Cordova Farmhouse - 7 Minutes from Ark!

Summary
Wake up to morning fog rolling over Kentucky horse country. Our remodeled 3BR/2BA farmhouse sits on 1.5 acres just 7 minutes from the Ark Encounter. Sleeps 11 — king suite, two upstairs bedrooms, and a kids' bonus room. Wood-walled kitchen, dining for 8, cozy living room, breakfast nook, and a back deck overlooking hills and horses. Keyless entry, fast WiFi, fire pit. Everything you need, nothing you don't.

The Space
This isn't just a house that happens to be near the Ark — it's a place worth staying in on its own. The open-concept main floor connects the kitchen, dining area, and living room so families can spread out without being separated. The vaulted cedar ceiling in the kitchen is the kind of detail that makes people put their phone down and look up.
The fireplace mantle and built-in bookshelves anchor the living room. The king suite is on the main floor with its own closet and access to the full bath. Upstairs, two more bedrooms and a bonus room give kids and larger groups plenty of space. The back deck faces west — grab a chair and a cup of coffee and watch the fog burn off the valley in the morning.

Guest Access
The entire house, yard, deck, and fire pit are yours for the duration of your stay.

The Neighborhood
Your nearest neighbors are horses and rolling hills. The property sits in quiet Grant County farmland — dark skies, no traffic noise, the kind of stillness that's hard to find anymore.
That said, you're not far from anything:

Ark Encounter parking lot: 7 minutes
Dollar General / gas station: 5 minutes
Walmart, Starbucks, Cracker Barrel, fast food: 15 minutes
Local favorites: Beans Café, Kelly's Homestead, Moon Birds, Belles BBQ
Also a great base for the Creation Museum, Kentucky Horse Park, Bourbon Trail, Cincinnati events, or weddings at The Josephina Event Venue

A local recommendations handbook is in the house with our picks for coffee, brunch, and dinner.

Getting Around
A car is essential — this is rural Kentucky. But the tradeoff is worth it. You're 5 minutes from basic supplies and 15 from anything you'd need. The Williamstown exit and Ark Encounter parking lot are a straight 7-minute drive.

Interaction with Guests
We're based in Cincinnati, about 45 minutes away. We have a local cleaning team and maintenance contact available if anything comes up. We're also reachable by message anytime.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio. There's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a sofa bed, and a coffee maker.

The drive from Canada was worth it!

The property is gorgeous and the house is beautiful and full of character. There was plenty of space for us and our 5 kids. We enjoyed using the fire pit in the evenings. The yard has a beautiful view, and is nice and quiet while still being close to everything we needed. Would definitely reccomend to others!

Great little farm house

We loved the views! It was so peaceful. And the horses were very friendly with the kids. There were 6 of us and we had plenty of room for everyone. The kitchen was perfect for making meals and everything we needed was there. They have a nice little coffee/tea bar that was a great little touch. One thing I will mention for others visiting with older family members is that even with a bedroom downstairs I would not recommend for someone with difficulties walking. There is a long gravel walkway which was tough for my mom (She’s 81) and the step up to the porch is a bit higher than normal. We were able to make it work but it’s just something to. be aware of. Great house and plan to visit in the future (without mom).

Just perfect

We had a wonderful time with 5 of our grandchildren ages 4-11. The house is quaint and great spaces to be alone or big areas to watch tv and play games. The big yard was great for the kids to run around. The hilltop views of the rolling hills and sunsets were a huge bonus. We couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Absolutely amazing view and house!

We couldn't have asked for more relaxing and hassel free accommodations. There are no neighbors right against this property. It is very quiet with a spectacular view of the hills and the neighbors pastures filled with plenty of cattle, horses, and a donky. Everything in the house was in perfect working order. We had no problem getting in through the programmed lock. The kitchen is spacious with plenty of counter space to prepare meals. The rooms are all nice size and do not feel cramped at all. There is plenty of water pressure, beds ranging from super soft to firm and extra air conditioning or heating options upstairs. I had no problem keeping the house at a very comfortable temperature. There are fans upstairs to use also and some downstairs windows have screens so you can open them and enjoy fresh air. The wifi worked great for watching tv or using my phone. There was no buffering at all. The house is exceptionally clean and well maintained. It is within 15 minutes of stores and gas stations. It is obvious that the host puts a great deal of care and thought into making sure the house has most anything you could need and that everything works as it should.I hope others get a chance to enjoy this home and view as much as we did. . . .

Huge Potential!

We enjoyed our short visit to Kentucky, and the stay at this charming house was good overall. Everything worked well, such as the showers, toilets, etc. The fridge was clean, which was great! There are a few things that would turn this property into a gem and prevent us from giving 5-stars: The house was not as clean as we would expect, with cobwebs in various places, the windows and sills were dirty, and the floor must not have been mopped since the previous visitors a few days prior. Things were dusty, and we found empty water bottles and garbage underneath the second-floor beds. We suggest getting a pair of scissors and some cooking tongs, as well as providing an outdoor tote that contains some paper, kindling, and a lighter! We got a nice campfire going, but I had to head over to Dollar General for some cardboard, a local newspaper and a BBQ lighter. Our daughter was disappointed that the flashlights were dead and there were no extra batteries. :) It's the little things that set the great apart! We suggest adding a gas grill to the property, which would be a huge plus! There was a charcoal grill, but I didn't want to go and get a bag of charcoal, grill brush, lighter fluid, etc., for just a couple of dinners. Keep working on the property, and it will be a fabulous spot!

Perfect home for families

This house was the perfect place for our larger group! The kids all looked forward to all the room to run around after long days of travel as fun at the Ark encounter and creation museum. The kids especially enjoyed having their own space to all sleep together in the bonus room. Nothing can beat the view sitting on the back deck though. That was the cherry on top! We also all enjoyed a beautiful rainstorm sitting on the from porch and watching it roll in. Would recommend to anyone looking to stay in the area
