Convenience and comfort at First Farm Inn
	Two miles off Cincinnati's I-275 beltline, First Farm Inn 
offers two bed and breakfast rooms in a historic 1870s farm home. 
Our 21 acres are set in Kentucky's rolling hills above the Ohio River 
where Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio join.
	Relax under the open sky in the hot tub, fish in the pond, 
catch a rainbow from the stained glass windows, listen to rain on the 
tin roof, meet the alien in the kitchen, warm up beside the 
fireplace, or visit with the horses and neighborhood cows and goats. 
	Trade secrets on the porch swing (a good place for 
proposals…), hike the hills, explore the barns, paddle around the 
pond or track down the spring that feeds the creek. Rock and read on 
the veranda or stretched flat out in the hammock hung between huge 
maples in the front yard. 
	Play the grand piano or sit back and enjoy Dana’s frequent 
evening performances. Relax the old fashioned way with a wide 
assortment of card and board games or jigsaw puzzles.
	A half-hour away, downtown Cincinnati offers all the variety 
and excitement of a big city - art museum, professional sports, 
botanical gardens, zoo and more. Newport on the Levee dinning and 
entertainment district is also a half hour away. Indiana's riverboat 
casinos and Perfect North Ski Resort are 10-20 minutes west.
	Just down the road on the Kentucky side are historic Dinsmore 
Homestead, Big Bone Lick State Park (where the largest collection of 
mammoth and mastodon bones were found in the New World in 1740), 
Rabbit Hash General Store and more. 
Spacious Rooms
	First Farm Inn's spacious and attractive rooms have queen-
sized beds with private baths. Baths are accessible from inside the 
room. Rooms are furnished with chairs, lamps, dressers, blinds, 
oversize cotton bath sheets, quality linens, hairdryers, irons, 
ironing boards, ceiling fans, extra pillows, wine glasses, bottle 
openers, assortments of scented soaps, shampoos and extras of any 
toiletries you many have forgotten. A large video collection is 
available for guests’ use. The Treetops room has its own VCR, the 
1870s room has access to the one in the family room. 
	The house is air conditioned, although it is seldom needed 
with shade from the huge maples and top-of-the-hill breezes. The 
wood stove in the family room has a crackling fire most chilly 
evenings.
	The downstairs “1870s” room has tall windows overlooking the 
neighbor's pasture, a matching antique oak bedroom set that has been 
in Jen's family for four generations and quilts made by our great 
grandmothers. 
	The spacious upstairs "Treetops" room, perfect for a family 
or girlfriend’s getaway, features a queen bed, day bed and trundle, a 
cathedral ceiling and big two-part bath with oversized shower. Shade 
from the 200+ year old maples and breezes from the open windows 
combined with the spring green color and floral linens give the feel 
of sleeping in the treetops. The antique oak bed and oak washstand 
were originally owned by Jen's great grandparents whose photos are on 
the living room wall.. We've been told the oversized bath in this 
room was the site of the first indoor plumbing in the county.

Breakfast
	Guests choose from a variety of unusual and creative menus as 
well as healthier updates of old favorites served family style. Let 
us know if you prefer a special menu - vegetarian. low fat, low 
sodium, etc. We usually eat around 9, but adapt to guest preferences 
and schedules as much as possible. 
Massage Therapy
Make your getaway a real relaxation treat by scheduling a massage in 
your room. A licensed massage therapist, will come to your room and 
provide 30-minute or full hour massages. A short massage is $45, a 
single full hour is $70. Two hour-long massages are $120. A minimum 
hour-long commitment is required. Please schedule in advance as much 
as possible. People often relax better having massages in the 
evening, after dinner, so they don't have to dress and go out again.
Horsemanship Lessons Available
Eight friendly horses of assorted colors and breeds offer noses to 
pet and eagerly take carrots and apples from outstretched hands. 
During the two-hour horsemanship experience, you’ll learn grooming 
basics and help tack up. We help you mount and fit the saddle to you 
before heading to the riding arena where we work on becoming the 
horse’s leader and communicating when we want stops, starts and 
turns. Then we head for the hills, along the ponds and through the 
woods to see what kinds of farm animals, birds and wildlife we can 
find. The experience ends with removing tack, feeding treats and 
bathing or grooming, depending on the weather and the day’s schedule.
Please do not ask to ride if you weigh over 225 pounds or if you are 
not physically fit enough to get up on a horse. Anyone who is 
fearful may be led on horseback. Riding is physically strenuous and 
requires good posture, balance, concentration, thoughtfulness and the 
ability to listen.
Even the quietest horses can be unpredictable. By coming to the 
farm, you accept responsibility and all liability for your experience 
on the ground or riding. Please arrange riding in advance. You may 
bring carrots or apples as treats if you'd like. Overnight boarding 
is available.

Reservations
      Single night midweek prices are $117 and $126. Single night 
weekend prices are $126 and $135, plus local and state taxes.  That 
includes a bountiful breakfast for two and use of the outdoor hot 
tub.  
        Children, friends or pets sharing your room are $18 extra per 
night.  Well mannered kids and pets have a great time here.  It is 
not safe to let undisciplined children "run wild" on a farm or in a 
house furnished with antiques and art glass.  Bringing your child or 
pet implies consent to bill your credit card for any damages 
discovered after your departure (which is when we find them). 
       Please call between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m.  Checkout time is 11 
a.m. Check in is 3-8 p.m.  Exceptions made upon request.  We don’t 
allow indoor smoking.  Ashtrays are on the porch, patio & deck.  
Please ensure your cigarette butts don’t end up on the ground as they 
are not biodegradable.
      Our cancellation policy is refunded if rebooked.  That means 
you share the risk of leaving the room empty if you change your 
mind.  A booking is a commitment we keep to you, turning away others 
who would like to come on that date. Unlike big hotels, we cannot 
absorb late cancellations.
