Modern Farmhouse Cottage on 250 Acre Farm Near Ark: No Cleaning Fee!
Swiss Hills Cottage sits nestled on our 250 acre farm in Dry Ridge, KY. The interior is a thoughtfully designed modern-farmhouse-lover’s dream! Relax and enjoy beautiful sunsets, rolling hills, and peaceful pastures from the rocking chairs on our front porch OR from our beautiful fire pit. Take a leisurely walk and visit our friendly cows and goats. Conveniently located in Dry Ridge north of Williamstown, just 10 min off I-75 and 18 min from the Ark Encounter.
ABOUT OUR FARM: In addition to milking cows, we raise beef cows, alfalfa hay, pumpkins, and cut flowers. We operate a pumpkin patch (Country Pumpkins) from mid-September through October each year complete with hayrides, corn mazes, and u-pick pumpkins. In 2025, we planted a micro apple orchard which will produce in 2027
You can visit our curious cows and friendly goats on a leisurely walk. The cows are located in a field a short distance behind the cottage and the goats are in a field near our red barn.
OTHER AMENITIES / NOTES: Our private fire pit is cozy year round! It features seating for four (a porch swing and 2 Adirondack chairs) and a Solo Stove fire pit. Wood and fire starting supplies are provided. (Please note, the fire pit won't be available for bonfires if a "burn ban" is ever placed on our area. Rare, but it does happen.)
Children are welcome; however, please be aware the stairs to the loft are very steep.
This crisp, clean, modern-farmhouse cottage features shiplap walls and a 16' cathedral ceiling that makes the house feel larger than its 384 sq ft main floor plus 120 sq ft loft.
The house is strategically located so you can enjoy the best sunset view on the farm!
Main floor bedroom has a queen-sized bed with a memory foam mattress and cozy bedding.
There is also a full-sized sleeper sofa in the main living area.
The loft has another couch that folds down into a bed (futon).
***We have provided a twin-size 2" memory foam mattress topper to make the loft futon more comfortable for sleeping.***
Extra bedding, pillows, towels, hand soap, dish soap, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and hair dryer are provided.
Things to do in Northern Kentucky: Country Pumpkins Fall Festival. 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, Riverbend Music Center, Cincinnati Museum Center, shopping, and dining experiences.

Thoroughly enjoyed our time at this cabin! Easy to communicate with the host. We liked being able to look out the window and seeing the cows! Cabin was clean. The cinnamon roll was delicious!
Our stay was absolutely wonderful, so quiet and peaceful sitting out on the porch or by the firepit. We enjoyed our time so much, perfect for a nice little get away for a couple or small family. The hosts son has a small side business making homemade cinnamon rolls, we ordered a couple and they were so delicious. A big thank you to the family for sharing their property with us.
