First Farm Inn

Riding can be a magical experience for kids. Learning to control a 900-1,300 pound animal and sitting nearly 6 feet off the ground can be a real thrill. Evaluate your child's maturity level carefully when you schedule riding. We've had 12-year-olds who had extreme difficulty while mature five-year-olds did well on their own horse with a lead-line held by the instructor staying with the rest of the group on the trails. Younger kids don't have the balance and control of their own bodies yet to ride by themselves. A respect for animals, good listening skills and a significant attention span are necessary to enjoy the riding experience. Our dog and kitties are very child-friendly as well. - Two nights with one horseback ride for four $504 - Two nights with two horseback rides for four $702 - Three nights with one horseback ride for four $630 - Three nights with two horseback rides for four $820

Get a group of girlfriends, sisters, cousins, bridesmaids or a combination together and come to First Farm Inn for a country escape weekend. Arrive Friday afternoon or evening and rock on porch or sit by the fire and catch up on the girlfriend news. Wake to a tasty homemade breakfast, then head out to the barn to ride the horses. Visit in the outdoor hot tub with your favorite beverages. Sunday morning will bring another great breakfast. $163 per person for 3 to 6 people.

Learn to ride in Kentucky's horse country. At First Farm Inn you'll learn how to communicate with your trusty equine friend and convince all 1,000+ pounds of him to do what you want. Then we ride over the hills and through the woods keeping an eye out for other wild and domesticated creatures. Rides generally only include up to five riders and one or two instructors. After you make your horse comfortable, you can stretch out and watch the sun set from the outdoor hot tub. Wake up smelling the delicious all-you-can-eat breakfast. Then take the horses out again and practice the new skills your body has integrated during the night. Two midweek nights with breakfast, use of the hot tub, two horseback rides for each of you are only $414 in the 1870s room, $432 in the Treetops room. Weekends $434 in the 1870s room, $450 in the Treetops room.

Spring will be even more spectacular at First Farm Inn in 2012 with the addition of our “Cool Blue Garden” created from stumps and rocks collected on the farm.  While 100s of daffodils have always surrounded the house and yards, we’ve divided them and planted LOTS of new varieties of crocuses, hyacinths, and interesting colors and textures of plants in the yards around the house to create an even showier display.

Need an early spring fix?  Breathe in the flowers at Eden Park’s Conservatory – and take time to enjoy the dessert wing, rainforest wing, orchid room and bonsai room.  Use one of those first sunny days to explore Boone County’s Arboretum. Cincinnati’s Flower Show is always fun, as is a walk around the incredible Spring Hill Cemetery.
