About this property

Little House on Dairy- Near Ark- Feed Grain to Calves and Goats

Welcome to Alpine Hills Swiss Haven. If you love the outdoors, bring your family for a relaxing stay in our country home. We are located on a 250 acre dairy and pumpkin farm. The house is surrounded by beautiful farmland, overlooking a valley with roaming beef and dairy cows. Sit on our swing or at our fire pit and watch the amazing sunset. We are only 18 minutes from the Ark and 40 minutes from the Creation Museum.
We provide free tickets for our guests to Pumpkin Ridge during our Country Pumpkins Fall Festival. September 7th thru October 31st.

Sleeping Arrangements Include:
- Main Floor Bedroom with Queen Bed
- 2 Full Beds in the Loft
- 1 Couch that folds down into a bed (futon) on the Main Floor



Enjoy our new fire pit which is shared with another vacation rental on our property. Please bring your own wood and fire starting supplies.


Children are welcome; however, please be aware that the staircase to the loft is very steep. The loft includes two full beds.

Our farm is home to two family-owned businesses -- Alpine Hills Swiss Farm and Country Pumpkins Fall Festival. Alpine Hills Swiss Farm has been in operation since 1947. Milk was sold commercially for many years, but is currently a small herd-share operation selling milk directly to herd share members.

Country Pumpkins is our annual fall festival that begins September and extends through the end of October with pumpkins, hayrides, corn mazes, and all the good, clean family fun you can imagine! We are offering free passes to Pumpkin Ridge for the families staying with us during these dates.

Things to do in Northern Kentucky: The Ark Encounter, Creation Museum, Kentucky Horse Park, Turfway Park (horse racing), horse farm tours, Big Bone Lick State Park, Williamstown Lake, Boltz Lake, shopping, and dining. We are just 45 minutes from Cincinnati, OH where you can enjoy Reds games, Bengals games, Cincinnati Cyclones Hockey, the Cincinnati Zoo, the Newport Aquarium, Coney Island, Riverbend Music Center, Cincinnati Museum Center, shopping, and dining experiences.

Spring Break

Cutest cabin on a beautiful piece of property with perfect sunset views. Cabin was clean and well stocked. Owners are quick to answer any questions. Property is close to everything but private and secluded at the same time. We'll definitely be back!

What a beautiful place to unwind and relax. Such awesome hosts and a beautiful view off the porch. Close proximity to a lot of attractions. Seems so far away from anything, but yet close to restaurants and conveniences if you need them.

A slice of heaven!

In our too-short overnight stay, we were very impressed by every aspect of our experience. The cottage is clean and cozy, and the location is beautiful! It’s an easy drive off the interstate, so perfect for a place to stay a night or have a longer getaway.
