Summary Summary
Welcome to The Restful Ark, a peaceful four-bedroom retreat in beautiful Crittenden, Kentucky. Nestled in a quiet neighborhood, this home offers the perfect place to relax after visiting the Ark Encounter just minutes away.

The Creation Museum is also a short drive away, making this an ideal home base for your next adventure.
Description Description
One of the must-see destinations in the area is the Ark Encounter—a life-size replica of Noah’s Ark! This jaw-dropping structure, 15 minutes to the south, brings ancient history to life and offers interactive exhibits, live animals, and even zip-lining adventures. A half hour to the north will take you to the renowned Creation Museum, where you'll journey through exhibits that explore the story of creation with immersive displays, botanical gardens, a planetarium, and petting zoos.

When you’re ready to check out life in the big city, Cincinnati 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. If you prefer to stay a little more local, the home sits just on the outskirts of Crittenden’s city center, offering its own desirable selection of shopping and dining.

After spending busy days in the surrounding area, head back to the home to relax and reset, uncovering its own desirable blend of comfort and entertainment. Soak in the fresh air and plentiful sunshine from the back deck, sipping your morning coffee or an afternoon cocktail while making your plans for the next adventures ahead. The bubbling hot tub beckons you to soak your tired muscles, fully screened in to maximize your privacy.

Indoors, open and airy spaces are fit for a crowd, allowing everyone to spread out and find their own spot to unwind while communal spaces bring you back together to connect and make lasting memories. Sink into plush sofa and chaise seating in the living room while you stream all your favorite entertainment on the smart TV. Steps away, the stylish kitchen offers everything you need to whip up delicious homecooked meals, with stainless steel appliances alongside plentiful countertop space and cabinetry for preparation and storage. Gather the whole crew for dining at the chic table for 8, afterward clearing the plates for a fun-filled family game night.

Speaking of games, you’ll find even more to love in the garage, your hub for friendly competition during rounds of ping pong, foam ax throwing, Pop-A-Shot basketball, darts, and more. Back indoors, a den on the lower level offers a more secluded experience for enjoying your preferred shows and movies or simply turning the pages of a good book.

Bedroom #1 includes a king size bed and ensuite bathroom with a single vanity and shower/tub combo.

Bedroom #2 includes a queen size bed.

Just 30 minutes outside of Cincinnati, this is the perfect location for those seeking access to metropolitan activities while staying in a rural community with serene landscapes. This home is within easy reach of some of Cincinnati’s most popular attractions like the Bengals Stadium, Riverfront Park, and Great American Ballpark. Beyond this central area, there’s still so much more to explore. From Cincinnati’s street art revolution which has transformed neighborhoods with 180+ public murals, to its serious beer culture, revitalized historic neighborhoods with trendy shopping and dining like Over-the-Rhine, and authentic Art Deco architecture and design, this culturally diverse city is a can’t-miss destination.

Back on the Kentucky side of the river, you’re in prime Bourbon Trail territory. Check out distilleries and sipping points where you can sample Northern Kentucky’s bourbon, often paired with traditional southern foods. From Walton, you’re also within an hour of other major metropolitan centers Louisville and Lexington. Make day trips to explore these urban areas, while the home gives you the best of both worlds with its peaceful, countryside setting.

Upon arrival the place smelled like cigarette smoke. The host did order us air fresheners however the smoke smell lingers. We had 8 people and there were not enough towels for everyone. The towels were very poor quality and ended up having to use some the hot tub towels. There is some mold on the hallway bathroom ceiling. Ultimately the place looks nice however there are several places that needed to be repaired.

Spacious and comfortable. Our family liked the "game room" in the garage which was lots of family fun time. While our main reason for booking this particular home was its location to the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum we found that it was centrally located within an hour drive to many great activities. Host was very attentive as I had to reach out several times and I quickly got a response each time. The house was well stocked with supplies and while we didn't have the opportunity to use the hot tub it looked very well kept. Also, the washer and dryer were full size and worked great.

Our family of 5 absolutely loved our stay there! We had so much fun with all the games in the garage and loved relaxing in the hot tub. The kitchen was really well equipped. There’s even a baby gate in case you have littles. Very beautiful home and they were super responsive to all our messages. Highly recommend

The home was beautiful and very inviting. The only little things we have any complaints about is: the trash bags were horrible (everyone of them broke when we took them out), one wooden game in the game room was broke and unable to be played and the darts to the dart board had seen better days. We found two okay darts and had to keep rotating them out to play a game. Overall though the place was wonderful, just a few small details that we noticed.

