The Restful Ark

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.
