Dry Ridge Cabin | Cozy cabin 8 minutes from Ark Encounter!

2 Bedroom Cabin in Dry Ridge

This is a cozy little cabin just 8 minutes from the Ark. It has a loft with two twin beds, and a bedroom with vaulted ceiling and queen bed. It has a full kitchen (with all dishes included), as well as a full bathroom. Note that the wide angle lens used to capture the images of the inside of the cabin make it look slightly larger than it is.
The cabin is situated near the top of the property, which slopes down hill for 8 acres and ends at Boltz Lake. Guests are welcome to explore down to the lake and enjoy the beautiful nature scenery. Fishing is permitted at the lake with a fishing license that can be obtained at Walmart just 1.5 miles away. Within a short drive, a dock amd boat ramp are located on the opposite side of the lake. The property is in one sense secluded but, at the same time, only minutes from town and the highway.
Deer, ground hogs, and rabbits live on the property. We would love for you to enjoy them, while not scaring them! : )
All soaps, shampoos, blankets, linens, towels, and such are provided freshly cleaned for each guest. (We have put a lot of research into our linens. We do not think you will be disappointed in them.)
We are making available a $40 discount to anyone who would like to do their own cleaning. We have learned from our first cabin that our guests are almost always very clean. So, we thought we could offer to pass some savings off to our guests in this way. If you are interested in this, just mention it and we will send you the details, but, in short, you take the cabin as it was left by the last guests, changing your own linens out and any other cleanup you wish to do. We are seeking ways to keep our costs down for those guests who deem it worthwhile.
Also, the Creation Museum is 40 minutes away, and between the Creation Museum and the cabin is Big Bone Lick State Park. The Cincinnati zoo and other attractions are also around.
As a side recommendation, if this is your first visit to the Ark Encounter, we do recommend more than a day, if you are able. The Ark is so large, it can be overwhelming to take it all in in a day.
The property currently has another cabin that rents out as well (see pictures for cabin next door). If you are interested in booking them together, here is the link to the other cabin:

FOR THOSE WITH ANIMALS: "According to recent research, between 10 and 20% of the population worldwide are allergic to household pets such as dogs and cats. Any allergy-sufferer will know, it’s a long process to transform a property from pet-friendly to pet-free, as dander can remain long after pets depart." (From Lodgify) Our facilities are pet-free and we ask that anyone who desires to bring an animal seek out one of the openly animal-friendly rentals in our area so that those with severe allergies can come without endangering their comfort or their health. Thank you!

MELINDA G. Apr 17, 2025 06:39:19 PM
Summary: The cabin was clean and had everything we needed to feel right at home.
Tamara Apr 7, 2025 09:01:04 AM
Summary: This property should be advertised with “sleeps 2 adults & 2 children”. The loft has 2 twin mattresses on the FLOOR with 12” to 30” headspace from the ceiling while laying down. Also, there is no more than 35” clearance from the top of ladder to ceiling. The stairs are really steep… again, suitable for children, but not for adults.

Summary: Great little cabin for our two night stay! Host communication was great- easy check in. We used this cabin to experience the Ark :) would recommend- for littles the loft was a highlight for our kids- However just needed supervision up and down the stairs
Doug G. Jan 24, 2025 02:16:51 AM
Summary: Excellent place. The owner is out of town so you have to communicate with them before you arrive to make sure you get all the entry information.

Summary: ProsOur family stayed here to be close to the Ark Encounter and that absolutely met expectations! Kitchen is pretty well equipped with dishes. ConsYou would not be able to cook anything elaborate here as there are not big enough pots etc. I'm sure that's not important to a lot of people, but if you prefer cooking to eating out, this wouldn't be your place.There is no TV at all.There are 2 mini fridges instead of a regular sized fridge. The one we had milk in froze the milk. The single bathroom is tiny with barely enough room to turn around in the shower much less shave your legs. A larger person would have a hard time showering.The loft has no head room at all which looked a bit different to me online, but our 12 year old daughter slept fairly comfortably up there. I wouldn't recommend the loft for sleeping any adults.We couldn't figure out how to properly work the portable heater in the bedroom and I woke up sweating nightly.All in all, the cabin was neat, orderly and met our needs for a place to sleep close to the attractions we wanted to visit.

Summary: This cabin was perfect for our family who was visiting from Louisiana. We had a family of five and we slept comfortably. The host accommodated us very well. The cabin was very well stocked with everything we needed couldn’t ask for a better host would definitely recommend.
David B. Nov 14, 2024 01:58:23 AM
Summary: Nice little cabin. Fit our needs for an alternative to motel close to Ark Encounter. Pleasant country setting, but not too far from highway and restaurants, stores if needed. Be nice place for small family that likes cabin setting.
Susan W. Oct 22, 2024 05:31:14 AM
Summary: Our twin 9-year-old grandchildren said this was a fantastic vacation & loved their loft bedroom. Close to The Ark Encounter, Whispering Woods Horseback riding, & The Creation Museum. Also only half hour to Cincinnati airport.
Bryan C. Oct 19, 2024 01:58:38 AM
Summary: Easy to find, and everything we needed.
Erin B. Oct 10, 2024 10:44:54 AM
Summary: Quiet, close to the Ark, and easy access to all the dining facilities around.
