchen was fully stocked, and both the furniture and beds were comfortable.The kids loved having their own space downstairs, including the ping-pong table and hot tub. The owner responded quickly if we had any needs or questions.

    We stayed 3 nights for a girls getaway. The house was beautifully furnished and just as pictured. It was spotlessly clean. The kitchen was well stocked. We were very comfortable there. We enjoyed the hot tub as well. Would definitely stay again.

    Our family of eight stayed here to visit the Ark. The place feels so big because of the two levels. Everyone had all the room they needed and more for sleeping and for their belongings. The kids loved the hot tub and developed a new obsession with ping-pong. We found everything to be well appointed; kitchen and bath items were better stocked than your typical Vrbo. I personally appreciated the double-sided coffee pot because my family brought ground coffee I didn’t like but I was able to make pods whenever I wanted! I would have loved a toddler stepstool for the bathroom. The area and neighborhood are nice. We would definitely stay here again.
