The location was magical! We loved feeling like we were in the middle of the country, but we were only 20 minutes from the city with all of the many things Cincinnati has to offer, 5 minutes from a grocery store and restaurants, and 35 minutes from the airport. Our grandkids loved all of the animals and the swing set. The hot tub, pool table, air hockey and video game were a hit! The cabin was really clean and felt very homey! We loved it!

The cabin was absolutely gorgeous! The property is so well manicured and tidy. We had such a great time with our family for two nights. The decor was nicely done, and the furniture was so comfortable the people that manage this property were exceptional, at returning responses to questions asked.

Great stay at Branch Hill Cabin! The grandkids loved the sleeping quarters in the loft. We enjoyed the beautiful horses and all the barnyard animals on the property. The catch and release fishing pond was a real hit. Thank you for a hosting our family.
We have stayed here twice now and each time it's been great. We live locally and it's perfect to invite friends in from out of town. We love it!

Wonderfully peaceful stay!
We had a wonderful time at Branch Hill Cabin. Our littles enjoyed with awe the variety of animals. The cabin was cozy, clean and well stocked! Lovely memories were made over our Thanksgiving trip.
Would love to stay here again. A nice oasis outside of Cincinnati. Was the perfect spot to celebrate the bride to be!

Branch Hill Delights Again
Our group of tennis fanatics have stayed numerous times at Branch Hill on our annual Cincy Tennis excursions and keep coming back. This time we got special treatment from all the animals: donkeys and the affectionate kitty on the front porch, horses galloping and ducks floating by as we hung out around the pond. The cabin is so comfortable and accommodated our 13 perfectly. We definitely plan to return (the dozen fresh eggs in the fridge are always an added bonus).
We had a wonderful stay at Branch Hill Cabin. The cabin itself is gorgeous, with plenty of room for our extended family, and the grounds are lovely as well. The owners were extremely welcoming and friendly. We would love to stay here again.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review of your stay, Holly! We loved the opportunity to host your family here at Branch Hill Estate and we hope that you will come back and stay longer next time.
We really enjoyed our time at the cabin and while it looked like the place was under some remodeling it still was beautiful inside and comfortable to stay in for the four days we were there. Communication was stellar.

We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay, Christa! Yes, the lower level is being finished (currently advertised as unfinished) to give our guest's another King bedroom suite with full bathroom and an expanded game area! We can't wait to be able to offer our guest's another wonderful area to enjoy during their stay at the cabin. We wish you the best in your future travels!
This is a great hideaway just minutes from everything. We took advantage of the farm-fresh eggs left in the fridge and had an amazing breakfast.

This was a friends reunion getaway. Great cabin close to Cincinnati, Great for families too with the hot tub and pool table and air hockey table. The 3 bathrooms was tight for a large group but other than that, we had a great time.

Wonderful as always!
This is our third time staying at a Branch Hill Estate property. Once again our experience was top notch. From the communication, cleanliness, amenities…. everything is 5 star!
Our kids are already asking to go back. Branch Hill Estates will definitely be one of their core memories! Thanks for another great stay.
Wonderful weekend getaway with plenty of room and amenities. The owner was wonderful, and we were able to see the farm animals up close! Everything we needed was provided. Great place for our girl weekend! Would recommend to anyone!
