Description Description
❤️ What I Love About Poolside Paradise — and Why You’ll Love Staying Here
What makes Poolside Paradise special is simple: the house becomes part of your vacation.

Spend the afternoon swimming in your private pool, challenge the family to a game of pool in the game room, spread out between multiple living spaces, relax on the deck, and finish the evening gathered around the fire pit.

And when you're ready to explore, you're staying in Walton, Kentucky, about 20 minutes from the Ark Encounter and conveniently located for trips to the Creation Museum, Northern Kentucky, Florence, and Cincinnati.

With 5 private bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, and accommodations for up to 12 guests, there's plenty of room for larger families and groups to enjoy the trip together without feeling crowded.

Whether you're planning an Ark Encounter family vacation, Creation Museum trip, multi-generational getaway, summer pool vacation, family reunion, or Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky weekend, Poolside Paradise gives you the space and amenities to make the trip memorable.

📍 PRIVATE POOL
The private swimming pool is one of the biggest reasons to choose Poolside Paradise.
Spend warm Kentucky afternoons swimming, let the kids cool off after a day of sightseeing, or simply relax poolside while everyone enjoys some downtime.
Instead of having to plan an activity every minute of your vacation, you can come home from the Ark Encounter or Creation Museum and still have something everyone looks forward to.
The pool is not heated and is seasonally available from Memorial Day through Labor Day.

📍 GAME ROOM + SECOND LIVING AREA
Ready for some friendly competition?
Head downstairs to the dedicated game room and rack up a game of pool.
The nearby second living area gives your group another comfortable place to relax and provides valuable extra space when you're traveling with up to 12 people.
Kids can hang out downstairs while adults relax upstairs—or bring everyone together for a family pool tournament.
Between the game room, private swimming pool, fire pit, deck, and multiple living spaces, there's plenty to keep everyone entertained even when you're not sightseeing.

📍 OUTDOOR LIVING
Some of the best parts of a stay at Poolside Paradise happen outside.

Enjoy:
✓ Private seasonal swimming pool
✓ Spacious deck
✓ Outdoor seating
✓ Fire-pit gathering area
✓ Backyard space

Start your morning outside with coffee, spend the afternoon swimming, and finish the evening around the fire pit talking about the day's adventures.

It's a setup that works especially well for families who want a combination of sightseeing and relaxing at the vacation home.

📍 LIVING ROOM
The bright, open main living room provides a comfortable gathering place for your group.
Sink into the spacious sectional, watch a movie or favorite show on the TV, or simply relax together after a full day exploring Kentucky.
The open-concept layout flows naturally into the kitchen and dining area, allowing everyone to spend time together even while meals are being prepared.

📍 KITCHEN + DINING
The spacious kitchen is fully equipped for preparing everything from a quick breakfast before the Ark Encounter to a family dinner at home.

You'll have:
✓ Stainless-steel appliances
✓ Full-size refrigerator
✓ Range & microwave
✓ Dishwasher
✓ Stone countertops
✓ Generous prep space
✓ Cookware & dining ware
✓ Kitchen island seating
✓ Dining table with seating for 6
The open layout makes it easy to cook, eat, and spend time together without separating the group.

📍 5 PRIVATE BEDROOMS | SLEEPS 12
One of Poolside Paradise's biggest advantages is the ability to accommodate up to 12 guests across 5 private bedrooms.

Bedroom 1 — King Suite
1 King Bed
Private ensuite bathroom

Bedroom 2
1 Queen Bed

Bedroom 3
1 Queen Bed

Bedroom 4
2 Queen Beds

Bedroom 5
1 Full Bed

This sleeping arrangement works especially well for large families, multiple families traveling together, grandparents traveling with children and grandchildren, and groups visiting Northern Kentucky together.

Instead of booking multiple hotel rooms, everyone can stay under one roof while still having private bedrooms.

📍 3 FULL BATHROOMS

With accommodations for 12, having 3 full bathrooms is another major convenience.

