About this house rental

Summary:
Perched in the tranquil, countryside community of Walton, KY, this idyllic 4-bedroom home welcomes families and groups of friends alike.

The Space:
Although this stay feels private and secluded, it's only a 30-minute drive from the vibrant city of Cincinnati and the Arch, so guests can enjoy the best of both worlds.

The property boasts modern furnishings and updated fixtures, and its open concept design ensures plenty of space to relax and unwind. Outside is a multi-level deck that boasts a private pool, firepit and seating areas where you can spend hours admiring the beautiful sunset. And to top it off, you have close access to local businesses like cafes, family restaurants, pizza shops, and BBQ, as well as nearby attractions like Ark Encounter and Big Bone Lick State Park and Historic Center.

When relaxing at home, your group can spread out amongst the living room and kitchen, which are open to one another. 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.

This home sleeps 10 guests between 4 private bedrooms and a sleeper sofa in the living room.

Bedroom #1 has a king size bed.

Bedroom #2 has a king size bed.

Bedroom #3 has a queen size bed, smart tv, and desk space perfect for working from home.

Bedroom #4 has a full size bed.

THINGS TO NOTE:

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.

    We’d give the stay 1.5/5 if allowed. The home provided the essentials: clean beds and bathrooms upon arrival, a functioning air conditioner, and a refreshing pool we enjoyed daily (this is the reason for rounding up to 2/5). However, the property shows signs of neglect and needs more thorough upkeep. Cleaning appeared surface-level—crumbs remained on counters, walls were dirty, and windows were smudged from previous guests. Several furnishings were damaged, including the couch, a drawer to the master bedframe, and the entertainment center looks like it’s going to snap under the TVs weight.The outdoor area was a bigger concern. The deck had overgrown weeds, cushions unusable due to bugs, an active wasp issue (3 nests)—one guest was stung. We noticed rodent droppings in the garage and suspect rodents may be living under the deck. Parts of the fence were falling apart, and piles of scrap wood lined the side of the garage, possibly contributing to the rodent issue. One highlight was the customer service from Grand Welcome. They responded quickly and delivered requested items fast—silverware, cleaning supplies, and toilet paper. That said, if the VRBO was given proper attention, these basics should’ve been stocked before our arrival. Overall, we were grateful to receive the minimum of clean sheets, a roof over our heads, a pool, and faithful air conditioning, but for the price we paid and the quality of our experience, if we had to do it again, we would not stay here.

    We had a rain day in Florence, a day at the Ark, and a day in Lawrenceburg IN snowtubing. Location was perfect! The house fit us comfortably and the king bed downstairs was so comfortable! We got there and didn’t have dish soap or potholders. I text the number given to me and Immediately they ordered some and had them delivered within a few hours. That’s customer service.

    We had a great trip and there was plenty of room for the 6 of us. Nice, large dining table for meals and games and lots of counter space in the kitchen. Downside for us was that the "master" bedroom with an attached bathroom was in the lower level of the split level home. This room is colder than the rest of the house so that I could not put my parents in there as I had planned. They slept upstairs and shared a bathroom with my 2 teenage boys. It worked out since there were extra blankets, but you need to like a cool bedroom to be comfortable in the lower level King bedroom.

    Had a fantastic experience here. Everything was as expected.
    10.0 / 10.0
    The house was great, check in was nice and easy. I sent a text when we ran out of propane they quickly replaced it for us. The only thing I would add would be more mirrors, when you have multiple women trying to get ready it’s hard with only a bathroom mirror. Also I would add a table and chairs on the upper deck to be able to sit outside and enjoy a meal. But overall the place was amazing.
    10.0 / 10.0
    Endless hot water with maximum amount of people. Place was great and roomy with comfortable beds and soft blankets which is a plus in my book. The pool was wonderful for our teenagers and plenty of towels. Another huge plus was plenty of coffee for us coffee drinkers and the sparkle on your pics made my stay even better. Thank you for all your wonderful touches that made the place feel like home.
