Charming Cottage on Pumpkin Farm Near Ark: No Cleaning Fee!

Swiss Hills Cottage sits nestled behind a cow pasture on our 250 acre farm in Dry Ridge, KY. Relax and enjoy beautiful sunsets, rolling Kentucky hills, and peaceful pastures from the rocking chairs on our front porch OR from our beautiful fire pit. The interior is a thoughtfully designed modern-farmhouse-lover’s dream! Toward the front of the farm we have added a new parking area where you can stop and visit with our friendly goats. Conveniently located in Dry Ridge north of Williamstown, just 10 min. off I-75 and 18 min. from the Ark Encounter.

SPECIAL STAY & PLAY PROMOTION! When you book dates between September 7th - October 31st, you will receive FREE passes to our Country Pumpkins fall festival located here on our farm. We will provide "Pumpkin Ridge Passes" for your whole family which includes access to our petting zoo, giant slides, mini maze, Fairy Tale Trail, Pumpkin House photo spot, Loft Indoor Play Area, and our NEW Adventure Barn!

Fall is also the perfect time to enjoy our private fire pit!
It features seating for four (a porch swing and 2 Adirondack chairs) and a Solo Stove fire pit which is easy to start and has minimal smoke. We provide enough wood and fire starting supplies for one fire. (Please note, the fire pit won't be available for bonfires if a "burn ban" is ever placed on our area. Rare, but it does happen.)


- Children are welcome; however, please be aware the stairs to the loft are very steep.

- This crisp, clean, modern-farmhouse cottage features shiplap walls and a 16' cathedral ceiling that makes the house feel larger than its 384 sq ft main floor plus 120 sq ft loft.

- The house is strategically located so you can enjoy the best sunset view on the farm!

- Main floor bedroom has a queen-sized bed with a memory foam mattress and cozy bedding.

- There is also a brand NEW full-sized sleeper sofa in the main living area.

- The loft has another couch that folds down into a bed (futon).

- ***We have provided a twin-size 2" memory foam mattress toppers if you'd like to add it to the loft futon to make it more comfortable for sleeping.***

- Extra bedding, pillows, towels, hand soap, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and a hair dryer are provided.

- You'll travel back a mile gravel lane to reach the tiny house nestled in a former cow pasture on our 250 acre dairy and beef farm. Parking is a gravel pad with turn-around near the house.

Our Farm is home to two family-owned businesses - Alpine Hills Swiss Farm and Country Pumpkins Fall Festival. Alpine Hills Swiss Farm has been in operation since 1947. Milk was sold commercially for many years, but is currently a small herd-share operation milking 8-12 cows daily and selling milk directly to herd share members.

Country Pumpkins is our annual fall festival that begins mid-September and extends through the end of October with pumpkins, hayrides, corn mazes, and all the good, clean family fun you can imagine!

Things to do in Northern Kentucky: The Ark Encounter, Creation Museum, Kentucky Horse Park, Turfway Park (horse racing), horse farm tours, Big Bone Lick State Park, Williamstown Lake, Boltz Lake, shopping, and dining. We are just 45 minutes from Cincinnati, OH where you can enjoy Reds games, Bengals games, Cincinnati Cyclones Hockey, the Cincinnati Zoo, the Newport Aquarium, Riverbend Music Center, Cincinnati Museum Center, shopping, and dining experiences.

Fabulous Gem!
This of all the places I have ever stayed was my absolute favorite! Every detail was perfect, personable, and classy vintage. It had all the nostalgia I wanted to give my kiddos, and the host was so hospitable. The stay was so wonderful! I hope to go back and just sit in this cute little cottage - I came from a long ways away and I would do it again in a heart beat to stay here, the only thing I would change is more time just sitting and enjoying my time there (I had planned a lot of activities!) It was so perfect!

So Perfect
It not very often i meet someone that has a similar mindset to mine. This host thought of everything. I loved the fact that they had padding to use for the pullout bed. We all know sofa beds are not the most comfortable and they took this into consideration. Extra blankets and pillows- awesome. The whole set up this family is running is really amazing. The area and views are just perfect fornthat get away. Thank you so much for making available your property. God Bless

If you like to hear crickets and birds but no road noise, you will love this place. The house is awesome, everything looks brand new, nicely decorated, very clean. The rocking chairs on the porch makes me think that Andy and Opie may be coming by. But the best part was the landscape and how peaceful it is.
