Property is second floor garage apartment requiring one flight of steps for access, well lit deck porch around entrance allows for after dark arrival. Surroundings are a working sheep farm with shepherding canine on duty, several out buildings and the owner's residence. Large, private, not included in rental, pond/lake on site - attractive for migrating and local, resident waterfowl for ornithologists. Also there is an active free range chicken flock with chicken coop complex on site with a nice assortment of various breeds. Owner allows feeding of the chickens and geese on request, and fresh eggs are available for purchase when available. Owner maintains a private household garden in season, visible from apartment deck. Property is well appointed, plenty of kitchen equipment and dishes/glasses, good streaming/internet access, definitely clean and quiet. Best breakfast in Walton is Kelly Q's - try the cousin of Philadelphia scrapple - goetta with your eggs & pancakes. Bonus audio assets - Morning rooster calls and periodic train whistles from an isolated freight line about a mile away for railroad enthusiasts. Nothing better than hearing a train when you come from an area which lacks that traditionally rural sound.
Great location near the Creation Museum...the Ark Encounter...and more. Very clean and comfortable and well stocked. So peaceful. Iwners are incredibly responsive and kind.
My family were hoping to get a good peaceful week away from home and that’s what we got. Grocery stores are less than 10 minutes. The ark and Cincinnati are a short (30 min) drive. It is a Fantastic spot.
enjoyed our stay. Near the places we were visiting. Quiet. Had all we needed, even farm fresh eggs provided by host.
Perfect location to visit both the creation museum & the ark encounter. Very clean, nicely decorated, beautiful setting, quiet. Great communication.
Truly a wonderful place to stay halfway between the ark and the Creation Museum would recommend to anyone super clean. We will recommend this to anyone we know that plans on coming to the ark and the Creation Museum. One of our favorite things was saying good morning to the chickens, and the fresh chicken eggs Emily and Joe left for us so delicious. Thank you for sharing your little Slice of Heaven. Blessings on you and your family. Bob and Karen
Overall had a very pleasant experience staying here. Very clean, great communication, easy access to the highway and essential stores for supplies (and coffee). Good food within 10 minutes as well. 30 minutes to Ark or Creation Museum!
The property is amazing the rental is clean and has everything you could possibly need. Emily, Joe and their kids are friendly and kind. It was a perfect Oasis for our vacation.
This place was in a quiet location and was very peaceful. The hosts were accommodating and helpful during our stay.
My family and I really enjoyed our stay. The home was beautiful and extremely clean! Everything we needed was there for us. During our stay we visited the Ark Encounter and Creation museum - the home location was perfect! We even got to feed the chickens and ducks. Emily and her family are lovely and we would love to come back to Bluegrass Blessings if we visit again.
