Super clean and very quiet place to stay. Beds were super comfortable. Great place to stay if your family is wanting to visit the Ark. The convenience of Gas station and stores nearby was perfect. I highly recommend this place for your family’s stay.
We had a wonderful stay. Our hosts were so welcoming and provided delicious Kentucky treats! The home is very clean and well kept. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to stay near the Ark or Cincinnati.
Amazing rental property and great communication with the host. There was not a detail overlooked and the kitchen is fully stocked. Would definitely stay here again.
This cottage was very clean and nice with comfortable beds. It was decorated very nicely and had everything that you need. The location was great if you are visiting the Ark Encounter. The owners were great also! We would choose to stay here again.
This cottage is probably my favorite of all the places we have stayed that didn't have an ocean view. It was very clean and newly remodeled. The kitchen has everything you could possibly want and the beds are comfortable. There is nothing negative to say about our experience. I highly recommend this cottage to anyone visiting the area.
My husband stayed at the BlueGrass Cottage with another couple for a week while we enjoyed Kentucky, the Noah's Ark and Creation Museum and a trip to Cinncinnati. This cottage is without a doubt, the best rental I have ever stayed in. And my husband and I travel a great deal. It was clean, beautifully furnished. I knew we were in for a good time when we arrived, and there was a thoughtful welcome card and gift for us with locally sourced treats. This rental had every convenience you could think of provided for us to make our stay more enjoyable. Everything from bug spray to toilet paper, with a wonderfully appointed kitchen. We sat several nights enjoying the fire pit area, and our final night we cooked out on the grill. One night, we walked around the lake, which is just outside the back gate. If you are looking for a nice place to stay, look no further. Chris and Jen have thought of everything, so you can enjoy your stay.
