We traveled to Kentucky to see the Ark encounter and creation museum and this was the perfect spot between both attractions! Florence was also very easy to get to for groceries and other needs! The fishing pond and fire pits were a hit! The owners were very responsive when I had questions as well! The home was so warm and inviting and very clean with plenty of amenities and was fully stocked. My 5 year old son loved all the board games and the house was very accommodating with a pack and play and infant tub for the baby!! Can not say enough about this home! Also had a short drive up to Cincinnati for Italian at "Scotties" it was soooo good!! We will definitely be back!

We decided to reserve this particular property after searching online for several hours, looking for just the right property for our family. We were very happy upon arriving at this lovely home! The pics and description you will see online are accurate. The home was very clean, well maintained, and had every convenience you could possibly need when staying at a home away from home. The guys enjoyed fishing in the well stocked fish pond while the ladies and kiddos enjoyed reading on the deck, watching a movie on one of the flatscreens and snacking in the well appointed kitchen. There was plenty of room for four adults and two kiddos to have our own space. The gravel driveway is easy to navigate, the property is situated in a private, quiet development about 15 minutes from Florence (where you will find lots of shopping, restaurants, etc) and you are about 30 minutes from either the Ark or Creation Museum. We found this to be a super convenient location yet we felt like we were truly away from it all when we returned home in the evenings. This property is the perfect retreat spot. We highly recommend this lovely home for your next adventure when visiting the Ark Encounter, Creation Museum or simply needing a nice place to stay near Florence, KY. Thank you to the hosts for sharing this lovely property!

The property and everything that is provided is just perfect. We were preparing a couple of meals for eight of us, and between the outdoor grill and everything in the kitchen, well, if it’s not there, then you don’t need it.We could tell that the cleanliness is not just on the surface. Every room every area is perfectly clean.The host is very responsive and had a small gift for us set up prior to our arrival. This was very unexpected and added a really nice Touch. Everyone in our group thought this was all just fantastic.As we were leaving & going back down the driveway, our daughters commented that if we ever come back to the area, we need to book here again because our log cabin stay was unforgettable!!

Our family absolutely loved the secluded cabin and private pond. We enjoyed four days of fishing, campfires (choice of three locations) and The Ark and Creation Museums! Kids, adults and grandparents appreciated this well equipped, clean and rustic home with something for everyone. The owner, Terri, was accommodating and so kind. Five stars!

We had a wonderful stay here. Thank you so much for letting us rent this retreat. We loved the atmosphere. The scenery was very picturesque. We initially had plans to visit other area attractions, but quickly changed our plans to spend a couple days relaxing in the beautiful scenery and enjoying all the activities at the retreat! The whole family had a blast fishing! The paddle boat was also a hit. The fire pits were perfect for making s'mores. This place truly felt like a home away from home!

Timber Frame Country Retreat is a perfect location for to visit both the Creation Museum and Arc Encounter. Terri was wonderful to work with and always immediately available for any questions or help. Well appointed and super clean. We had two couples, but could have accommodated four couples very well. Highly Recommended!

Walking into Ms. Terri’s cabin was like being welcomed in by a beloved family member. She’d set up a welcome basket for us with a sweet card and tons of snacks. The cabin was immaculately cleaned, decorated so cozy, and stocked with anything we could have needed. It really did feel like we were visiting that aunt that has everything you could need and more. We forgot a pack and play for our 2 year old… she had one. I forgot to iron one of my shirts.. she had and iron and and ironing board. I got a stain on said shirt… stain remover was in the laundry room. And let’s not forget the view. Wow…. Pictures don’t do it justice. The cabin is perfectly tucked away in the woods but we were still only 13 ish minutes away from a Kroger and such in town. Just the perfect stay!

We traveled to Kentucky to see the Ark encounter and creation museum and this was the perfect spot between both attractions! Florence was also very easy to get to for groceries and other needs! The fishing pond and fire pits were a hit! The owners were very responsive when I had questions as well! The home was so warm and inviting and very clean with plenty of amenities and was fully stocked. My 5 year old son loved all the board games and the house was very accommodating with a pack and play and infant tub for the baby!! Can not say enough about this home! Also had a short drive up to Cincinnati for Italian at "Scotties" it was soooo good!! We will definitely be back!

