Description Description
Close enough to enjoy all the excitement of Cincinnati city, yet far enough to relish in the privacy and seclusion of the Kentucky countryside; this 4-bedroom home in cozy Crittenden is truly the best of both worlds! Cincinnati proper is less than a half hour drive north, where you can catch a sports game, visit a historical museum, book a tasting at a bourbon distillery, shop to your heart’s content, or plan evening meal at one of the eclectic local restaurants. Located in a quiet neighborhood, this home can accommodate travelers of all ages, well-suited for both groups and families.

The comfortable interior has been curated specifically for your ultimate satisfaction and relaxation. The family room on the main level includes plush sofa seating and a smart TV where you never have to worry about missing an episode of your favorite show.

An elegant dining room table can accommodate seating for 8 for your formal meals, or seat 2 at the kitchen counter for more casual fare. The kitchen is fully equipped with stainless steel appliances, Keurig drip and single serve coffee maker, cookware, and dinnerware.

On the lower level you’ll find even more space to spread out, with a living space inclusive of ample sofa seating, mounted TV, and electric fireplace. A second dining table can seat 6, suitable for mealtime overflow or to host a rousing night of games. Looking to flex your ping pong skills? You’re in luck! The included table will fill hours of fun challenging one another to friendly games. After working up a sweat, head back upstairs and out to the back deck and take in some of that fresh Kentucky air, enjoying a nightcap under the stars while lounging on the outdoor sofa set.

We are a large family with a wide range of children ages 8-21yrs. All of us were able to enjoy our own space comfortably. My daughter and I were able to walk and run in the morning in the lovely neighborhood. We were also close to a fishing spot for my sons and husband to enjoy. Over all we have had a wonderful stay in this lovely home.

2 senior couples visiting Ark Encounter and Creation Museum….conveniently located between the 2 attractions and on a quiet cul-de-sac. The kitchen was very well stocked with dishes, pots, pans, and basically anything you need to prepare a meal. We used the washer and dryer and packed clean clothes for the return home. Spacious and very clean. We stayed in 2 of the 3 bedrooms on upper level with no accessibility issues. There was a lower level which we did not use. Highly recommend.

The house was very nice plenty of room. Our group was a little bit older so the step up into the house, the steep staircase to the basement and at the bottom of the staircase the step down into the living area and the entertainment room were a bit of a problem. Some watch your step signs would be helpful. Matt responded promptly to any questions. Overall we enjoyed the stay

Beautiful house in a nice and peaceful neighborhood. Our family of four were very comfortable in the downstairs space. The large walk in closet downstairs accommodated our suitcases, while our parents and extended families slept in the upstairs bedrooms. The patios were perfect for morning and evening relaxation. We had epic ping pong matches and enjoyed the hot-tub. The manager was accommodating for late check out. It was perfect place to stay and highly recommend this home.

The Crittenden Airbnb was perfect for our purposes. We were within easy distance of both the Creation Museum and the Ark Encounter as well as grocery stores and gas. The house was immaculate, beds clean and comfortable, bathrooms were clean and complete with linens, towels, and necessities. We enjoyed watching the deer from the deck in the morning while having our coffee and preparing for the day. We used the washer and dryer and took advantage of the hot tub. The hot tub was clean and relaxing. There was plenty of space for six adults and one child. Our questions were answered promptly and with courtesy. Thank you, again, for a lovely place and comfortable stay. Jane Cookson

After much searching, we decided to choose this home for the group. We loved the living room for lounging and conversations with our friends. We looked forward to watching for the 3 deer in the back yard. We went to a state park and enjoyed the bison and one baby. The Underground Railroad was amazing. We topped off the trip with Graeter’s ice cream…..a tradition from the past. Thank you for providing this home.

This was a very nice place to stay. It was a reasonable distance to the places we wanted to visit. The home was nicely equipped with most of what we needed. The only thing that was unwelcoming was the grass needed to be cut. It was a little high which made the outside appear unkept. I did inform the owner . They asked for pictures but no one came to mow the lawn. I was there for five days. Otherwise, everything was pleasant. On an aside, I am noticing that many owners are asking visitors to laundry towels. I don’t feel that this should be the responsibility of renters because the average person does not know or comply with codes to laundry towels properly. Water needs to be a certain temperature and sanitizing solutions added. I don’t trust the renters before me to properly clean my towels.

Thanks so much for sharing your experience! I’m glad the home worked well for your trip and that you had a pleasant stay overall.

