The River Cottage, Creation Museum/Ark Encounter

The River Cottage is a warm and cozy retreat 2 blocks from the Ohio river. It is beautifully decorated with a king canopy bed and a pull out for kids in one room and two queen beds in the other room along with a roll away bed and another pull out queen sofa in the main living area. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need to prepare meals. The back yard supports extra parking and even a boat. The boat ramp to the Ohio is two blocks away. The cottage is centrally located to downtown Cincinnati, the airport,
Hollywood casino, River downs, Coney Island, Rising Star casino, Lawrenceburg Speedway and much more!

The town is one of the older historical towns in Kentucky, and has the only community center in the county. There is a boat launch 2 blocks away on the Ohio river and room in the backyard to park it. Feel free to take the kiddo's to the playground. Take a quiet stroll and enjoy the scenery. There is one store/restaurant in town and details are available on arrival. The food is pretty good too!
There is no public transportation in town, or Uber. You're 5 miles from the Creation Museum, 2 blocks from the Ohio river boat ramp, about 1 hour to the Ark Encounter, 19 minutes to the airport, and 17 minutes to the Hollywood Casino. Rising Star Casino in Rising Sun Indiana is 35 minutes away, Belltarra casino is an hour. Perfect North Slopes is 25 minutes.
The laundry is in the basement, feel free to use it. We have soap and dryer sheets for your convenience. Be careful going down the steps, there is a hand rail but none the last two steps past the landing. Elderly people may want to take extra precaution. Feel free to cook, there's pots and a frying pan along with all the standard utensils, along with casseroles. You are responsible for all clean up, including dishes. We supply a coffee maker, toaster and microwave. Feel free to use anything in the house.

Lovely
I stayed with my mom & kids, as we were making use of the kids’ Spring Break by taking a field trip to the Ark Encounter & the Creation Museum. Neighborhood was quiet; house is quaint. The pillows & bed were soooo comfy! We’ll gladly return here should we be able to return to the area.

A great experience, and a great location, close to the creation museum.
We stayed two nights and enjoyed the large kitchen table, where we worked on a puzzle and enjoyed our meals at the cottage. Everything was comfy, and cozy!

Cozy and Clean
Annie's house is an adorable, cozy but spacious, and clean place to stay. It's convenient to the interstate, airport, and all the activities in the greater Cincinnati area. We will definately look at staying again when we visit.

Quaint and cozy little home
We stayed here because we wanted to take our family of 6 snowboarding at Perfect North Slopes about 20 minutes away. Loved the little neighborhood this house was in as well. It kept us warm the night it snowed, bed was cozy, water was hot, kitchen was a perfect size, and the kids all loved it too. Not far from Cincinnati and we even spent a day at the AF Museum in Dayton.

Perfect feel at home place for two days while we explored the Creation Museum and Ark.
Everything was very smooth and we were able to get in and had plenty of sleeping areas with a good amount of blankets and pillows. The kids enjoyed going to the games room both evenings. Thanks.
