Granny’s House 2 bedroom, 5 miles to ark! Bonus walkthrough space with twin bed.

This house is 5 miles from the Ark and is 40 miles from the Creation Museum. We are only 32 miles from the Greater Cincinnati Airport. We are located right between Cincinnati Ohio and Lexington Kentucky, 2 miles of Interstate 75. There is a large lake located just 6 miles from the house.

Large old house that sits on an acre lot. The farm with House was purchased in 1943 by Cline and Pearl King. At that time they were told the house was 100 years old and with that being said it would have been built pre Civil War era. They named the road Kings Heights an in the 90s the city changed it to Kings Drive.
Over the years the farm land has been divided out. Part for other homes and what farm is left is owned by a private owner not a family member. The house over the years has had renovation inside and out but a lot of the old remains.
Now we are the Great Grandchildren and are giving others a chance to enjoy the old home and occasional beautiful sunrises and or sunsets.
Our customers tell us they can't get enough of this holiday home's great location. During your stay, you'll be close to Ark Encounter. Free WiFi and a kitchen are available in the holiday home.

We loved the grandma feel, and God’s blessings ar Lund the home. Larence introduced himself and it was reassuring that help was a door away and the owners just down the street. Will recommend this cottage and if I am blessed to come back(Ark exhibit) I will stay here again. Lovely, comfortable and felt like home

History House
This house is pre-civil war house. History just odes from it! The floors are original. The location is close to Cincy, Oh. and real close to the Ark Encounter. The bathrooms and showers are best we've ever had, including hotels and resorts. We'd stay here again if in the area.

Good Overall
The bathrooms need additional hand towels, more toilet paper and paper towels and the outside grill had so much caked on grease that it caught fire and was unsafe. Take care of these little things and the next guests will have an amazing stay.

Easy access to the highways & attractions. Anna & Jake are wonderful people. Anna is such a blessing to be around and learn many things about the history of Dry Ridge and Kings Rd. We will be back.

Excellent Stay/Great Price/Excellent Location For Both The Creation Museum & The Ark Encounter
The house was everything that we were looking for in our family trip. The Creation Museum is roughly 40 minutes away and the Ark is a 15 minute drive. Lots of great local restaurants to choose from for dinner. Lawrence has done a great job in keeping the atmosphere of the house like what we would expect from a house that his grandparents purchased in the 1940s. There is central air and WiFi available. I didn’t need to use the WiFi as the cell service was sufficient for what I was using my phone for. My wife and 2 adult sons used the WiFi. There was a guestbook to write about our experience. We had the opportunity to talk with Lawrence a couple of times and were able to listen to his stories not only about living with his grandparents for sometime while growing up. He also is a wealth of information about the history of the area. We plan on staying there again when we go back to The Creation Museum and/or The Ark Encounter.

“Authentic” experience
Authentic” review of Granny’s House. Overall: disappointed and disgusted. Unsafe, LOUD TRAINS ALL NIGHT and creepy. Don’t let the cuteness fool you. Some may say “quaint” I say Smelly and Old. Pre-civil war buil Upon arrival, the door had been left open (soon found out it was left open all night). Felt apprehensive to enter the home because it felt unsafe. Upon bravely entering, I did a hunt for hidden cameras and cleanliness. Found mouse traps and mice feces. Dirty couches and poorly completed “repairs”, and the wrong Wi-Fi code was left on a paper folder. When I called the owner (whom I could tell was very elderly), she informed me she doesn’t handle the bookings anymore and instructed me to go to the garage behind me to go see her brother Lawrence (WHO I LEARNED LIVES ON SITE) to resolve the Wi-Fi issue and MICE POOP cleanup. When I bravely went to visit the home of a stranger in a small town that flies TRUMP flags literally everywhere and still says COLOREDS” in reference to darker skin complexions, I met an 80-something old man who said to me in reference to the mouse poo, lack of security, and Wi-Fi “Welcome to the South”. He rudely said “Well I can give you your money back and you can go find somewhere else to stay”. Excuse me? I drove a very long way and refunds would not be instant, and I’d have no where to stay at all. No offer to come clean the poo or the couch, just a “it is what it is” and there was no fixing the Wi-Fi, and NO STREAMING TV avail anyways.

We enjoyed our stay so much! We booked so we could be close to the Ark Encounter (the Creation Museum is about 40 minutes away). Lawrence was wonderful and welcoming. We are so thankful we got to stay in a little sliver of history! We couldn’t recommend it enough.

A very pleasant stay
We were there to see the Ark Encounter which is only about 10 minutes from the property. As soon as we arrived we were greeted by the owner and someone who takes care of the property and they were the nicest people. We spoke for a while and we brought all our stuff in. The house is of the civil war era and it is very quaint. My son loved that he had a desk in his room and he had a bathroom all to himself. The house was clean and the WiFi was good. If we ever go back to the area we would definitely stay there again. Lawrence, the owner, was there when we packed up to leave and gave us a nice send off and made sure everything was OK and it was.

Loved Granny's House
My husband and I and our friends absolutely loved our stay here. The guys visited with Larry, (the owner of the property), every evening. We visited The Ark and the Creation Museum. Then the guys headed to the Air Force Museum while we ladies relaxed on the porch. The history of Granny's House is fantastic. Loved reading the news article about it's history. Great place. Well worth the stay
