Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Michael Clary
Hello there! We are Michael and Laura Clary. Michael is a pastor at Christ the King Church in Fort Thomas, KY. Laura is a nurse who works for a crisis pregnancy center. We have hosted hundreds of people for short or long term stays in our home over the years, so showing hospitality is in our blood. We love creating places for people to enjoy time together, laughing, and making new memories.
Why they chose this property
We chose this area because it reminds me (Michael) of the rolling hills of West Virginia where I grew up. This house is a place of rest and prayer from the busyness of ministry life. And it's great being so close to the Ark Encounter. Almost all of our guests are Bible believing Christians!
What makes this property unique
This house is an old, renovated farm house with lots of character. The view from the back deck is so quiet and peaceful, and we love to pet the horses that live on the farm next door when they're out.
