The Space: It’s where leisurely drives along winding roads end in local towns brimming with quaint shops and delicious eateries. Here in Williamston, it’s also where you’ll find perhaps the most significant attraction of the area: the Ark Encounter! This life-size replica of Noah's Ark is a must-see for visitors, drawing crowds all year round, from all around the world. Featuring interactive exhibits and beautifully crafted biblical displays woven around its expansive grounds, it’s a unique and immersive experience unlike any other. When you choose to stay at the aptly named Ark Encounter Getaway, you’ll be just 10 minutes from all the action, a charming 2-bedroom home offering the perfect location for your upcoming getaway. In addition to the local scene, life in the big city of 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 city of Florence is the perfect in-between compromise, only 45 minutes from the home and offering its own desirable selection of shopping and dining. The home’s cheerful blue exterior is a welcome sign of things to come, its wraparound porch offering the perfect spot for quiet mornings with your fresh cup of coffee or a refreshing evening cocktail while overlooking the lush landscape. Step indoors to find open and modern spaces expertly curated to maximize your downtime between adventures in and around the area. Sink into plush sofa seating with chaise lounge in the living room while you stream all your favorite entertainment on the smart TV. The stylish kitchen features stainless steel appliances alongside plentiful counterspace and cabinetry, making preparation of your favorite homecooked meals a breeze. Gather together at the table for all your formal dining needs or head back outdoors for a meal al fresco at the picnic table as you soak up the sunshine and fresh country air. This home comfortably sleeps 5 guests between 2 private bedrooms and a full size sleeper sofa in the living room. Bedroom #1 includes a queen size bed. Bedroom #2 includes a queen size bed. The home also includes a full guest bathroom with a single vanity and shower/tub combo. THINGS TO NOTE: • Washer and dryer in home. • Driveway parking available for 2 vehicles. • This home is equipped with one (1) external Ring security camera, located on the front porch and actively monitoring the walkway and parking area. Less than an hour 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.