Our stay was absolutely pristine! From our sweet gift basket and hand-written card welcoming us to the cozy, warm atmosphere, we fell in love with this glimpse of heaven. There were extra pillows and blankets for each room, plenty of family board games, children's books and toys. The location was nicely tucked away, with a few neighbors nearby. We definitely hope to come again for a longer stay to enjoy more peace and tranquility.

Timber Frame Country Retreat is a perfect location for to visit both the Creation Museum and Arc Encounter. Terri was wonderful to work with and always immediately available for any questions or help. Well appointed and super clean. We had two couples, but could have accommodated four couples very well. Highly Recommended!

The property and everything that is provided is just perfect. We were preparing a couple of meals for eight of us, and between the outdoor grill and everything in the kitchen, well, if it’s not there, then you don’t need it.We could tell that the cleanliness is not just on the surface. Every room every area is perfectly clean.The host is very responsive and had a small gift for us set up prior to our arrival. This was very unexpected and added a really nice Touch. Everyone in our group thought this was all just fantastic.As we were leaving & going back down the driveway, our daughters commented that if we ever come back to the area, we need to book here again because our log cabin stay was unforgettable!!

This was a wonderful retreat for our family. We had a wonderful time exploring the grounds, walking on the quiet nature-filled roads, and enjoying each other's company. Our host did a fantastic job at making us feel welcome.

The host was very quick to reply, house was spotless, cozy, peaceful and the beds were comfortable. Very pet friendly and the host left a very nice basket of goodies for us when we checked in. We will definitely rent this property again!

Property was very nice just as described. Owner was easy to get in touch with also. Love that it was so quiet there. Our family loved the pond and the fishing and the paddle boat.

We traveled to Kentucky to see the Ark encounter and creation museum and this was the perfect spot between both attractions! Florence was also very easy to get to for groceries and other needs! The fishing pond and fire pits were a hit! The owners were very responsive when I had questions as well! The home was so warm and inviting and very clean with plenty of amenities and was fully stocked. My 5 year old son loved all the board games and the house was very accommodating with a pack and play and infant tub for the baby!! Can not say enough about this home! Also had a short drive up to Cincinnati for Italian at "Scotties" it was soooo good!! We will definitely be back!

We decided to reserve this particular property after searching online for several hours, looking for just the right property for our family. We were very happy upon arriving at this lovely home! The pics and description you will see online are accurate. The home was very clean, well maintained, and had every convenience you could possibly need when staying at a home away from home. The guys enjoyed fishing in the well stocked fish pond while the ladies and kiddos enjoyed reading on the deck, watching a movie on one of the flatscreens and snacking in the well appointed kitchen. There was plenty of room for four adults and two kiddos to have our own space. The gravel driveway is easy to navigate, the property is situated in a private, quiet development about 15 minutes from Florence (where you will find lots of shopping, restaurants, etc) and you are about 30 minutes from either the Ark or Creation Museum. We found this to be a super convenient location yet we felt like we were truly away from it all when we returned home in the evenings. This property is the perfect retreat spot. We highly recommend this lovely home for your next adventure when visiting the Ark Encounter, Creation Museum or simply needing a nice place to stay near Florence, KY. Thank you to the hosts for sharing this lovely property!

The space was beautiful, very cozy and wonderful outdoor areas to relax and enjoy time as a family. It's tucked away in the woods but close enough to entertainment in the area. Thanks again!

Walking into Ms. Terri’s cabin was like being welcomed in by a beloved family member. She’d set up a welcome basket for us with a sweet card and tons of snacks. The cabin was immaculately cleaned, decorated so cozy, and stocked with anything we could have needed. It really did feel like we were visiting that aunt that has everything you could need and more. We forgot a pack and play for our 2 year old… she had one. I forgot to iron one of my shirts.. she had and iron and and ironing board. I got a stain on said shirt… stain remover was in the laundry room. And let’s not forget the view. Wow…. Pictures don’t do it justice. The cabin is perfectly tucked away in the woods but we were still only 13 ish minutes away from a Kroger and such in town. Just the perfect stay!
