This gorgeous historic home is perfect for your group of 12 guests! 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, plus a robust kitchen, living room, and a dining room with an incredible hardwood table big enough for the entire crew make this the ideal home to gather and enjoy time together!



The Space:

Nestled on a sprawling 5-acre lot, this stunning historic home built in 1873 has been meticulously restored and renovated with modern amenities while preserving its rich history.

Our best VRBO experience.

The accommodations were over the top, got a visit from the judge, did the Ark Encounter and Museum, enjoyed the small town hospitality and was awesome knowing we had a safe place to lay our heads down every night. Have already recommended to friends and family to stay when in town.

Lovely accommodations

We stayed for 2 nights and would loved to have stayed longer! My staff and I attended a conference in the area and the house provided plenty of beds for us to feel comfortable with the sleeping arrangements and plenty of bathrooms to allow all 10 of us to get ready each morning! We all enjoyed and said that we would not have any issues with staying at this location again!

Thumbs Up

Overall the stay was great! Very roomy and up to date. My only (very small) issue is there was no where but the fridge to put the food we brought in. The location was great! We walked downtown a few times and they have cute little shops. Very close to the ARK! I’d stay there again for sure!

Perfect for extended family stay

The check in process was concise and easy. The house was as presented through pictures and clean. 6 adults and 6 kids to our party. The kids loved the arcade games! We enjoyed movies on the sectional and likes that our 3 smaller families all had our own space with a. Bathroom. The twin beds were stow-away beds which turned out just fine for kids. The location was prime for us to walk to dinner each night which was a highlight of our days after traveling by car around the area.

Fabulous place to stay while visiting the Ark Encounter

This property was everything it advertised. Very clean, well stocked, easy check in process. We had a mechanical issue the first night, but know that things like this happen occasionally. We had constant contact with the property manager to resolve the problem and take care of us in the interim. This is an amazing place, especially for large groups, who are coming to see the Ark, which is only about five minutes away. I highly recommend it!

Highly recommend. Great accommodations and close to Ark Encounter too!

Our extended family really enjoyed our stay. Don't let the outside of the building fool you; there's lots of space inside with 4 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms. The big family room and comfy sectional were great for watching a movie together and the large dining table was just perfect for games. If you are planning to visit the Ark Encounter (or need an idea for an activity), we highly recommend that too; very close. We didn't get to explore the little town, but loved the burgers and fries from Hansie Flip Burgers. The KY Horse Farm down toward Lexington is also worth the drive. Owner/management company were always quick to answer any questions beforehand and during our stay.

Ark Gathering

Lots of communication from property questions, early check-in to type of coffee makers!! This property was perfect for three couples, especially since each couple had their own attached bathrooms. Great place to gather, as well as have space of our own. Very clean - and I have pretty high standards for cleanliness, so I was impressed. Easy check-in. We didn't do any cooking, but the kitchen was large and had two dishwashers! Plenty of room to move around if there are a lot of people in the kitchen, and plenty of space to sit for dining.

It was ...ok

House was renovated and everything is "new", but not necessarily as nice as it looked in the pictures. The floor is like walking across the ocean floor, up/down/up/down. There was no coffee pot when we arrived, we had to go buy our own and request two different times to get a refund on the purchase price.

Many changes from listing

Clean and fine. However, deck was under construction and not available Friday night. When got back Saturday, still was finished and all the workers were there having an end of day party/bonfire. We wanted to be out there but was unavailable until late. Not a big deal but should get a reduced price. Not what was promised by the pictures. Limited silverware. If holds 12, need more than almost 12 of everything. Good part was that it was clean!

Very pleased

We were very pleased with the house - plenty of room for our entire crew. Spent two nights while visiting the Ark Encounter ( 5 minutes away) Kitchen was well stocked. Communication with the manager was great. The only things I’d point out is that on the listing it shows 2 bedrooms as having a twin/single and a queen bed - these are not actual beds - they are cots - only one had a frame to put the mattress on. It worked fine for us though - one was used by a toddler on the floor and the other by a small teenager. The only other thing was that it’s about a 10 minute drive to any restaurants ( which other than fast food - were very limited- and several were closed on Sunday and Monday) We did eat dinner ( ordered online/to go) at Beans cafe and Bakery. Everything we ordered was very good and we also bought a loaf of their sourdough. Coffees and doughnuts looked like they would be yummy too, but we ate our breakfast at the house. All that said - we would stay there again and would definitely recommend it. Thank you for a very enjoyable and relaxing visit.
