About this property
Tranquil 12-Acre Luxury Farmhouse Between The Ark & Creation Museum
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.

This property was immaculate and so welcoming and cozy! Clair has made sure you have the best of everything while you stay. She is an amazing host and super sweet! Both me and my husband agreed we would definitely stay here again! Would give it 10 stars if I could!
We had a wonderful and relaxing stay at this beautiful home. The addition to every detail by the host was above and beyond! The location was perfect for our adventures and we would definitely return to this property for another stay when we are in the area. Thank you Clair for sharing your home with us!
Our Host could have not been kinder and more accommodating. The property was beautiful, the setting serene and the location perfect for our Ark and Creation Museum visit. Although surrounded by rural beauty, civilization (Kroger, Urgent Care, etc) was only a short drive away. If/when we return to this area, we would definitely book another stay at this property. If there were a rating above excellent, this host and her beautiful property would earn it!
We felt spoiled from the minute we pulled into the driveway. This is an amazing location and an awesome host. Everything was taken care of and beautiful. Do not hesitate to choose this property, you will not be disappointed.
Clair, our Host, is absolutely wonderful. My family lives in the local area and some of them got to meet her briefly. We all agree she is a treasure! The house was spotless, yet she made us feel completely at home. It smelled like a spa, without being over powering. She took us for a tour, explaining things that some might take for granted, like shower faucets and fancy coffee machines. She is also very responsive should you have a question. The kitchen is well appointed for every cook, the bed in the master suite felt like a soft cloud, even though the mattress was firm, The back decks provide ample seating for dining and relaxing while taking it the lush green woods in the background. If you need a getaway from your busy life, this provides the place!Already planning our return.
This VRBO is the best in every way possible! Clair is an exceptional host She made everything so easy Her number one goal was to make sure we were happy and had every we needed The location.was perfect It’s in between the creation museum and the Arc Ending our day in Clair’s beautiful home on 12 acres was perfect I would defiantly stay here again and recommend it to everyone
KItchen great for cooking meals. Beds very comfortable. Place was clean but could smell a musty wet dog smell, although weather was quite damp and rainy the whole time. Great location
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.
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.
Lovely owner and home! Pristine home and grounds. Tranquil setting with walking paths and fields. Scripture in the home .. which as believers we appreciate.
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!
This house was beautiful and very clean! We had a wonderful time and enjoyed meeting her!
I would gladly stay here again if I'm in the area! A total 10!
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!
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 is a top-notch property, beautifully appointed throughout the home, excellent beds and other furnishings, with a huge property you can take advantage of. As fellow VRBO owners, we recommend this at the highest level. Enjoy this place! Claire is an outstanding host, communication was great!
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.
Beautiful Updated farmhouse near the ark experience
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.