We took our family on a trip to visit both the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum. The location and accommodations were fantastic! The kitchen was fully stocked, and both the furniture and beds were comfortable.The kids loved having their own space downstairs, including the ping-pong table and hot tub. The owner responded quickly if we had any needs or questions.

We had a great stay. The house was exactly as it was listed. We have a large family and this house gave us the space we needed after a long day out. The kitchen was well equipped. Everything was clean and well-kept. There were enough pillows and blankets and towels for everyone. Even some were provided for the hot tub. The games and ping-pong table were a nice touch and gave us something to do during our downtime. It was really nice that there was enough paper products and soaps and things so we didn’t have to buy some for our short stay. The neighborhood was quiet and we felt we had a good amount of privacy. My only suggestion would be to bring some bottled water for drinking because the tap water had a strong taste. I didn’t take anything away from the ratings because of it because everything else was so great, it was easy to overlook. Otherwise, it was a fantastic stay.

Our family of eight stayed here to visit the Ark. The place feels so big because of the two levels. Everyone had all the room they needed and more for sleeping and for their belongings. The kids loved the hot tub and developed a new obsession with ping-pong. We found everything to be well appointed; kitchen and bath items were better stocked than your typical Vrbo. I personally appreciated the double-sided coffee pot because my family brought ground coffee I didn’t like but I was able to make pods whenever I wanted! I would have loved a toddler stepstool for the bathroom. The area and neighborhood are nice. We would definitely stay here again.

This was a lovely spacious home for our family's needs as we were visiting the Ark Enounter and Creation Museum as well as other local hotspots. We had kids and Grandparents alike on our trip... all of us had room for activities and a few games and the beds were all very comfortable to sleep in. We greatly enjoyed the hot tub and the ping ping table till the ball was too dead with a crack in it. ooops....and we didnt find any more. We can see our family returning with the rest of our grown children and their spouses someday.... The home would happily accommodate them as well in the really cool basement "bunk" bedroom. Thank you for your quick responses and solutions to our needs. We highly recommend your place To anyone visiting your area. Blessings to your bussiness we greatly enjoyed our stay.

We felt very at home here. We were 17 minutes from the Ark which was our main reason for travel. We enjoyed the hot tub and the kids played ping pong most of the time we were there. There was an awesome park around the corner. We spent a lot of time there as well. The neighborhood was peaceful, we would have enjoyed bringing our bikes and riding around the neighborhood. We got nearly immediate responses when messaging the owners. Beautiful home! Thank you for sharing!

All in all the house and host was great. Only problem I had was the morning before check in it was communicated that the original home chosen was having sewage issues. The first house suggested was nowhere near the standard of the original plus it had bunk beds and the woman attending was full figured. 2 more houses were suggested. One of those had bunk beds so of course "No" and the other was all the way in Kentucky (pretty far drive). I'm only assuming that if we didn't choose any of the two that they would have refunded our money and said sorry, but our weekend was planned, a lot of money was spent, and we had already booked a chef for brunch. That was money we couldn't get back. Will I book with the host again? Absolutely. They did accommodate us and were responsive and polite. The house was beautiful but like I said farther than I wanted to travel.

The location was right between the Ark Encounter and the Creation Science museum so it was very convenient. The size of the house was great because we had one family (5 people) upstairs and Grandpa and Grandma downstairs. The beds were comfortable and the sound transfer was great, although the kids were in bed early so maybe not an accurate statement for everyone. The place itself was good. The kids enjoyed the hot tub as it wasn't too hot. We had to buy ping pong balls (we left them for the next people) and the paddles are pretty rough. Son in law is a builder which came in handy to fix little issues with loose doors and other minor issues. The place obviously gets a lot of people through but was still not bad. We would stay again.

The house was just beautiful. It really felt like home. It was also well maintained and so clean! I always feel obligated to clean and wipe surfaces when we stay elsewhere, but there was no need, this place was spotless! The house is in a neighborhood, and it was so quiet and peaceful. No noise at all. The neighborhood is very nice with other beautiful houses that were spaced out. I read a lot of reviews about the driveway being steep, but to me it was not steep at all. The location was great! It took us maybe 12 minutes to the ark, and 25 mins to the creation museum. The house is just off the highway and very easy to find. Everything is spacious and decorated so nicely. Just like the photos! The house has so much to offer. It does not feel cramped at all and has everything you will need to feel at home. I recommend anyone to stay here. For the price, and space you get, it is the best choice. We plan on coming back with more family and hope to stay again!