The home includes the primary ensuite plus two additional full guest bathrooms, helping everyone get ready more efficiently before heading out for the day.

📍 PERFECT FOR FAMILY & GROUP TRIPS
Poolside Paradise was made for groups who want to spend time together without being on top of each other.

You'll have:
✓ 5 private bedrooms
✓ 3 full bathrooms
✓ Sleeps up to 12
✓ Private swimming pool
✓ Game room with pool table
✓ Second living area
✓ Full kitchen
✓ Fire pit
✓ Outdoor deck
✓ Washer & dryer

There's space to gather together—and space to spread out when everyone wants some downtime.

📍 YOUR HOME BASE FOR THE ARK ENCOUNTER

If you're coming to Northern Kentucky for the Ark Encounter, Poolside Paradise gives your family much more than somewhere to sleep.

The Ark Encounter is approximately 20 minutes from the property according to the current listing.

Spend the day exploring the Ark, then come home and:
✓ Jump into the private pool
✓ Play pool in the game room
✓ Cook dinner together
✓ Relax across two living areas
✓ Gather outside around the fire pit

For larger families, that's a completely different vacation experience than returning to several separate hotel rooms.

📍 VISITING THE CREATION MUSEUM

Planning to experience both the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum?

Poolside Paradise makes a comfortable home base for a multi-day Northern Kentucky vacation.

After exploring the Creation Museum, return to Walton and enjoy an evening at the house rather than searching for another activity.

Having 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a full kitchen, private pool, and game room is particularly useful for families spending several days in the area.

📍 EXPLORE NORTHERN KENTUCKY + CINCINNATI

The Ark and Creation Museum may bring you to Northern Kentucky, but there's much more to experience while you're here.

Popular destinations include:
✓ Ark Encounter — Williamstown
✓ Creation Museum — Petersburg
✓ Florence shopping & dining
✓ Newport Aquarium
✓ Newport on the Levee
✓ Downtown Cincinnati
✓ Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden
✓ Great American Ball Park — Cincinnati Reds
✓ Paycor Stadium — Cincinnati Bengals
✓ TQL Stadium — FC Cincinnati
✓ Cincinnati Museum Center
✓ Over-the-Rhine
✓ Findlay Market
✓ Washington Park

Cincinnati is currently described by the listing as less than a 30-minute drive, while Florence is approximately 10 minutes away.

That gives you the flexibility to combine a peaceful Northern Kentucky stay with days exploring Cincinnati.

GUEST ACCESS
Guests have private access to the home's guest spaces and amenities throughout their reservation, including:
✓ 5 bedrooms
✓ 3 full bathrooms
✓ Main living room
✓ Second living area
✓ Full kitchen & dining area
✓ Game room with pool table
✓ Private seasonal swimming pool
✓ Deck & outdoor spaces
✓ Fire-pit area
✓ Washer & dryer
Driveway parking is available for 2 vehicles.

This house was a great place to spend time as a family. The location was right, it had space for everyone, the pool was a huge hit. We loved our time there.

The place was very nice. Tons of room for everyone. (8 in our party). The grass could have been cut before we checked in They could step it up a little with things like better pillows, fix cabinet doors and a couple janky chairs in the kitchen. But other than that, all was good. The pool was awesome, location was close to lots of amenities and the weather was very accommodating. I'd give it a solid 4.6 stars. Only because nobody is perfect. Thank you

Great communication when issues came up with the coffee pot, pool, and dishwasher draining leak.Couch in main living room was super low to the floor and very difficult for my elderly mom to get up from. Heck, all of us struggled. Cleaning wasn't top notch, but pretty good. The floor around the oven drawer pull out was filthy and gross, there was shredded cheese stuck to the wall behind the kitchen trash can, and the white painted mop boards throughout were showing dirt or fuzz. Floors were clean, and bathrooms and bedding were clean, however. It was nice, and communication was good. I just wish there had been a few nicer upgrades for the price that we paid. Definitely a nicer/sturdier couch and a coffee pot that only worked on the single cup lowest setting.

