First Farm Inn

Repeatedly named “Best for Rest & Relaxation” and an outstanding small business in Northern Kentucky, First Farm Inn is an elegantly updated 1870s farmhouse. Set on 20 acres, it is just outside Cincinnati, Ohio, in Kentucky’s rolling hills where Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio join.

Spacious rooms have queen-sized beds and private baths. Bountiful homemade breakfast options vary from multigrain banana chocolate chip pancakes to pasta carbonara or Swiss Rosti.

Spend a morning or afternoon with the horses, learning how to communicate with them and how they perceive their world as you groom, tack up, school in the riding arena then tour the farm on horseback.

Relax under the open sky in the whirlpool; fish, row or paddle around the pond; rock on the veranda; or warm up beside the fireplace. Gift certificates. Perfect North Ski packages. Midweek, multi-day discounts.

A half-hour away, downtown Cincinnati offers all the variety and excitement of a big city – art galleries, museums, professional sports, botanical gardens, zoo and more.

“We appreciated the hospitality, friendliness & atmosphere of First Farm Inn. The home, grounds, people & animals are first-rate! Oh, the breakfasts also. Jen’s riding instructions & leadership helped we novices feel like horse people. The grooming & handling the tack was as much fun as riding. This was a perfect 3-day getaway.” Marion, OH
