Perfectly located between the Ark Encounter and the Creation Museum and the airport. The host had an emergency and hired a cleaning crew to come in before our check in. The cleaning crew missed a few things and I notified the host who was quick to respond and quick to remedy. We would definitely like to stay here again when we come back for the new attractions.

Liked: Location
The hosts are very nice and responded to all communication promptly. They do a great job with the cleanliness of the house. The pool and pool area were worn, but clean and functional. The kids loved having one. The house is in a lovely neighborhood and the neighbors are very nice. With some TLC the dwelling could be awesome. There were many things that were worn and need attention. (I took pictures of many of them.) The furniture is worn, but clean. The carpets are older, but also clean. The kitchen is stocked, but we found dirty utensils in the drawer. Most of the furnishings are worn and the decor is skeletal, at best. The beds were good. We have stayed at many vacation rentals and I feel like I am giving an accurate description of what we found. The owners seem like nice people and I hope they will pay attention to the ways in which they can upgrade their rental.
