Everything was great. The only complaint we have is the sleeping amenities. The pull out bed from the couch was not comfortable at all. You could feel the bar under the mattress even with a mattress topper. The main bed is very, very firm. Other than that it was awesome and would recommend anyone to stay.

My boyfriend and I was impressed by how lovely everything turned out to be. Our favorite part was the quiet at night, as it has been our most relaxed stay yet. We enjoyed making a fire in the fire pit and making smores together. Seeing the farm animals was awesome. Just an overall very peaceful time, thank you!

This cozy cottage was great for our family. We were in the area visiting the Ark Encounter and this “tiny home” was packed full of everything we needed to have a lovely stay. I highly recommend this cottage over any hotel for a family with small children!

The moment we pulled up we were surprised at how beautiful the property and setting was. It is so quiet and serene. The cottage was so clean and had everything we needed. Some added perks were the popcorn and ice cream for us to enjoy. The bed was comfortable and the shower was nice and warm. We were able to enjoy the fire pit and swing, watching the beautiful sunset. It was one of our most enjoyable stays.

We had an amazing experience staying at the Swiss Hills Cottage with my wife and two boys. Shelley and her family provided everything we needed and went above and beyond to make us feel like we were at home. The cottage is in an excellent location and so close to the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum. Plus, it’s on their beautiful farm which they take care of very well. Also, don’t forget to try some of Oakley’s famous cinnamon rolls! Hand delivered to your front door too. We’ll recommend this cottage to everyone and look forward to going back again.

This rental is perfect if you’re looking for a peaceful stay. The porch overlooks hills, there is a great view of the sunset, and cows are mooing in the background. The house itself is very clean and has everything you need. The host is excellent at communication and provides a list of things to do in the area and places to eat.

Awesome!!!

We stayed 4th of July weekend. We had a very peaceful and private stay. The country scenery was picturesque. The house had just enough room and was perfect for a older couple. We spent a lot of time on the porch just enjoying the sights and sounds of nature. We also got the benefit of watching fire works beyond the tree ridge. We spent the last night at a dinner cruise on the Ohio River cruising Cincinnati on one side and Kentucky on the other. The cinammon roles were delivered to our door from Shelleys 9 yr old son Oakley which were so good! A perfect 4th of July getaway.
