About this property
The Third Monkey 2 Miles from Ark Encounter
Welcome to The Third Monkey
You may be curious about the name “The Third Monkey.” It’s inspired by an old saying: “Never seek out a fight, but if you must fight, fight like you’re the third monkey on the ramp to Noah’s Ark… and brother, it’s starting to rain.” This sentiment, emphasizing determination and resilience, felt perfectly fitting given our proximity to the Ark Encounter. Just as the third monkey was ready to fight for a place on the ark, we are dedicated to ensuring your stay is nothing short of excellent. We’ll strive to provide the best experience possible, resolve any unexpected issues, and continuously improve based on your feedback. We encourage you to share your thoughts on what you enjoyed, what could be improved, and any suggestions you may have to enhance future stays.
Location:
1.7 miles from I-75
2.4 miles from the Ark Encounter
40 miles from the Creation Museum
40 miles from Cincinnati, OH
40 miles from Georgetown/Lexington, KY
80 miles from Louisville, KY
Whether you’re visiting the Ark Encounter, exploring the Creation Museum, experiencing the Bourbon Trail, or simply enjoying the local area, we hope you choose The Third Monkey House as your home away from home.

About the host
Hosted by Lance Deters
Hello and welcome! I'm originally from St. Louis, Missouri, but I made the move to Kentucky in 2015. I live here with my wonderful wife and our three kids—two girls and one boy. When I'm not spending quality time with my family, you’ll likely find me out on the golf course, enjoying a round with friends.
We love to make our guests feel at home, so you can expect a welcoming, comfortable space where you can unwind and enjoy your stay. Whether you're here for a quick getaway or an extended visit, I’m happy to offer a place where you can relax and create memories.
Looking forward to hosting you!
