Vacation rentals with a fire pit in Boone County

Great house, clean, modern, great amenities, beautiful surroundings, very friendly hosts.

3/25-3/29 2025 This was a birthday trip for a set of 10 year old twins and let me just say, our trip couldn’t have been better. From the moment we walked inside and saw the extra special touches that were waiting for the girls with the balloons and sweet message written on the fridge. The home felt very homey and clean. It was everything that was described. We spent our days at the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum (which we highly recommend doing both) and this beautiful home is right in between both places so it wasn’t a very far drive. After long days of walking, it was so nice to be able to come back and relax in the hot tub. There was also what we assumed to be the sweetest neighborhood cat that came to visit us each day, which the kids loved. Overall this was a wonderful trip that we all enjoyed very much. We didn’t have any problems or issues so we had no reason to contact the host (Julie) but there’s no doubt in my mind that if we did need to she would’ve responded promptly.

We had a wonderful time! Easy drive to both the Creation Museum and the Ark Encounter!

Had a great stay! Probably the cleanest house I’ve staid at on vacation before!

We would stay at The Hive again! Shelly has done a great job with this cute little getaway!

My family of 7 stayed are Josh’s home for Easter break. It was everything and some for our whole family. My children’s ages are 24, 18, 13, 8 and 6. Everyone enjoyed the fire pit and the back yard. The littles loved the play ground and the playhouse. The house was spacious and clean. Will definitely stay here again the next time we visit Kentucky.

Very nice private getaway. I had an extended stay due to work and this was an awesome place to unwind after a long day. Crystal is an awesome host and was extremely helpfully and responsive during my stay. Definitely recommend for anyone looking in the area for something not far away but a little more off the beaten path.

Wonderful responsive hosts! We had a great stay, a home away home. The house was close to The Creation Museum, 35 minutes from the Ark Encounter, and close to all the places to eat. The living space was spacious, the beds were comfortable, and everything was so clean and nice. We would definitely come back when we are in the area again.

Pretty straight forward for a one night stay. Extremely convenient location and the price is so reasonable! Everything is clean and theres some cute amenities. Thanks again!

My friends and I really enjoyed staying at Connor‘s place! It’s a beautiful home located in Ludlow. Just over the river from Cincinnati and also very close to some restaurants. It’s a nice quiet neighborhood. Very walkable and right across the street from a gas station which is very convenient. I would love to stay here again.

Highly recommend this spot for a fun weekend retreat in Mt. Adam’s or a longer stay! Host was extremely communicative and accommodating!

Best place to stay … but no ac access in the Location I have to put a hoodie and sweatpants on just to go to sleep, but she did let us know that before hand so great experience if you like to sleep cold

There were tornado warnings while I was there and Robin was so concerned about my safety. She made sure I knew where the emergency candles were, even though everything was clearly marked in the entire house, and since there wasn’t a basement, that I knew where the fire department was for emergency shelter.

My husband & I stayed 3 nights with our 2 year old and 10 month old. Perfect places if you have little ones. Especially appreciated the pack & play, kids plates/bowls, and Roku TV. The kids LOVED the goats and the outside swing. Delicious goal milk fudge and tasty snacks when we arrived. Also an easy check out list. Couldn’t say enough good things about a trip.

Very charming spot! Loved all the decor, lots of peaceful lighting and seating. Great walkable neighborhood. Michele was a great host and thought of everything!

We came for a wedding and we liked the location, since it was walkable to the area we were going. We weren't there a lot, but the room was nice. Overall quiet location, although it is right next to the laundry room which we could hear but it wasn't lound enough to bother us. Not a ton of table space/counter space once we pulled out the microwave, but everything was there that we needed (fridge, microwave, kettle!, coffee pod machine-bring your own decaf-, dishes) and it was perfect for the weekend. There were hangers in the closet for us to hang our wedding wear to keep them fresh, and a nice coat rack at the door. The decor was cute, and the layout was nice. Parking was on the street and while busy, we both found parking space within the block when we arrived. We really liked the place and would definitely stay again.

Wow, what a beautiful cabin. We had 2 couples staying in the cabin for the weekend with plenty of room. I ask the owners if they had a banner for a birthday🤗. We were celebrating my best friend’s 60th birthday. We went to the Arc encounter which was very close and had dinner reservations in Cincinnati on a dinner train. Anjanette went above and beyond to hang balloons and a banner. She was so thoughtful. We all had a wonderful time at the cabin and the hot tub was amazing. We would definitely recommend this cabin. Thanks for a wonderful weekend.

What a great place. Would love to come back when it's warmer...that pond is amazing!

The cabin was just like the description. It was very clean and it felt just like home. It was so peaceful and quiet. I had a very nice stay with my family.

We really, really enjoyed this property even though it rained & stormed every day. The view is so gorgeous! We actually enjoyed watching the storms out the large windows that overlook the property, the large pond and rolling hills. Watching the deer meandering around as they fed and the turkeys chasing each other was better than watching TV. This property is so peaceful. On nice days, there is lots to do as he says in the description…pontoon & paddle boat on the pond, a fire pit area, the hot tub, corn hole, comfortable deck, and just walking the property. The home was spotless and very comfortably appointed. We could not think of one thing we would have wanted that wasn’t already provided. So many towels, blankets, kitchen utensils, etc. Beautiful and tasteful decor. Comfortable beds. We traveled with another couple & there was plenty of room. Jim was very responsive from beginning to end. If we could give more than 5 stars, we would. I’m sure anyone would love their stay.

We felt so at home. The cabin was so clean & cozy. The host was so personable and helpful. If we’re ever in the area again, this will be our first choice.

Josh was a great host. He responded to inquiries quickly, and provided useful information regarding his property and local things to see/do, and dining options. His place is perfect for a getaway with your dog! Our Golden loved exploring the property, especially the creek! Our pug enjoyed just lounging around. I loved the beautiful Virginia Bluebells by the creek. This cabin was perfect for our short one-night stay.

The cabin is absolutely adorable and perfect for our anniversary trip. It made our visit to The Ark Encounter a memorable one. It was easy to find. The drive to the cabin was spectacular, the rolling hills and winding road made for a gorgeous view. It was easily accessible, clean & pretty peaceful. With all the amenities we needed including games. Thank you

Absolutely beautiful place. We stayed in the smaller part of the house (to the right when looking at the house). Super clean house & a very well supplied kitchen. Great patio & grilling area also. Parking area is very steep but it was worth it.
