The Space:
❤️ What I Love About Poolside Paradise — and Why You’ll Love Staying Here
What makes Poolside Paradise special is simple: the house becomes part of your vacation.
Spend the afternoon swimming in your private pool, challenge the family to a game of pool in the game room, spread out between multiple living spaces, relax on the deck, and finish the evening gathered around the fire pit.
And when you're ready to explore, you're staying in Walton, Kentucky, about 20 minutes from the Ark Encounter and conveniently located for trips to the Creation Museum, Northern Kentucky, Florence, and Cincinnati.
With 5 private bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, and accommodations for up to 12 guests, there's plenty of room for larger families and groups to enjoy the trip together without feeling crowded.
Whether you're planning an Ark Encounter family vacation, Creation Museum trip, multi-generational getaway, summer pool vacation, family reunion, or Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky weekend, Poolside Paradise gives you the space and amenities to make the trip memorable.
📍 PRIVATE POOL
The private swimming pool is one of the biggest reasons to choose Poolside Paradise.
Spend warm Kentucky afternoons swimming, let the kids cool off after a day of sightseeing, or simply relax poolside while everyone enjoys some downtime.
Instead of having to plan an activity every minute of your vacation, you can come home from the Ark Encounter or Creation Museum and still have something everyone looks forward to.
The pool is not heated and is seasonally available from Memorial Day through Labor Day.
📍 GAME ROOM + SECOND LIVING AREA
Ready for some friendly competition?
Head downstairs to the dedicated game room and rack up a game of pool.
The nearby second living area gives your group another comfortable place to relax and provides valuable extra space when you're traveling with up to 12 people.
Kids can hang out downstairs while adults relax upstairs—or bring everyone together for a family pool tournament.
Between the game room, private swimming pool, fire pit, deck, and multiple living spaces, there's plenty to keep everyone entertained even when you're not sightseeing.
📍 OUTDOOR LIVING
Some of the best parts of a stay at Poolside Paradise happen outside.
Enjoy:
✓ Private seasonal swimming pool
✓ Spacious deck
✓ Outdoor seating
✓ Fire-pit gathering area
✓ Backyard space
Start your morning outside with coffee, spend the afternoon swimming, and finish the evening around the fire pit talking about the day's adventures.
It's a setup that works especially well for families who want a combination of sightseeing and relaxing at the vacation home.
📍 LIVING ROOM
The bright, open main living room provides a comfortable gathering place for your group.
Sink into the spacious sectional, watch a movie or favorite show on the TV, or simply relax together after a full day exploring Kentucky.
The open-concept layout flows naturally into the kitchen and dining area, allowing everyone to spend time together even while meals are being prepared.
📍 KITCHEN + DINING
The spacious kitchen is fully equipped for preparing everything from a quick breakfast before the Ark Encounter to a family dinner at home.
You'll have:
✓ Stainless-steel appliances
✓ Full-size refrigerator
✓ Range & microwave
✓ Dishwasher
✓ Stone countertops
✓ Generous prep space
✓ Cookware & dining ware
✓ Kitchen island seating
✓ Dining table with seating for 6
The open layout makes it easy to cook, eat, and spend time together without separating the group.
📍 5 PRIVATE BEDROOMS | SLEEPS 12
One of Poolside Paradise's biggest advantages is the ability to accommodate up to 12 guests across 5 private bedrooms.
Bedroom 1 — King Suite
1 King Bed
Private ensuite bathroom
Bedroom 2
1 Queen Bed
Bedroom 3
1 Queen Bed
Bedroom 4
2 Queen Beds
Bedroom 5
1 Full Bed
This sleeping arrangement works especially well for large families, multiple families traveling together, grandparents traveling with children and grandchildren, and groups visiting Northern Kentucky together.
Instead of booking multiple hotel rooms, everyone can stay under one roof while still having private bedrooms.
📍 3 FULL BATHROOMS
With accommodations for 12, having 3 full bathrooms is another major convenience.
The home includes the primary ensuite plus two additional full guest bathrooms, helping everyone get ready more efficiently before heading out for the day.
📍 PERFECT FOR FAMILY & GROUP TRIPS
Poolside Paradise was made for groups who want to spend time together without being on top of each other.
You'll have:
✓ 5 private bedrooms
✓ 3 full bathrooms
✓ Sleeps up to 12
✓ Private swimming pool
✓ Game room with pool table
✓ Second living area
✓ Full kitchen
✓ Fire pit
✓ Outdoor deck
✓ Washer & dryer
There's space to gather together—and space to spread out when everyone wants some downtime.
📍 YOUR HOME BASE FOR THE ARK ENCOUNTER
If you're coming to Northern Kentucky for the Ark Encounter, Poolside Paradise gives your family much more than somewhere to sleep.
The Ark Encounter is approximately 20 minutes from the property according to the current listing.
Spend the day exploring the Ark, then come home and:
✓ Jump into the private pool
✓ Play pool in the game room
✓ Cook dinner together
✓ Relax across two living areas
✓ Gather outside around the fire pit
For larger families, that's a completely different vacation experience than returning to several separate hotel rooms.
📍 VISITING THE CREATION MUSEUM
Planning to experience both the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum?
Poolside Paradise makes a comfortable home base for a multi-day Northern Kentucky vacation.
After exploring the Creation Museum, return to Walton and enjoy an evening at the house rather than searching for another activity.
Having 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a full kitchen, private pool, and game room is particularly useful for families spending several days in the area.
📍 EXPLORE NORTHERN KENTUCKY + CINCINNATI
The Ark and Creation Museum may bring you to Northern Kentucky, but there's much more to experience while you're here.
Popular destinations include:
✓ Ark Encounter — Williamstown
✓ Creation Museum — Petersburg
✓ Florence shopping & dining
✓ Newport Aquarium
✓ Newport on the Levee
✓ Downtown Cincinnati
✓ Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden
✓ Great American Ball Park — Cincinnati Reds
✓ Paycor Stadium — Cincinnati Bengals
✓ TQL Stadium — FC Cincinnati
✓ Cincinnati Museum Center
✓ Over-the-Rhine
✓ Findlay Market
✓ Washington Park
Cincinnati is currently described by the listing as less than a 30-minute drive, while Florence is approximately 10 minutes away.
That gives you the flexibility to combine a peaceful Northern Kentucky stay with days exploring Cincinnati.
GUEST ACCESS
Guests have private access to the home's guest spaces and amenities throughout their reservation, including:
✓ 5 bedrooms
✓ 3 full bathrooms
✓ Main living room
✓ Second living area
✓ Full kitchen & dining area
✓ Game room with pool table
✓ Private seasonal swimming pool
✓ Deck & outdoor spaces

