Quiet Country Getaway

The Blue House was an ideal place for a family reset! We spent the days exploring the area and visiting the Ark Encounter, the Creation Museum, and the Cincinnati Zoo. We returned in the evening to play games and have dinner. The kids were sad to leave - both the house and the sweetest four-legged, neighborhood welcome committee!

Great for a family!

We loved our stay! It was the perfect space for our whole family. The full kitchen, laundry, and large bedrooms were great for travelling with kids. A very clean, spacious, and peaceful place. Craig was very prompt in responding to questions or needs during our stay. If you're looking for somewhere quiet and peaceful, this is it! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend it!

Home close to civilization with a country feel

We enjoyed the many amenities and friendly host of this house “in the country” but minutes from fine dining, local Walmart, coffee, the Ark encounter and Creation Museum. Overall, a great time was had and the location was really a good fit for our family
