A fantastic stay

Stayed here for a family wedding. The house has beautiful hardwood floors, antique pieces, and a large living room with the most comfy couches. It has so many touches like coffee and snacks. It was very well furnished with extra sheets and towels. Check in and check out were easy. I would stay here again.

We went to the ark and creation museum and this is where we spent the night in between. The home was just as picture and had everything you could think of for comfort. We also met the owners who were so pleasant and eager to want to help should we need anything. We had an amazing night!

Family wedding weekend stay

Had a nice stay. Appreciated the ‘extras’ made available - snacks and coffee in the kitchen. The kids toys and games were a big hit!! Would be nice to have a few extra towel bars or hooks available in the bathroom. Park nearby was terrific. Unfortunately the house is located on a busy (loud) street…

Family wedding in Kentucky

Quaint little home. It’s location was very convenient for all of my family’s event. One suggestion I might add is to have some sort of small table or shelf in the main bathroom so guests can have a place to set their small personal items (toothbrush, hairbrush, contact lense cases, ect). The neighborhood is quite.

Wonderful, spacious, and clean

This place was absolutely spotless. We had everything we could possibly need and more! I liked that after a long day of travel we were able to go straight there and get inside securely without having to arrange a time to meet with the owner to gain access. I cannot say enough about how homey and clean this place was. We felt as if we were staying at grammas house. Just lovely! I cannot say enough good things.

Home like.

After a long day at the ark encountered, it was so much more refreshing to step into a home with our children where they could unwind without being crammed into a motel room. Our kids really enjoyed the toys and games that were available. We would definitely stay again if the opportunity arose.
