Our stay for Ark Encounter Women's Conference

HOW VERY WONDERFUL! This was everyone's first experience at an 'Air B-n-B', or whatever this 'house' is. It was wonderful having only 2 persons per bathroom as opposed to 4 to 1 at a hotel! We were SO COMFORTABLE and it was so WELCOMING. During all the rain it was a blessing to be able to use the garage!! But the absolute BEST was its location so near the Ark Encounter. We are hoping to find something for 6 persons for next year's conference. THANK YOU!

What a gem!

Lovely, peaceful setting in the rolling hills of KY. Property was all we hoped for and more. Beds and couches were comfy, kitchen and utensils were clean, plenty of space to spread out luggage and relax for a visit with family and friends. Perfect place to stay for visiting The Ark Encounter! Highly recommend!

Ark Encounter Get Away

The home was well kept with plenty of supplies and very comfortable. We enjoyed spending time on the deck every morning. Living room furniture was very comfortable and we appreciated having a garage with rain that moved through. Staying at a VRBO is so much more comfortable than hotels for extended stays. This one was very convenient for the adventures we had planned. I highly recommend this home.

Home Away From Home

We had always stayed in hotels before,but we decided to try something new, which in itself was exciting. We really did not know what to expect. I did see several good reviews. which set my mind on ease. This place was situated in a beautiful country neighborhood setting.The house itself was very clean and cozy with all the amenities you would expect and beyond, from a washer and dryer in the basement to a full size refrigerator, stove and microwave, which saved us a bundle on eating out. This house was also located in close proximity to gas stations, a Dollar General and a small community- type grocery store where I found my new favorite ice cream. The house was close to the Ark Encounter and 45 minutes away from the Creation Museum, these being our reason for visiting. The town was also small, less than 4000 in population, so it kind of had a "Mayberry" appeal, safe and friendly. I would most definitely stay at this house again if I am ever in this area and highly recommend it to anyone.

Long weekend

The house was perfect for the 4 of us. Well stocked with things other rental do not include like hand soap, extra toilet paper, and coffee cream. Beds were comfortable, which was nice after visiting the Ark Encounter and the Creation Museum. House is private and feel secluded on the back deck. Great place to relax. The reclining furniture in the living room was a nice touch too! Would definitely stay again!

Cozy stay

We where satisfied with the location of the property, very close to the Ark Encounter. The house was nice, we only stayed two nights and it was exactly as described. Only wish it had regular cable, could not watch the MBL playoffs. Overall a solid stay.

Awsome stay

It was a nice house. Nice and cozy. The part that i loved the most was the garage. It is very close to Noahs Ark, which is why we was up there. The only suggestion i would make is to put something ing the shower to help make it non-slippery. It was slippery for my wife in the main bathroom shower. It was also slippery for our friend in the hallway bathroom. Other than that the stay was great. I would recommend to anyone.

Nice property with drawbacks

First impression was grass needing mowing. Close to a busy road some noise. The main issue was immediate when we opened the door. We were greeted with the overwhelming smell of cigarette smoke. Called the agent and she brought over some spray but even that did not mask the smell. This is a non smoking property and clearly someone did not follow the rules. Only fix is to clean drapes and rugs and run an ionizer on all the rooms. Furnace filter should also be changed. We did not let this ruin our trip but were unable to enjoy ourselves inside.

Very Nice

We enjoyed our stay very much! No problem finding the house. Just as described. Nice neighborhood. We enjoyed our evenings on the back porch. The only negatives were that the house smelled like there had been a smoker in it (might be a problem for someone with allergies). The front of the house is on a pretty busy street.
