Charming Cottage on Dairy Farm Near Ark: No Cleaning Fee!

Swiss Hills Cottage sits nestled behind a cow pasture on our 250 acre farm in Dry Ridge, KY. Relax and enjoy beautiful sunsets, rolling Kentucky hills, and peaceful pastures from the rocking chairs on our front porch OR from our beautiful fire pit. The interior is a thoughtfully designed modern-farmhouse-lover’s dream! Toward the front of the farm we have added a new parking area where you can stop and visit with our friendly goats. Conveniently located in Dry Ridge north of Williamstown, just 10 min. off I-75 and 18 min. from the Ark Encounter.

Come enjoy our fire pit addition! It features seating for four (a porch swing and 2 Adirondack chairs) and a Solo Stove fire pit which is easy to start and has minimal smoke. We provide enough wood and fire starting supplies for one fire. (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 brand NEW 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 toppers if you'd like to add it to the loft futon to make it more comfortable for sleeping.***

- Extra bedding, pillows, towels, hand soap, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and a hair dryer are provided.

- You'll travel back a mile gravel lane to reach the tiny house nestled in a former cow pasture on our 250 acre dairy and beef farm. Parking is a gravel pad with turn-around near the house.

Our Farm is home to two family-owned businesses - Alpine Hills Swiss Farm and Country Pumpkins Fall Festival. Alpine Hills Swiss Farm has been in operation since 1947. Milk was sold commercially for many years, but is currently a small herd-share operation milking 8-12 cows daily and selling milk directly to herd share members.

Country Pumpkins is our annual fall festival that begins mid-September and extends through the end of October with pumpkins, hayrides, corn mazes, and all the good, clean family fun you can imagine!

Things to do in Northern Kentucky: 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.

40th anniversary
We loved our stay. A beautiful homestead & wonderful views. The tiny house was better than we imagined it could be. Thoughtfulness of the hosts was above & beyond too. If you want to visit the Ark or Creation museum, this is a great place to stay - you won’t be disappointed.

Peace and quiet
If you like to hear crickets and birds but no road noise, you will love this place. The house is awesome, everything looks brand new, nicely decorated, very clean. The rocking chairs on the porch makes me think that Andy and Opie may be coming by. But the best part was the landscape and how peaceful it is.
