This home is absolutely beautiful and cozy—truly our taste. Simple, clean, and elegant. It is conveniently located close to Noah’s Ark and about a 35 minute drive from the creation museum. There is also Walmart about 10 minutes away. The kitchen has everything you need to cook. Ms. Gina is amazing.

Beautiful and quaint home, clean and well stocked for a nice stay. Host was communicative, caring and concise. We had everything we needed before and during our stay. The home is very near to the Ark Encounter which is an excellent bonus since that was the reason for us visiting the area.

The property was just as described. It's close to many great places to visit and eat, yet offers the serenity of a quiet neighborhood. The hosts provided all the basic necessities plus extras like a fully stocked coffee bar and spices that were especially great with breakfast foods. We'd definitely visit again.

Our stay was cozy and comfortable. We especially appreciated the warmth and hospitality feeling in the home. Gina really thought about the smallest of details to make her guests feel welcome while preserving her grandmother’s memories around the home. Clean towels, spacious bathroom and comfortable beds. One of the best VRBO experience we’ve had. Perfect location to the Ark Encounter.
