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.

Great stay for our visit to the Ark and Creation Musuem!

This house truly is the best location for visiting both the ark and the creation museum! It is smack in the middle of the two of them. The host was so nice and responsive - even had a brand new coffee pot shipped to the front door within hours of the one that was in the house breaking. We were so impressed by that! The beds are very comfortable and the pool was such a nice addition to our stay! The house is wonderfully stocked with all the basics and the check out process was the easiest of any VRBO we have ever stayed at!

Very nice property! Plenty of room and the pool was nice. The 2nd pool ladder was supposed to be replaced on Tuesday but never heard why it didn’t. That made it hard for the 7 and 10 year old to get in and out of the pool on the deep end. Overall had a great time with family.

Great comfy stay, close to ARK

This home was just like pictures, if not more! Our host was very helpful. We chose this home for the closeness of the ark and a youth conference we attended. We also took a trip to Cincinnati, which was amazing! I wouldn't change anything about this home because it was very clean, comfy, loved how "at home" it made us feel! If ever in this area again will definitely stay again! Neighborhood was also nice, beds slept amazingly!!!

Excellent experience

This was my first time using Vrbo and the experience was fantastic. The house was beautiful, clean, and incredibly accomodating. I have a 2 year old and was nervous to be away from home for several days without toys and things but her had a blast with the toys provided in the game room. The kitchen had everything we needed to have enjoyable family dinners together. Thank you for helpong to make this an unforgettable vacation.
