Photos and Description of the Hebron vacation chateau / country house rental
3 bedroom, 3 bathroom A-Frame in four acre forest setting.

Visitors to the Creation Museum (just 4 miles away) who are looking for a quiet location where you can relax in a peaceful forest setting, will find that the newly renovated Still Water Retreat is your answer. It is hard to believe this location is just ten minutes from the Cincinnati Airport in Northern Kentucky.

Crestview Mall with department stores, specialty shops, and multiple restaurants can be reached in a 15 minute drive. A few exits beyond that will take you to the famous Newport Aquarium, Cincinnati Bengals football, and Cincinnati Reds baseball.

About Julie Seely

We retired to Kentucky's beautiful rolling countryside along the Ohio River in order to be near our many grandchildren. Remembering happy vacations with our 4 children, we wanted to create a fun property that could be used by families or small groups.

Julie Seely purchased this chateau / country house in 2012
Why Julie Seely chose Hebron

When the leaves fell from the trees last autumn, we caught our first glimpse of this abandoned house hidden in the forest less than a mile from our home. We loved it back to tranquility and have had a grand time here partying with our family.

What makes this chateau / country house unique

It was love at first sight when we saw this house nestled among the trees. It looked like an ideal vacation spot. Although run down at the time, we saw its promise and have spent the past year rebuilding it from the studs. We feel like we're living in the treetops as we look out the wall of windows or lounge on the decks. The all new kitchen and bathrooms and decor brighten the place for cozy comfort. It is quiet and secluded and yet only three minutes off the interstate and the Creation Museum.

If you are looking for a quiet location where you can relax in a peaceful forest setting, Still Water Retreat is your answer. While listening to the crickets and watching the deer come out to feed in the evening, it is hard to believe this location is just ten minutes from the Cincinnati Airport in Northern Kentucky and five minutes from the Creation Museum. Spacious work tables in lower level lend themselves to scrapbooking or quilting retreats in autumn and winter.

Crestview Mall with department stores, specialty shops, and multiple restaurants can be reached in a 15 minute drive. A few exits beyond that will take you to the famous Newport Aquarium, Cincinnati Bengals football, Cincinnati Reds baseball, the Cincinnati Zoo and multiple waterfront activities and attractions.

The Beach waterpark and Kings Island are a 30 minute drive north on I-71. And there is a public dock on the Ohio River in Petersburg, just ten minutes to the west.

This was our first time staying at this location but certainly will not be our last! This is a beautiful home away from home. The owners have thought of every detail to meet the needs of guests. I was especially appreciative of the well equipped kitchen. The beds were very comfortable. The views from every window are beautiful. Yes, I would recommend this property to others.
