This was a perfect getaway for my family from MI and MD to meet halfway for the holidays! We truly enjoyed our stay! It was the perfect amount of space, the beds were comfortable the living space was great for games and movies and opening gifts!
This cabin has everything! Great location, close to town but still secluded feeling, roomy and comfortable, peaceful, fire pits are amazing!! Great for a quick get away!!
The host was very quick to reply, house was spotless, cozy, peaceful and the beds were comfortable. Very pet friendly and the host left a very nice basket of goodies for us when we checked in. We will definitely rent this property again!
My family came over from Switzerland for a family reunion after over 19 years of us not all being together. We planned it over the last 2 years & this retreat was exactly what we needed! I am so happy with our stay that I wish we could have stayed longer! Thank You!! It is a memory we will never forget!
Property was very nice just as described. Owner was easy to get in touch with also. Love that it was so quiet there. Our family loved the pond and the fishing and the paddle boat.
Our family had a wonderful New Year's Eve vacation at the cabin. Some went to Perfect North, others shopping, but we all gathered for dinner and card games in the evenings, while kids enjoyed movies in the basement and the guys had football going in the living room. It was really great!
Timber Frame Country Retreat is a perfect location for to visit both the Creation Museum and Arc Encounter. Terri was wonderful to work with and always immediately available for any questions or help. Well appointed and super clean. We had two couples, but could have accommodated four couples very well. Highly Recommended!
We had a wonderful stay here. Thank you so much for letting us rent this retreat. We loved the atmosphere. The scenery was very picturesque.
We initially had plans to visit other area attractions, but quickly changed our plans to spend a couple days relaxing in the beautiful scenery and enjoying all the activities at the retreat!
The whole family had a blast fishing! The paddle boat was also a hit. The fire pits were perfect for making s'mores.
This place truly felt like a home away from home!
We traveled to Kentucky to see the Ark encounter and creation museum and this was the perfect spot between both attractions! Florence was also very easy to get to for groceries and other needs! The fishing pond and fire pits were a hit! The owners were very responsive when I had questions as well! The home was so warm and inviting and very clean with plenty of amenities and was fully stocked. My 5 year old son loved all the board games and the house was very accommodating with a pack and play and infant tub for the baby!! Can not say enough about this home! Also had a short drive up to Cincinnati for Italian at "Scotties" it was soooo good!! We will definitely be back!
We decided to reserve this particular property after searching online for several hours, looking for just the right property for our family. We were very happy upon arriving at this lovely home! The pics and description you will see online are accurate. The home was very clean, well maintained, and had every convenience you could possibly need when staying at a home away from home. The guys enjoyed fishing in the well stocked fish pond while the ladies and kiddos enjoyed reading on the deck, watching a movie on one of the flatscreens and snacking in the well appointed kitchen. There was plenty of room for four adults and two kiddos to have our own space. The gravel driveway is easy to navigate, the property is situated in a private, quiet development about 15 minutes from Florence (where you will find lots of shopping, restaurants, etc) and you are about 30 minutes from either the Ark or Creation Museum. We found this to be a super convenient location yet we felt like we were truly away from it all when we returned home in the evenings. This property is the perfect retreat spot. We highly recommend this lovely home for your next adventure when visiting the Ark Encounter, Creation Museum or simply needing a nice place to stay near Florence, KY. Thank you to the hosts for sharing this lovely property!
Walking into Ms. Terri’s cabin was like being welcomed in by a beloved family member. She’d set up a welcome basket for us with a sweet card and tons of snacks. The cabin was immaculately cleaned, decorated so cozy, and stocked with anything we could have needed. It really did feel like we were visiting that aunt that has everything you could need and more. We forgot a pack and play for our 2 year old… she had one. I forgot to iron one of my shirts.. she had and iron and and ironing board. I got a stain on said shirt… stain remover was in the laundry room. And let’s not forget the view. Wow…. Pictures don’t do it justice. The cabin is perfectly tucked away in the woods but we were still only 13 ish minutes away from a Kroger and such in town. Just the perfect stay!
