Host was very welcoming and made sure we were well taken care of! The house was exceptionally clean, stocked with everything we could possibly need, and very cozy. Great stay!
We had an absolutely amazing stay at this VRBO rental! From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The home was spotless, beautifully decorated, and incredibly comfortable—truly felt like a home away from home.The amenities were top-notch, and every detail had clearly been thought through. The kitchen was fully stocked, the beds were super cozy, and the outdoor space was perfect for relaxing after a long day. The location was also ideal—close to everything we needed, and perfect.location for anyone visiting the Ark encounter or Creation museum.Communication with the host was seamless. They were friendly, responsive, and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience.We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a perfect getaway!
I would absolutely recommend this property! You can tell that the owner put a lot of thought into furnishing and stocking the unit. The kitchen was the most well stocked rental we have ever stayed in. The location is absolutely perfect. 20-30 minutes from the airport, Ark, and Creation museum (kinda in the middle of all of them) 5 minutes from a grocery store and other shops. It is an ADORABLE historic home. The only warning I have is that all of the bedrooms are upstairs and the stairs are very steep. The floors slant in certain places like all historic homes. Little kids that are new to walking or people with borderline mobility issues might have a hard time.
This home was just as listed. Really neat house nicely re-done and updated. Nice little living room space for TV time. We didn’t use the kitchen but it was really nice . All bedrooms were very nice. Both bathrooms were clean and updated as well. Outdoor space was really neat just too cold when we were there to enjoy it. As listed there is a railroad track behind the home but wasn’t a reason not to stay there in my opinion. We visited the Ark encounter and the Creation Museum during our visit and this home is located between the 2 and close to Florence for plenty of dining and shopping choices .
We were in town for just a short weekend, but we would definitely go back and stay again. It’s beautifully decorated and thoughtfully appointed. The only problem with 6 people staying is that there isn’t indoor seating for 6 to eat.
The property was amazing. Comfortable beds, roomy and located perfectly between the Ark Encounter and the Creation Museum. We did hear the train, but it was not a big deal. Kinda cool actually. If we ever get that part of the country again, we would ABSOLUTELY stay at this rental again.
All of us were very impressed with our stay at this property in Walton. It was perfectly situated for our trip to the Creation Museum and the Ark Encounter. The house was very well equipped, super organized and very clean. We really liked the fact a restaurant was just a short walk away.
Beautifully remodeled historic home with charming farmhouse vibe, super clean, safe location, all appliances in working order, and hosts thought of EVERYTHING! We enjoyed our stay immensely; the property exceeded our expectations. We would definitely stay here again.
Nice house with easy access and good parking. Beautifully decorated with nice rooms sizes with all bedrooms on the second floor. Beds were very comfy. Overall we had a very nice stay during our visot to the area. It is very close to train tracks but they were not overly loud as they went by.
Excellent accommodations.Well stocked kitchen for families.The only downfall are the many trains crossing multiple times a day.Overall it was a great stay!
We were looking for a location between the Ark Encounter and the Creation Museum, and this fit the bill. We have no complaints and would stay here again.
We had an amazing time at this property! From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The house was clean, well-equipped, and beautifully decorated, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere. The location was perfect – close to the Ark exhibit. We would definitely book again.
