Perfect for Families!

We stayed here for a trip to the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum. The property could not have been more perfect for our family of 5! It was ideal location, close to both attractions and also plenty to do/eat nearby. We weren’t able to enjoy the backyard much due to weather, but plan to book again when warmer. So we can.

Perfect location and set up

We traveled to the area to visit the Ark/Creation museum, perfect location, close to the airport and to Cincy. Hosts were easy to communicate with, property was spacious, comfortable, clean and had every amenity needed. Highly recommend and will be back when in the area next.

Great Stay!

We loved our stay at this location! The playground was awesome for our kids, unfortunately the weather was too cold for them to really enjoy it. You have to watch for the driveway, it was easy to miss just because of the busy street out front, but once we found it, it was great. House was awesome. Perfect for our family. Recommend this location for your family getaway!

Great central location

This home was beautiful with plenty of room for our large family. The kitchen had everything we needed. Beautiful back yard with playset for the kids. Mild downside was closeness to street and could hear cars driving past but the family did provide earplugs in each room. We would definitely stay here again :)

Fabulous!

Wow! Tara and Josh‘s property was fabulous! Everything was totally clean, well stocked, and the accommodations were bright, cheerful, and very spacious. We had plenty of room to stretch out and have family time with all nine of us. On our last day, we had eight cousins come over for a short visit, and they all thoroughly enjoyed the HUGE backyard, especially the basketball court! Josh and Tara were fabulous hosts and were immediately available and SO accommodating with any needs that we had. We would DEFINITELY stay in this home again! It was fabulous!

Comfortable with everything we needed

Traveling with young children isn’t always easy, but the Backyard Wanderland had everything we needed and more to make it a comfortable and enjoyable stay! The backyard was incredible, the house and property and everything inside are managed beautifully, and my kids didn’t want to leave at the end of the trip. We plan to come back to visit the Ark and Creation Museum again, and would stay and this beautiful home again as well. Thank you for a great visit to Kentucky!

About the host

Hosted by Josh & Terra

We're Josh and Terra. Family of six. We love creating spaces where large families can create memorable experiences together.

Why they chose this property

This was our personal home for many years. We lovingly restored it as we raised our 4 young children. They loved to play in the backyard, imaginations running wild. We knew it would be the perfect spot for other families who wanted a place to stay where the kiddos could play outside while still being close to many nearby attractions.

What makes this property unique

The inside is carefully crafted with all the little touches you don't normally see in a vacation rental. You instantly feel cozy. Meanwhile the outside is loaded with fun things to do all within a fenced-in space. Playgrounds, basketball fire pit, deck, paved walking track, children's playhouse. Every convenience you need from grocery to entertainment to dining is all just minutes away.