Checking in was a little confusing. We didn’t get a code 10 hours ahead or instructions on how to check in until we arrived. The house smelled clean & had ample bedrooms for our family. But the coffee pot didn’t work correctly & we had to go buy one. The dishwasher only worked a couple of times. There were no oven mitts & not enough dish rags/towels. 2 kitchen chairs had loose backs. The pool was nice but the gate was difficult to close. The “game” room had broken/missing things. Some of the towels were dirty. It was in a quiet neighborhood & close to the Ark & Creation Museum. Just needs some attention before the next guests.

Great location for visiting the Creation Museum and the Ark Encounter. The pool was larger than I expected, and the perfect depth for our 8 year old and 11 year old (I estimate 4 feet deep).Everyone enjoyed the game room with the pool table and ping pong table top which fit onto the pool table.

We had a fantastic time! Matt was wonderful at answering all our questions and concerns with kindness and patience. We had a small maintenance issue and they had someone come out immediately. Would absolutely recommend! The house was clean and well maintained. The rooms were spotless and beds were super comfortable. Quiet neighborhood, close to shopping and stores. Weather was too cold for the pool but it hadn't been set up for swimming anyway so it all worked out. Thank you for hosting our 1st family vacation!!

The house is very beautiful! The only bad thing was that I rented it for the game room and the billiards cue are in very bad condition and I couldn't play. Also the ping pong table is in bad condition the rackets

This house was gorgeous! There were a few things that had been damaged from a previous guest that had not been fixed, but I communicated those things with our contact, and they were prompt in responding. When we started to take showers that night the main drain had two cracks in it and started leaking into the basement. So we were unable to shower/bathe that night. They did offer to send maintenance out at 10p, but we have smaller children and did not want to be up that late waiting on the fix. \n\nThey were very prompt in responding to all inconveniences we ran into with the facilities, and we would stay with them again because of that, which is why I gave them five stars. \n\nAs a home owner you can't always prepare for things breaking, I would not want to lower someone's score because of this, especially when they worked diligently at making us comfortable. I appreciate solid communication, and this place had it! \n\nI would definitely recommend staying here in the future.

Check in process a little cumbersome and first time I’ve had to use an automated system to capture a picture of my ID. But other than that, everything was great! House is as advertised and well stocked. Check out process was very easy and host checked in on us a couple of times to make sure things were going well.

We greatly enjoyed our stay. House was great for our family. The pool was closed for the fall/winter season. Really quiet neighborhood. Two bedrooms were on the ground level and two bedrooms were downstairs. Great dining room and living room.

We really enjoyed our time here. The house was cozy, clean, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location was ideal — only about 20 minutes from the Ark Encounter and 30 minutes from downtown Cincinnati. We visited in the fall, and the scenery was beautiful. I can only imagine how amazing it would be in the summer! Would definitely stay here again.

We had an issue with the complicated coffee maker that kept giving us error messages. We communicated with Matt several times and he responded promptly and offered suggestions. We were able to fix it somewhat but it kept having issues. I’d say the over all stay was excellent except for the ongoing coffee machine issues.

Great location but wish they would have told us the pool wasn’t open. Also, make sure you bring baby gates if you have small children, 100% needed for the open stair case and fire place!

While the owner was responsive, maintenance is badly needed. From the outdoor balcony which was littered with food, inoperable outdoor umbrella, patio screen off track, replaced garbage disposal, fixed dishwasher, broken bath towel bar. Baseboards were dirty as well as bathtub baseboard. Never found the pool cover which we inquired about prior to our stay.

Lots of room in the house, pool was crystal clear. Close to amenities.A few things needed some work and entire house could use some tlc for minor things like toilet paper holder in master was missing, fridge filter needs replaced, coffee maker not working. Also could use a deep clean, fan blades dusty, bottom of fridge need some love. Ants in the kitchen.

