About this property

The Old Home Place

The Old Home Place has the beauty of the country but only minutes from town. We are 4.2 miles from the Ark Encounter and less than an hour to The Creation museum, Cincinnati and Lexington. Our home is very peaceful, with something for all ages. The view from the back patio is stunning. We sit on 100 acres of land and there is a lot of nature to take in. A nice stroll back the ridge, or a game of pool, will offer you an enjoyable time away from home. For your convenience we have caretakers who live on the property in a separate living quarters that share no doors or locks.

The Old Home Place was recently purchased with the intent of putting my great great grandparents farm back together. If it was still standing the original farm house would be almost a century old, however the original barn is still standing. Our beautiful farm can accommodate larger groups, we are a 3 bedroom home with 1 queen bed, a full bed, and a chaise lounge, these are upstairs. Downstairs we 1 full bed, 1 roll away bed and 1 air mattress. We have 2 bathrooms one of which has a jacuzzi tub, and 2 living room areas. Our kitchen has all of your major appliances, as well as the dishes, pots and pans needed to prepare a meal. There is a Keurig with assorted coffee's and a toaster. We have a large fenced in back yard, with plenty of room for outside activities. We offer high speed internet, cable t.v., DVD player with a large selection of DVD's. Other amenities include hairdryers, ironing board and iron, linens, on site laundry, and digital alarm clocks. We also have parking that would accommodate an R.V. or boat if needed. We are sure once you arrive you will want to spend most of your time outside taking in the scenic 360 degree view of rural farm life. Feel free to email with any further questions.

Beautiful and Seren

Our family had a great time at this beautiful house. Super close to Ark and places to eat all while feeling like you’re in the middle of nowhere. Our fave was morning coffee on the deck overlooking the pond. Highly recommend this place for your next stay in Kentucky!!

Great place for a visit to the Ark

The Old Home Place was a pleasant stay, with clean rooms. We were surprised that it didn’t have bathroom toiletries and kitchen basic items, such as foil, plastic wrap, oil or spray. Mornings with coffee on the balcony offered a lovely view, and the pool table was very popular. It was a wonderful place to stay for a visit to the Ark Encounter and a reasonable distance from the Creation Museum.

Perfect for our needs

We stayed for three nights. We visited the Ark and Cincinnati Zoo. The property is in the perfect location for the attractions near by. We were 5 adults and 5 children ranging from 3 years old to 14. Everything we needed was in the house. Nothing bad to say about the host or the property.

Perfect for our group

This property fit our needs perfectly. With 4 adults and 4 children, we had plenty of room for everyone and enjoyed our stay. Clean, lots of extra blankets and bedding. The only thing to note is that the kitchen is located upstairs. We didn’t realize that from the pictures and for us it wasn’t an issue, but for someone with lots of groceries or that struggles with stairs- just something to note.

Wonderful place to come "home" to at the end of the day

We loved everything about the Old Home Place. There were enough sleeping places for all 10 of us, lots to keep everyone busy too. The kids especially liked the gumball machine, M&M dispenser and the games and coloring books. Everyone enjoyed the pool table. We had a little trouble with the internet and tvs due to an earlier storm, but the problem was responded to quickly. We went to the Ark and Creation Museum and just really enjoyed our stay, way more than if we had stayed at a hotel. Thank you!

Trip to Ark

We had a pleasant stay. Would had been better if there wasn't a Japanese bettle invasion occuring. Property is great. Location is really close to Ark. Not much else in town. It is a farm house. Only othere issue we had is there is attached home with access to the property you stay in. You should probably list that.

Torrey Party of 10

This worked out perfectly for us as we had a 3 day conference at the Ark Encounter and also had some extended family members tagging along for the fun! Fully equipped kitchen, plenty of beds to sleep on, and a great place to relax after a long day of exploring, networking, and learning. The children loved the open spaces to play and run and also having extra space to hang out! All around beautiful and great place to stay!

We loved our stay

This property is awesome. It was a perfect choice for us. It is so quiet and pretty outside sitting on the deck. Inside is very clean and comfortable as well. The pool table was everyone’s favorite part. We really enjoyed playing. Only thing I would have done differently is if you have little kids like us is bring a baby gate for the stairs!

Great location, clean, relaxing

My family and I stayed here so we could go to the Ark Encounter. The house was wonderful, very clean, quiet and less than 10 mins from the Ark. The kids loved taking baths in the jacuzzi tub, the beds were comfortable and it was nice to end the night with a game of pool. We would definitely come back again, highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Eric Landrum

Host profile image
I am a lifelong resident of Grant county, I graduated from Williamstown High School. At the age of 5 (1994) my family was in a car accident which left me paralyzed from the neck down and dependent upon a ventilator to breathe. Although I have face many challenges I have not allowed this to define me. I am an active member at community events Having lived here my whole lifeI feel that I am qualified to answer most questions you may have. I also may know of some unique activities that may being going on while your in town.

Why they chose this property

This 100 acre property belonged to my great great grandparents. They had originally had 400 acres that were divided up into 100 acre tracts. My mother purchased one piece 20 years ago and I still live on that piece today. The farm I just purchased had been bought from the estate in 2008 to a non family member. When they had the opportunity this past year to purchase a bigger farm they offered my family this piece back since it had been in our family for so long. I jumped at the opportunity. The previous owners built the house that is currently on the property, however the original barn built in 1919 is still standing. Although the property has sentimental value to me I believe it offers breath taking views.

What makes this property unique

The Old Home Place not only offers a beautiful setting but all the modern conveniences that any hotel . Caretakers live on the property, to quickly solve any issues that may arise.
