IMPORTANT:
1- We provide a swing set for our younger guests' enjoyment. To ensure their safety, we require adult supervision at all times. Please note that injuries are the responsibility of the supervising adult, not the establishment. The swing set is suitable for children aged 3 to 8 years, weighing no more than 100 pounds, to prevent damage to the equipment. Any damages to the swing set will incur a replacement fee. We appreciate your cooperation in following these guidelines to keep a safe and fun environment for everyone.
2- Sweet Retreat is somewhat close to a train track, and while the sound is gentle enough not to disturb, it’s worth noting if absolute silence is crucial for your stay. Please keep this in mind when booking.

Wonderful Stay!

We 4 adults loved our long weekend at this lovely, comfortable house. It is beautifully decorated, thoughtfully equipped, and sparkling clean. Communications with hosts were easy and check-in and out instructions were clear and reasonable. It would also be great for folks with kids, as it includes baby/toddler equipment and a fun swingset in the ample yard. If we return to the area, we'll stay here again!

We were there to visit the Ark and my daughter who recently moved to the area. This was the perfect place! It was convenient to everything she wanted us to experience. It really does look like the pictures. It is super clean and well equipped. Everything we needed was already there. All three beds were very comfortable and we all slept well in them. The trains were not an issue for us. We had to listen for them and were not disturbed by them at all.We felt right at home here and will definitely stay again. I could go on and on about this place but everyone else already has and they were telling the truth!These people know how to run a vacation rental! There was not one complaint or suggestion made from our usually picky group.

Ark Encounter/Creation Museum

Perfect location if you’re looking for a place between the Ark Encounter and the Creation Museum! This place was very nice, very clean, well decorated and we’d stay again!A suggestion may be to put a shelf or two somewhere in the guest bathroom bc there’s not much room to put your things esp if you had 4 people sharing but overall very pleased.

We stayed just prior to the worst snow/ice storm in KY. Place was great. It had everything we could need or want. Wish we could have stayed longer. Unfortunately, we had to leave a day early to avoid highway shutdowns and the storm. Would definitely recommend and/or stay there again

Wonderful Trip

We stayed in this beautiful home and attended a Vacation Bible School conference at the Ark Encounter. The house is decorated so cute and looks just like the pictures. We had everything we needed and more. It exceeded our expectations. All the beds were so comfortable, in fact we had to see what kind of mattresses were on the beds so we could purchase one. The house is conveniently located in between the Ark Encounter, and the Creation Museum. Would would definitely stay here again.