Truthfully, was a beautiful place and we had so much fun. The rooms were nice and it was clean!! The only thing I didn’t like was after we booked and two days before our stay we got sent a very long message of things/rules that I wish I would of known way before booking but we still made the most out of it. It was a great location if you’re going to the ark and I’d definitely recommend going to the Cincinnati Zoo!! This place is right in the middle of both so about the same drive to either and they both were amazing!!

This was a family vacation and we enjoyed staying at the house. It was clean the pool was very clean. I’m a senior citizen and I have back problems so I could not sit on any of the couches which were very low. Also, in the three bathrooms, there was only one hand towel. It would’ve been nice to have additional towels. Other than that, it was a great stay. I communicated with the owners and they were very cooperative and I would recommend the house for a family vacation.

The host sent me a 7 page 2,700+ word very specific instruction that threatened numerous fines for poor behavior. The message would crash my app when I would try to read it. Throughout the 3 day stay the host messaged me non stop on the app as well as my personal phone number to the point it was distracting from vacation. The host gave very specific instructions but then would text my personal number with different instructions entirely. Overall the host made vacation feel more of a chore than a relaxing time.

The house was very clean and having all the toiletries supplied was a huge plus. The beds are not made for tall people though. Very low to the floor and so is the sofa. The sofa definitely needs to be replaced because it sinks down when you sit on it. Kitchen could use a couple extra pots and pans and a larger skillet. The neighbors were all very friendly with us! Great location for a quiet stay.

The property is great - as is the location. Upon arrival though, we noticed several things out of sort. About a half cup of dry rice in the lower cabinets, soy sauce throughout the utensil drawer, and the utensils in the drawer had food stuck to them. Im giving 4 stars because the property manager was very responsive and offered to correct it quickly. We decided to do a quick tidy up and take care of the inconvenience. The neighbors are wonderful and the location is great if you have a family.

We stayed with my extended family for a couple nights and I have to say the place is very very nice. Rooms are great, there is a games room that the kids and youth enjoyed. Very nice kitchen with lots of open space for dining a big party like ours. The host was always responsive and that helped as I had a couple of doubts. The neighbourhood is very quiet so if you are looking for a peaceful stay, this place is great. Only thing is if you’re coming in the cold months, bring extra blankets.

Enjoyed the stay for our family of 12. Plenty of space and beds. Large table for us to have meals together. Time of year did not allows the opportunity to enjoy the pool but we had lots of fun playing board games and card games. Grandson playing billards. Would recommend it for anyone that is looking to see the Ark and Cincinnati Zoo. Easy drive to both.

It was dry & clean, but it needs maintenance. Some issues were small, like closet and cabinet doors that don't close correctly, a broken leg on a chair (in one of the bedrooms), and an open wiring box in a bedroom wall (containing a coaxial cable), while others were annoying like not having any controls for the kitchen ceiling fan and the kitchen light being very dim. Despite our reservation being for seven people for four nights, they didn't stock enough paper or soap products for that time span, so we had to ask for more. All those items were bad enough, but the two deal breakers were these: first, the master bathtub is not usable. When we filled it and tried to get in, the whole tub flexed and squeaked because it's not supported properly, so we drained the tub and didn't use it again. Second, between the driveway and front door is a large jimsonweed plant. Jimsonweed is incredibly toxic. This property needs attention before it can get five stars from me.

The only complaint is the house was not stocked very well. There were not enough towels, no laundry supplies, nothing to make coffee other than a K-cups and we had 8 people staying. Also, the beds are really low to the floor. Other than that, the house was clean and spacious. Teresa Evans

Spacious bedrooms for my work to team to stay. Gave everyone plenty of privacy. The 3 bathrooms were a nice convenience as well. Stocked kitchen with everything needed to cook and/or prepare meals.
