Fantastic Stay!!We absolutely loved our stay here! The place was super clean, cozy, and beautifully decorated—like something out of a magazine. It had everything we needed and more, and you can tell the owners really put thought and care into every detail. Nothing was spared when it came to comfort and style.The location was a huge bonus—just a short drive from the airport and perfectly situated between the Ark Encounter and the Creation Museum. It made exploring both attractions so easy and convenient.Highly recommend this spot to anyone visiting the area. We’d definitely stay again!

Even better than expected!

This historic home was perfect for our group of 4 senior adults, and when we walked in, it felt so friendly and welcoming! The kitchen and eating area are spectacular, and the beds were super comfy. It was handy to have one bathroom downstairs and one upstairs with the bedrooms. We didn't need to use the laundry area, but I wish mine at home looked like that! The living room is set up perfectly for sitting and chatting and the porch and back patio are wonderful. The location was perfect for visiting The Ark and the Creation Museum. The house is easy to access, but set back from the street, with ample, private parking. The whole area is so beautiful and you can even walk to get ice cream! Thank you for allowing us to stay in your lovely home.

Next time we are up that way we will book with them again.

Beautiful Home

What a blessing to find this beautiful little home, perfectly situated between the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum, which was the purpose for our visit! May be somewhat small in square footage, but every single space was so smartly put to use. There were six adults in our party and we never felt cramped. And to say, the owners have thought of everything, is an understatement! Whatever you need for your stay… Rest assured it will be there! We had an issue the last night of our stay, and the owners were their lickity split to rectify the problem. Very friendly and courteous! You won’t regret choosing this little gem!

Very good

Great house; just enough space for a family of five. It looks like it was recently renovated and converted into a short-term rental. Good location; as advertised (close to the Ark Encounter and the Creation Museum). It is right on Main St. in Walton, which is a one-lane road in each direction, so some traffic noise as expected. One issue is that the A/C system is very noisy, especially in the kitchen where the main filter is located. The window A/C units are noisy as well and the need for them indicates the central air is not sufficient to reach the rooms in the upper floor. But other than that, our experience was very good and we would stay there again.

Nice Short Visit

We rented this home for a weekend getaway for an event at River Bend in Cincy. The home is as advertised. Kitchen is well appointed and suitable for anyone who needed to cook for a large group. Home is nicely furnished. Beds were comfortable. The added individual portable a/c units were much welcomed due to extreme heat during our stay. Parking is in the back of the home which made it convenient for unloading/loading. There was someone staying in the space over the detached 2 car garage however, it posed no problem for us. The trains do blow their horns at night due to the crossing nearby. We noticed it several times the first night but the second night we didn't notice it all. The street in front of the house is busy. The front yard is large so if you have littles that are playing out front, be sure to keep an eye on them. There is a large green space in the back they could play. Overall, highly recommend the property and would stay again if ever in the area.
