Yes Dan was very welcoming, what stood out the most was the terrible weather while we were there. A foot of snow and cold. Dan helped make the stay enjoyable still. Snow was removed quickly. Dan went out of his way to get us a firestick so that we could watch an important bowl game. The ranch house was comfortable with everything you needed to stay for 18 days.

Very cute place in a quiet setting. VERY small town, so no grocery or convenient store. However, close to the highway and a short drive to whatever we needed. Worth the short drive to enjoy the quiet setting.

Relaxing stay in beautiful community

The location was amazing. We come for the Creation Museum and it was a short drive from the house. We loved that a park was just a couple of blocks away from the home and the kids loved playing there in the evening. The area was very walkable and it was fun walking to the view the river sunsets. Would recommend for families for sure.

10/10 would highly recommend

Everything we could possibly need was here! It was such a blessing of a place to stay with our family of 7 while we were on vacation. They thought of everything when supplying this property. There was even a pack and play for our infant, which was a huge blessing to help save on packing space. We will be recommending this property to anyone we know planning a trip to the Creation Museum / Ark or just needing a place to stay in that area.

About the host

Hosted by Dan Hitzfield

Host profile image
Dan and I live in Petersburg and choose to make this quiet little town our home. This is a great advantage to our customers for us to be so close. We can easily help you out with any of your needs or questions. We reside in the “Berkshire house” which was constructed around 1928 form the Brick of the old distillery building. Dan’s family has lived in Petersburg for 5 generations, so needless to say we are vested in our community. When traveling ourselves, we often stay in a vacation rental. We find this to be the best and most affordable choice for our family and we think that you will too. So we hope to welcome you to our community. Please feel free to contact us with any questions.


Sincerely,
Mary Hitzfield
