Great host and very clean!!

The house was so well organized and clean. The beds were comfortable. We were there during three of the hottest days so the upstairs became quite a bit warmer than the downstairs and we needed to lower the temperature. The host was very agreeable and lowered the temp via NEST thermostat. The neighborhood is very clean and well-kept. We were close to some great restaurants like First Watch. There is a host binder that lists restaurants and stars the ones they recommend. We learned the hard way with one place to trust their recommendations. They have a fan in each room that helps also on those hot days. We would stay again!

Beautiful home and great stay

This is a beautiful property and well maintained. The backyard was such a great space for kids to play. The owners/property manager checked in regularly to make sure we were doing well and made sure we had a baby gate to make sure the home was a safe place for our toddler. There was even a high chair available, something I didn't expect and was a huge perk. This is a great property for families. It is also the perfect distance between the Ark Encounter and the Creation Museum. It was like a 27 minute drive to one and like a 25 minute to the other. A perfect location to enjoy both of these attractions.

A great place to stay when visiting the Ark Experience or the Creation Museum.

We took a family getaway with the grandkids and had a great time at the property. It is well set up for kids with activities and a fun bunk room. The rooms were comfortable and attractively furnished. The location was perfect. The kitchen was adequately equipped but disorganized - container tops and bottoms in different cupboards, etc. The major issues were the air return vents being very dusty and the neighbor parking his work truck obstructing part of the driveway (which is pretty much out of the hosts control). The host was very easy to communicate with and overall it worked out great for us.

3 generation Family vacation

This place was so clean! Very convenient to where we were spending most of our day (the ark encounter and the creation museum), this house was right in the middle which was great! They had games that we could use! My kids loved the connect four! Separate sitting space so I could nurse my infant and not be in front of my family. My infant actually stayed in the pack n play, that was provided, in the walk in master closet! Each room had a stand up fan! The children loved the bunk beds! Marvelous stay!

Please Read ~ Some Positives & Negatives

When we arrived we couldn't get in because last 4 #'s of cell phone were incorrect & needed help. The upstairs hall bathroom was not cleaned. Soap scum in bathtub as well as ceiling vent filthy. Master bathroom mirror was streaked as well as ceiling vent filthy. Drain in garden tub was rusted. Lite bulbs were shot in several places. For 8 people, not enough toilet paper. Asked to put towels in washer & start but no washing powder. Floor fan blades in rooms covered in dust. The biggest disappointment was when we entered house, there was a big stain on ceiling in living room. I don't know if Chris has crew to clean or he does it himself but a claim was filed against us for water damage. Prior to arriving, I received an email stating there were white square sensors on the floor in bathrooms to alert him of leakage. We did not mess with these so if there was a leak then why wasn't he notified. We are currently fighting this. With all the negative things said, we did have a good time and the house was accommodating but sometimes it's the little things that drive you nuts. Just be sure to take pictures if you see anything wrong.

Nice stay

We enjoyed our stay. There were a few obstacles, but they didn’t stop us from enjoying ourselves . The back landscaping was full of thistles, and the kitchen could have been stocked better: we only had 4 coffee mugs and the pans were not no-stick, so we spent way too much time cleaning them. The beds were comfortable, but several of the light fixtures and things in the bathrooms were starting to rust; perhaps there is a ventilation problem. Great location and safe neighborhood.

Family Ark/Creation Museum Trip

This house is the perfect location for going to both the Creation Museum and the Ark! It’s right in the middle of the two. We also went to the Newport Aquarium, which is only 30min away. The location cannot be beat! This house was exceptionally clean, well kept, up to date, and had all we needed to spread out and be comfortable. I would highly recommend for families! We were so pleased with the communication with the host and check-in/out was extremely easy.
