It was a great place to stay, it had all the essentials to cook some meals, was very clean and decorated nicely. The hosts did a great job communicating in a timely manner and gave great suggestions for local restaurant and questions we had about the Ark Encounter and Creation museum. It was located half way between both of these places which was really nice. I had my concerns about the train being too loud, but read that other people were not bothered by it. We slept just fine and there were sound machines but we did not use them.
Great place to stay, perfect location to visit the Ark and Cincinnati. My wife and I both enjoyed the back deck after a long day to sit and unwind, very private and comfortable place to stay. Kelly Q's diner is a short walk from here which is a great place to eat, and was a awesome benefit of staying here.
This home literally couldn’t have been better! The owners have a keen eye for details. We enjoyed our stay so much! We really hope to stay again when we are in town.
Glad we found this haven, convenient to the Creation/Ark museums. Booked last minute and check-in was flawless. Very clean and stocked with everything you'd need. Enjoyed the deck, the "fireplaces" and a movie night on the large TV! Note that there is a train nearby and the beds are soft. We would stay here again!
The whole place was Great! We didn't use the kitchen but we could have if we wanted to. It was very comfy. Slept really well. Enjoyed our stay. Thank you!
Perfect location between the Ark & Creation Museum. Marie was very helpful giving good dining information. We were only 20 minutes from Cincinnati, Ohio so we were able to run over there one night for dinner as well. Sweet, cozy little place.
We had such a wonderful stay! The property was spotless, cozy, and exactly as described. The location was relaxing, and check-in was super easy. The hosts were helpful and responsive. We’d absolutely stay here again!
Property was perfect for my stay. I read the reviews about train traffic behind the property, I personally was fine with it. Highly recommend this place for a short or extended stay. Very close to anything you Will need for food and entertainment.
Clean, cozy, comfortable “home” with a well furnished kitchen that has all the necessary appliances. Host did not skimp on the little details to make our stay easy & convenient, like iPhone charging pads on each nightstand & a supplied coffee station. We came prepared with earplugs in case the train noise got unbearable, but the noise wasn’t too bad that we didn’t need them. Would definitely recommend this place for those interested in visiting the Ark Encounter & Creation Museum.
We’ve stayed at the house in front and this property above the garage! Both stays were phenomenal-their attention to detail is fantastic. Will rent again when I am in the area!
This place doesn’t look like much from the exterior but what it lacks on the outside it makes up for on the inside! This place was so nice and clean! Big screen TV’s in every room, loved the back deck. Every need was available in this very nice place! We felt safe and it is conveniently located between the Ark and Creation museum. Thank You for a great place to make memoirs with our family.

We had a wonderful stay. A lovely 2 bedroom. Owners have thought of all the little things to make any stay amazing. I forgot my hairdryer and discovered they had one for us, along with a flat iron. Washing machine with laundry detergent and fabric softener. All the kitchen items you’d need to prepare any meal and keep your leftovers fresh. Coffee and creamer if you’ve forgotten to pack your own.
Charging stations for smartphones by each of the bedsides. Roku in each bedroom and living room. The beds are comfy and linens are clean and soft.
I will gladly recommend this as a stay to others and will gladly book with them in the future when I go with others to see the Ark.
This VRBO was adorable & well thought out. We very much appreciated all the details, just like home. It was lovely, beautifully decorated, very clean, cozy, & comfortable. It was well equipped with everything one could need. The kitchen was well stocked. Nice, cozy outdoor retreats - both upper & lower areas. We would definitely come back & recommend it to others too!

Thank you Tirzah. We are looking forward to welcome you back.
The property was well maintained. We opened the door to a Beautiful New Apartment. Very Pleased the railroad behind was a change for us country folk. Definitely be back Highly recommend this apartment. No one around sat on back deck and watched the birds.. Relaxing Highly recommended
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this great little apartment. The location is perfectly situated between The Ark and Creation Museum. It had eveything you could possibly need. The beds are comfy and the kitchen is very well outfitted (crockpot, toaster, blender, electric kettle, plenty of pots, pans and dishes, etc). The only issue we had was the road noise and trains passing behind the property which was a little loud at night. There is a white noise machine in one of the bedrooms, but that might not be enough if you're sensitive to sound at night. My son is particularly sensitive to sound, and he struggled to sleep, but in spite of that he loved the apartment so much he cant wait to go back!

Thank you for your feedback. We are glad to hear that you thoroughly enjoyed your stay and found the apartment well-equipped and comfortable.
However, We strive to be transparent about the potential noise due to the nearby railroad tracks and have mentioned this in our property listing multiple times. We also recommend that guests who are sensitive to noise consider this before booking. We are wondering why you chose this property knowing that it has potential for noise.
For future guests, please be aware of this aspect and assess your sensitivity to noise before booking to ensure a comfortable stay.
