Lunar Haven – Gorgeous 5 BDR Just 25 Min from Ark Encounter!

A relaxing escape with a touch of excitement is what awaits you here in Walton, a friendly community offering a delightful blend of small-town charm and convenient access to the greater area’s most popular attractions. Lunar Haven is a picturesque 5-bedroom home seated within a new housing development just on the outskirts of the city, a private oasis to help you unwind from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. There may be one gigantic reason for your travels to this area, however, and if that’s the case, you’ll be delighted to find yourself just 25 minutes away from the spectacular Ark Encounter. This one-of-a-kind biblical themed attraction is such that a description just won’t do it justice – you simply must see it for yourself! Visitors from all over the world come to see this amazing, man-made wonder, and we can assure you that you will not be disappointed by what you find.

When you’re ready to venture out away from the home, Cincinnati city life is less than a half hour drive north where you can catch a sports game, visit a historical museum, book a tasting at a bourbon distillery, shop to your heart’s content, or plan evening meal at one of the eclectic local restaurants. If you prefer to stay a little more local, the city of Florence is the perfect in-between compromise, only 10 minutes from the home and offering its own desirable selection of shopping and dining.

After your adventures, come back home to Lunar Haven to enjoy a quiet glass of wine on the deck or a meal al fresco on the patio, gazing out at the peaceful surrounding landscape while soaking in that fresh country air. Indoors, soaring vaulted ceilings sit atop spaces designed for relaxation and connectivity, where contemporary furnishings meet chic décor to elevate not only the environment but your mood as well. Sink into plush sofa or armchair seating in the living room while you stream episodes of all your favorite shows on the mounted smart TV. The showpiece fireplace serves both form and function, keeping you toasty during the cooler months. Thanks to the open layout, the kitchen is just steps away, showcasing stainless steel appliances, glossy stone countertops, and sleek cabinetry stocked with all the comforts of home. Gather the whole crew for dining at the formal table with seating for 8 alongside serene views of the great outdoors.

This home sleeps up to 12 guests between 5 private bedrooms.

Bedroom #1 includes a queen size bed.

Bedroom #2 includes a king size bed and ensuite bathroom with a single vanity and shower/tub combo.

Bedroom #3 includes a king size bed, smart TV, and ensuite bathroom with a single vanity and walk-in shower.

Bedroom #4 includes a queen size bed.

Bedroom #5 includes a twin-over-twin bunk bed and a queen size bed.

The home also includes 2 additional full guest bathrooms, the first with a single vanity and walk-in shower and the second with a single vanity and shower/tub combo.

THINGS TO NOTE:
• Washer and dryer in home.
• Driveway parking available for 2 vehicles.
• This home is equipped with two (2) external security cameras. The first is located on the front porch, actively monitoring the walkway and a portion of the driveway. The second is located on the back side of the home, actively monitoring the stairs to the deck.

Less than 30 minutes outside of Cincinnati, this is the perfect location for those seeking access to metropolitan activities while staying in a rural community with serene landscapes. This home is within easy reach of some of Cincinnati’s most popular attractions like the Bengals Stadium, Riverfront Park, and Great American Ballpark. Beyond this central area, there’s still so much more to explore. From Cincinnati’s street art revolution which has transformed neighborhoods with 180+ public murals, to its serious beer culture, revitalized historic neighborhoods with trendy shopping and dining like Over-the-Rhine, and authentic Art Deco architecture and design, this culturally diverse city is a can’t-miss destination.

Back on the Kentucky side of the river, you’re in prime Bourbon Trail territory. Check out distilleries and sipping points where you can sample Northern Kentucky’s bourbon, often paired with traditional southern foods. From Walton, you’re also within an hour of other major metropolitan centers Louisville and Lexington. Make day trips to explore these urban areas, while the home gives you the best of both worlds with its peaceful, countryside setting.

Five Stars and the Ark!
Literally a brand new home, with plenty of room for a large gathering. We had 12 in our party and this was our hub for visiting the Ark Encounter. Five stars all around, clean, bright beautiful home in a nice subdivision.