This place worked out perfectly. It was very central to both the Ark and the Creation Museum, which were the purpose of our trip. There were four of us, so we each had our own bedroom, and with 2-1/2 bathrooms, everything worked smoothly. This was all great, but the main reason for my score was the unbelievably quick responses from the host whenever I had a question. If I ever come back to this area, I would definitely stay here again.

We stayed at this property for five nights. Check in was super easy, the host was very responsive to any questions we had. The house was as described in the posting. The house was clean, the beds were comfortable and the ping pong table and other games in the garage were a nice bonus. The neighborhood was nice and quiet for the most part. The house is relatively close to a major highway so you do get some road noise. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend it if you're in the area.

House was good, beds comfortable. Hot water in showers was excellent. Yard needed mowing. Trash cart’s were full. Maybe some hooks in the hot tub area for towels would be a nice touch. In the kitchen maybe a one gallon plastic pitcher for tea. Overall a good place to stay close to both the Ark and Creation museum.

The property itself was great and met all of our needs. However when we arrived there was a very strong cigarette smell. I would suggest that the owners buy an air purifier to remove those smells when someone breaks the rules. I am very allergic to cigarette smoke and was miserable all weekend. I did call the management and they did offer an air freshener. However an air freshener does not take the smoke out of the air and makes it miserable for someone who has an allergy to it. I would also suggest extra blankets for the bedroom down on the basement as it is very cold. Otherwise it was a great vacation.

The place was extremely well done with all necessary amenities both in the kitchen and bedrooms. The bathrooms were very clean, and the double garage was converted to a play area which had a ping pong table, miniature basketball competition shooting game, a dart board and a hatchet throw game along with board games for playing inside, are perfect for kids when mom and dad need a break.

Great place to stay. The kids loved the downstairs. My teenagers had their own living room, bedroom & bathroom. The garage was a great area to play & get some energy out. The ring toss game was broken but still plenty to do. The upstairs was very nice. We had plenty of room for everyone. Not anyone’s fault but the house was very noisy. With the open stairwell all of the noise echoed terribly from the downstairs to the upstairs and all the living room/kitchen area was very loud at all times (because I have kids…). Lots of road noise. Furnishings were nice. Kitchen adequately stocked. Bathrooms were great, but the bath tubs do not stop up, so you can only use them as showers. Beds were comfortable. The king bed is only a few inches off the floor so not ideal for those with mobility issues. Master bathroom door did not lock but the bedroom door did so we were still able to maintain privacy. The hot tub was not clean when we arrived. There was grass in the hot tub & it foamed when on.

Everything needed was provided such as towels and sheets. They even had towels for towels for the hot tub, laundry detergent, and all the soaps. Super helpful!

We enjoyed our stay in this lovely home. The set up was perfect for our family (which included grandparents, who loved the space on the lower level). The neighborhood was safe, and great for early morning walks. We had some difficulty entering the house with the code that was provided, but when we called the owner we got an immediate response and were then able to enter, using the instructions that were given. Any questions we had were always answered immediately and graciously.

Place was spacious and very clean. Garage game room was a hit. Once we arrived and got into the house, the keypad no longer worked. We were already gone for the day when we learned about the lock box with the extra key and had to keep the house unlocked for the day.

This place was great to fit our needs for the week. We enjoyed having a kitchen to use for breakfast and making spaghetti one night. We also liked having all the separate bedrooms and overall the house had the entertainment our kids needed in the garage (basketball shooter game, axe throwing and ping pong were really fun!) We had a small family of 4, but the basement bedrooms dn extra TV room would be nice if you needed them. They provided K-cups and we brought our own coffee, but didn't have filters to make a whole pot. We used the hot tub one night, but we couldn't figure out how to make the bubbles get any stronger. The bathrooms were really nice and there were plenty of towels. Overall, nice house for the price and close to Cincinnati and the Ark Encounter!

We did have issues with the keypad to get in, but the host responded immediately to our call, and unlocked it remotely. Impressive service! A beautiful home, things for our boys to do inside since it was winter, and a lovely hot tub to relax! We will definitely recommend it to friends who go to the Ark Encounter!
