Cozy Cottage on Main. Halfway between the Ark and Creation Museum!

Welcome to The Cozy Cottage on Main — your relaxing, Kentucky escape right between the Ark and the Creation Museum! This charming, refurbished 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath retreat sleeps up to 8 guests, with a front porch perfect for morning coffee and a backyard fire pit under the stars. Close to shops, the Ark Encounter, Creation Museum & Cincinnati!

The property boasts:

A fully stocked kitchen for your homemade meals
.
A warm, welcoming living room with a comfortable sofa, throw blankets, books, board games, a Smart TV and original Kentucky horse racing photography.

Three dreamy bedrooms, each with soft linens and thoughtful touches:

The cozy downstairs bedroom offers a comfortable queen bed and a convenient half bath, plus thoughtful touches like a sound machine, box fan, and even a playpen to make little travelers feel at home.

Upstairs, one bedroom offers a queen bed while the other features a twin-over-full bunk with a pull-out trundle—perfect for families or groups. Both rooms are equipped with sound machines, box fans, and seasonal comforts like AC units in the summer and space heaters in the winter. A full bath is conveniently located between the two bedrooms.

Washer & dryer in the basement to keep things easy and light

Out front, a porch blanketed in blooms, during the spring and summer months, invites you to sip something warm, listen to the birds, and watch the soft bustle of Main Street. With a sweet little seating area tucked among the flowers, it’s the perfect spot for quiet mornings or golden-hour daydreaming.

Out back, a private fire pit waits beneath the stars. It’s perfect for marshmallows, stories, or simply breathing deep and being still. Throughout the day, a passing train rolls by just beyond the yard. It’s like an old friend traveling through time. Children wave. Adults pause. Everyone feels its wonder. For light sleepers or those sensitive to the train sound, we've thoughtfully provided box fans and sound machines to ensure a more restful stay.

The Cozy Cottage is perfectly nestled between some of the region’s most meaningful destinations:
Just minutes from Florence, KY—with its local charm and famous “Florence Y’all” water tower
25 minutes to the awe-inspiring Ark Encounter
20 minutes to the inspiring Creation Museum
Only 20 minutes from the energy and excitement of Downtown Cincinnati

Beautifully decorated and cozy. Having a half bath downstairs and the only full bath upstairs was a bit inconvenient but, all in all, a great property. Clean, well supplied, and comfortable. A lock on the upstairs bath would be a plus.
