Perfectly located between the Ark Encounter and the Creation Museum and the airport. The host had an emergency and hired a cleaning crew to come in before our check in. The cleaning crew missed a few things and I notified the host who was quick to respond and quick to remedy. We would definitely like to stay here again when we come back for the new attractions.

Was perfect for my husband and I to stay and have the opportunity to bring our fur babies with us. Due to an unexpected emergency back home we had to cut our trip short but we did get to go to the Ark Encounter. It was fabulous!

The host was very kind and allowed us to check in early after a 14 hour drive from Texas. The house was roomy enough for all 9 of us. Beds were very comfortable.

I’m confused by your poor review as you said everything went great, and we did let you check in early for no fee. You did not communicate any issues or problems throughout your stay or after.

Nice house and street to stay on.

Everything was nice, but very expensive.

Response from VrboOwner on Aug 26, 2023
I’m glad you liked the house. I find it a little odd to read your review considering you knew the total price at booking and there were no surprise charges. It may seem expensive you to with a smaller party but our house sleeps 10 people and hotel room(s) for 10 people would be a lot more than this private home with a full kitchen, living room, and fenced yard. I’m sorry you didn’t see the value in our listing, maybe a hotel would be a better fit in the future. Cheers!

Great stay for our visit to the Ark and Creation Musuem!

This house truly is the best location for visiting both the ark and the creation museum! It is smack in the middle of the two of them. The host was so nice and responsive - even had a brand new coffee pot shipped to the front door within hours of the one that was in the house breaking. We were so impressed by that! The beds are very comfortable and the pool was such a nice addition to our stay! The house is wonderfully stocked with all the basics and the check out process was the easiest of any VRBO we have ever stayed at!

Great comfy stay, close to ARK

This home was just like pictures, if not more! Our host was very helpful. We chose this home for the closeness of the ark and a youth conference we attended. We also took a trip to Cincinnati, which was amazing! I wouldn't change anything about this home because it was very clean, comfy, loved how "at home" it made us feel! If ever in this area again will definitely stay again! Neighborhood was also nice, beds slept amazingly!!!
