Secluded 4 BDR Retreat Just 25 Min from Ark Encounter w/Private Pool! | House in Walton

For a secluded vacation in the Kentucky countryside just outside of Cincinnati’s metropolitan area, Ark Adventure Retreat is a dream vacation home come true! You’ll be close enough to enjoy life in the big city yet far enough away for the privacy and relaxation that can only come with life in the ‘burbs. As the name suggests, you’ll be within just 20 miles to the Ark Encounter, a one-of-a-kind biblical themed attraction you simply must see to believe. Visitors from all over the world come to see this amazing, man-made wonder, and we can assure you that you will not be disappointed by what you find! 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. You don’t have to go too far for entertainment, however, as your very own seasonal above-ground pool awaits at the home for hours of fun splashing and playing under the warm Kentucky sun. The spacious, fenced-in back yard offers plenty of opportunity for play as well as relaxation. The upper-level deck offers space for taking your meals al fresco while overlooking the tree-lined landscape.
Heading indoors, you’ll find a fresh and modern interior accented with comfortable furnishings and elegant décor. The cozy living room includes an L-shaped sofa and a smart TV, the perfect place for streaming a movie or your favorite shows. The open floorplan organically guides you into the kitchen, fully equipped for all your mealtime needs with stainless steel appliances, glossy countertops, and well-stocked cabinets. Lay out a spread of delicious afternoon hors d’oeuvres on the island, with high-top stool seating for 3 available for quick bites. The formal dining room table can seat 4, offering views and access out onto the back yard. Tap into your competitive side in the garage-turned-game room, including ping-pong and foosball tables as well as Jenga and Connect 4.
