After a busy day, our family enjoyed this peaceful place in the rolling Kentucky hills to kick back and relax. The kitchen was well supplied with cooking utensils making it easy to prepare our meals and we enjoyed playing corn hole.

Great place to stay!

Holler Ridge was the absolute best place to stay on our visit to the Ark Encounter. Holly and her family were warm and welcoming. We felt right at home! The house is adorable with so many small details that make it special . Plus...bunnies and cows...too, too cute! It was tranquil and serene...we loved every second!

Our stay

We very much enjoyed the property, especially when the neighborhood was quiet. The only downfall being right on the road. Trucks going by are noisy and if you have the bedroom near the road….. Being close to the Ark Encounter was great. The owners are available, but not intrusive.

Wonderful!

This Countryside Inn was an absolute delight to stay at. It was very clean and well stocked with kitchen items, bath towels, coffee, and even s’more ingredients! The beds were very comfortable. We loved enjoying the beautiful and peaceful countryside. The host, Holly, was the most attentive and gracious host we’ve ever encountered. We would definitely stay at the Countryside Inn again and we plan on encouraging family and friends to do the same! Thank you, Holly!

Adorable

I have never stayed in a place that showed so much hospitality. Holly lives across the road from the rental and she saw us out and stopped to make sure we had everything we needed, and if we didn't, she insisted we make sure she knew. There were amenities at this place that made you feel like you were at home. Not to mention the place was so adorable. The kids, of course, loved the rabbits and the cows. A+ ratings on this for our family! Thanks Hess family.....

Excellent accommodations and host!

The barndominium was excellent! We were in the area to visit the Ark and Creation Museum. The property is a bit out of the way but the countryside makes for beautiful scenery while driving and staying. The house is very clean and well appointed. Holly and her son were both very hospitable. My sons' favorite part were the weeks-old bunnies! Highly recommend.

Comfortable and Close to the Ark

We were so impressed with the property. The house was very clean, and so warm and welcoming. The Christmas tree in the living room gave it such a nice touch. We were surprised with firewood and smores once we arrived. Our son enjoyed the inclosed play area and watched the bunnies each morning and night. Our host was quick to respond. It was a short comute to downtown Williamstown reaturants and The Ark Encounter.