Great location for visiting the Creation Museum and the Ark Encounter. The pool was larger than I expected, and the perfect depth for our 8 year old and 11 year old (I estimate 4 feet deep).Everyone enjoyed the game room with the pool table and ping pong table top which fit onto the pool table.

We had a fantastic time! Matt was wonderful at answering all our questions and concerns with kindness and patience. We had a small maintenance issue and they had someone come out immediately. Would absolutely recommend! The house was clean and well maintained. The rooms were spotless and beds were super comfortable. Quiet neighborhood, close to shopping and stores. Weather was too cold for the pool but it hadn't been set up for swimming anyway so it all worked out. Thank you for hosting our 1st family vacation!!

Great communication when issues came up with the coffee pot, pool, and dishwasher draining leak.Couch in main living room was super low to the floor and very difficult for my elderly mom to get up from. Heck, all of us struggled. Cleaning wasn't top notch, but pretty good. The floor around the oven drawer pull out was filthy and gross, there was shredded cheese stuck to the wall behind the kitchen trash can, and the white painted mop boards throughout were showing dirt or fuzz. Floors were clean, and bathrooms and bedding were clean, however. It was nice, and communication was good. I just wish there had been a few nicer upgrades for the price that we paid. Definitely a nicer/sturdier couch and a coffee pot that only worked on the single cup lowest setting.

Checking in was a little confusing. We didn’t get a code 10 hours ahead or instructions on how to check in until we arrived. The house smelled clean & had ample bedrooms for our family. But the coffee pot didn’t work correctly & we had to go buy one. The dishwasher only worked a couple of times. There were no oven mitts & not enough dish rags/towels. 2 kitchen chairs had loose backs. The pool was nice but the gate was difficult to close. The “game” room had broken/missing things. Some of the towels were dirty. It was in a quiet neighborhood & close to the Ark & Creation Museum. Just needs some attention before the next guests.

The home was not near as nice as it was in the photos. Living room furniture and dining room chairs need to be replaced not in good condition. There was no access from the deck to the backyard pool and fire pit. Deck furniture was in bad condition one of the chairs broke when my daughter sat down and her leg was scratched up pretty bad. There were nine of us staying at the house and there were not enough towels in the bathrooms. We had to ask for more. The kitchen was not very well stocked with silverware. We had to go and purchase plastics wear so we all had forks and spoons. We have stayed at several other homes and this has been the worst experience.

Nice family house
This was a family vacation and we enjoyed staying at the house. It was clean the pool was very clean. I’m a senior citizen and I have back problems so I could not sit on any of the couches which were very low. Also, in the three bathrooms, there was only one hand towel. It would’ve been nice to have additional towels. Other than that, it was a great stay. I communicated with the owners and they were very cooperative and I would recommend the house for a family vacation.

Nice house
The house is very large and in a good, quiet neighborhood. The pool was in good shape. It did need some cleaning while we were there. The kitchen needed a few more cooking utensils but overall was fine. The oven needed cleaning. When we cooked in it you could smell the leftover drippings.
