Circa 1870. Elegantly updated, this 1870s farm house and historic wooden barn with tobacco rails are located just outside Cincinnati and surrounded by 21 acres of rolling hills, ponds stocked with bass, centuries-old maple trees, gardens and horses. Situated above the Ohio River, where Kentucky joins Ohio and Indiana, city sites and country pleasures are equally accessible. Spend two hours learning about horses and riding one of the friendly equines. Lessons begin with grooming, working in the arena, then graduating to a trail ride around the farm, along the pond and through the woods. Schedule a massage with a licensed therapist in a spacious guest bedroom furnished with antique oak heirlooms. Indulge in a bountiful homemade breakfast of fresh fruit, assorted breads and an entree served family style around the big dining room table. Sit by the fire or play the grand piano. Relax in the outdoor hot tub; swing or rock on the veranda.
