Little House on Dairy- Near Ark- Feed Grain to Calves and Goats

Welcome to Alpine Hills Swiss Haven. If you love the outdoors, bring your family for a relaxing stay in our country home. We are located on a 250 acre dairy and pumpkin farm. The house is surrounded by beautiful farmland, overlooking a valley with roaming beef and dairy cows. Sit on our swing or at our fire pit and watch the amazing sunset. We are only 18 minutes from the Ark and 40 minutes from the Creation Museum.
We provide free tickets for our guests to Pumpkin Ridge during our Country Pumpkins Fall Festival. September 7th thru October 31st.

Sleeping Arrangements Include:
- Main Floor Bedroom with Queen Bed
- 2 Full Beds in the Loft
- 1 Couch that folds down into a bed (futon) on the Main Floor



Enjoy our new fire pit which is shared with another vacation rental on our property. Please bring your own wood and fire starting supplies.


Children are welcome; however, please be aware that the staircase to the loft is very steep. The loft includes two full beds.

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 selling milk directly to herd share members.

Country Pumpkins is our annual fall festival that begins September and extends through the end of October with pumpkins, hayrides, corn mazes, and all the good, clean family fun you can imagine! We are offering free passes to Pumpkin Ridge for the families staying with us during these dates.

The tiny house was perfect for our trip to the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum. We had a disabled veteran who needed a recliner to sleep so the reclining couch was perfect for him. The bedroom was perfect for our elderly friend who joined us and I was able to sleep upstairs. We were able to get some groceries and have breakfast on the porch and enjoy the sunsets on the swing. We loved being on the farm and off the beaten path. Perfect distance from both the Ark and museum. We loved being treated like we were family at the pumpkin events every night. And THANK YOU for providing a shower chair for my husband to be able to shower. You thought of all the little things and the stay was one we all will never forget. Only 2 small suggestions. 1. As a disabled veteran, my husband would love it if you could get a light on the flag that you have outside. 2. Please have some kind of floor grips in the shower, it was a bit slick when all wet. God bless you all! It was a perfect stay and we will be recommending it to all our friends who want to visit the Ark.

The Little House on Dairy was conveniently located between the ARC Encounter and the Creation Museum. We enjoyed our quiet, peaceful evenings after visiting both. The view was wonderful, and we enjoyed our morning visits from the cows. The house was cozy and met all of our needs. Thank you for being so prompt in fixing our air conditioner situation. We enjoyed our relaxing stay!!

Don’t wait-book now!! It’s amazing!

Amazing place to stay! It’s right in the middle of the Ark Encounter and the Creation Museum, has the most beautiful view, a play set for kids to play on, the owner is SO kind and let our kiddos feed the calves and goats, and is so peaceful. Everything was very clean which is a huge deal to me! Would definitely recommend! The mini golf nearby was fun as well! Would recommend eating at Fords Garage, Hansie Flip Burger, Whippy-Dip, the Kentucky Y’all Icebox (AMAZING ice cream).

Amazing View!

We SO enjoyed our stay! The view was extremely beautiful. We stayed in mid-May and got to see not only cows, goats and chickens on our drive onto the property, but also a large variety of wildlife. Several species of songbirds, wild turkeys, rabbits, squirrels, and even got to hear coyotes in the distance one night. There were several species of wildflowers to be spotted as well!The cabin was clean and excellently stocked. Having laundry on-site was very helpful. The host was great at communicating and quick in responding. We would 100% stay here again. responded quickly.

Cozy Cabin on the Farm
