If you're an early riser get your coffee and grab a seat on the deck and watch the woods wake up as the sun rises. There are three fire pits for your evening enjoyment, one located on the main patio, one located behind the garage area with swings, and one at the pond. The home is 35 minutes from the Ark Encounter & 25 minutes to the Creation Museum. A short drive to Ohio or Indiana. Also 25 minutes away from CVG, if you are taking a flight into the area.

Great retreat!

Our family had a wonderful New Year's Eve vacation at the cabin. Some went to Perfect North, others shopping, but we all gathered for dinner and card games in the evenings, while kids enjoyed movies in the basement and the guys had football going in the living room. It was really great!

Creation Museum & Arc Encounter Visit

Timber Frame Country Retreat is a perfect location for to visit both the Creation Museum and Arc Encounter. Terri was wonderful to work with and always immediately available for any questions or help. Well appointed and super clean. We had two couples, but could have accommodated four couples very well. Highly Recommended!

Perfect family vacation spot!

We traveled to Kentucky to see the Ark encounter and creation museum and this was the perfect spot between both attractions! Florence was also very easy to get to for groceries and other needs! The fishing pond and fire pits were a hit! The owners were very responsive when I had questions as well! The home was so warm and inviting and very clean with plenty of amenities and was fully stocked. My 5 year old son loved all the board games and the house was very accommodating with a pack and play and infant tub for the baby!! Can not say enough about this home! Also had a short drive up to Cincinnati for Italian at "Scotties" it was soooo good!! We will definitely be back!

Picturesque Perfection

We had a wonderful stay here. Thank you so much for letting us rent this retreat. We loved the atmosphere. The scenery was very picturesque. We initially had plans to visit other area attractions, but quickly changed our plans to spend a couple days relaxing in the beautiful scenery and enjoying all the activities at the retreat! The whole family had a blast fishing! The paddle boat was also a hit. The fire pits were perfect for making s'mores. This place truly felt like a home away from home!
