Trip to the Ark

The house was lovely and pictures were true. The thermostat was a little off it would be cold in some portions of the house while other portion would be hot . But overall the house was great plenty of extras . Since we had three grand children with us the Easter snd dryer was great with plenty of detergent available . Plenty of toilet tissue and . Usually we have to buy extra so it was nice to have extra. The grass was a little long . We had bad weather one night and a huge limb fell from a tree, it fell across the walkway . We call the owners and he sent out the handy man to clear the limbs from the yard . We really appreciated the quick response.

Ark Encounter/Creation Museum

Perfect location if you’re looking for a place between the Ark Encounter and the Creation Museum! This place was very nice, very clean, well decorated and we’d stay again!A suggestion may be to put a shelf or two somewhere in the guest bathroom bc there’s not much room to put your things esp if you had 4 people sharing but overall very pleased.

Wonderful Trip

We stayed in this beautiful home and attended a Vacation Bible School conference at the Ark Encounter. The house is decorated so cute and looks just like the pictures. We had everything we needed and more. It exceeded our expectations. All the beds were so comfortable, in fact we had to see what kind of mattresses were on the beds so we could purchase one. The house is conveniently located in between the Ark Encounter, and the Creation Museum. Would would definitely stay here again.

Walton, KY

We stayed just prior to the worst snow/ice storm in KY. Place was great. It had everything we could need or want. Wish we could have stayed longer. Unfortunately, we had to leave a day early to avoid highway shutdowns and the storm. Would definitely recommend and/or stay there again

House Layout Allows Breakout sessions

We sometimes need time away. The large suite allows for getaway. Our exhaustion might have played a part but neighbor train tracks weren't an issue. The other rooms are off separate mini hallways. As the adult you can hear what's going on but you don't have to be "present".Kitchen Slayed some awesome meals but also played a big part of game night refreshments.

A Creation & ARK Encounter

Wanted to visit the Creation Museum & The Ark with my Bible study Besties...4 ladies traveling from Georgia to Kentucky for 3 nights & 4 days. This house was smack dab in the middle of both. We were less than 20 minutes from the ARK and 35 minutes from Creation.. it was perfect location for us!!

Charming home

This house had a great layout and big comfortable beds. Fire pit and all the amenities were perfect! The only thing I’d suggest is more “family friendly” and comfortable living room furniture; it is beautiful but not the most comfortable for a group to stretch out and lounge. Maybe adding a slimline recliner would help and go with the decor.

Hope to come back

The property was just as expected. We did hear the train a little but I don’t think anyone was sleeping when it happened. It didn’t disturb us at all. My adult daughter and I gave my elderly parents the master bedroom and it worked perfect. It was comfortable and spacious. We do concur with another review that the living room is not the most comfortable for lounging. But if you’re close with everyone. Turning around the chaise in the master bedroom brings a very cozy environment to watch a movie together after long days on our feet. The location was pretty perfect between the Ark and Creation museum. It seemed to be under 30 minutes in both directions and much lighter commutes than we are used to. We definitely want to come back and will recommend this property to others we know.

Me, my daughter and my twin sister made the trip to visit the Creation Museum and The Ark. This house was halfway between, easy to get to, quiet neighborhood. The house was amazing, immaculate.

Exactly what we needed

This house though close to the tracks was just what we needed for our short stay to see the Ark and Creation Museum. My kids slept through the whistle and that’s all that mattered. We really enjoyed all the perfect touches that made it feel so homey especially the well stocked kitchen. This was by far the best vrbo kitchen I’ve ever seen!

Beautiful and clean home!

This home was beautiful and clean! There were so many extra touches and thoughtful additions. There were games to play (including cron hole for outside) and a few books to look at. The kitchen was very well stocked with dishes, utensils, appliances, coffee and tea accompaniments, spices, and extra touches. This is the best whole house we have stayed in yet (Vrbo and Airbnb combined). There were extra hot and cold fans in each bedroom. The beds were very comfortable. Everything was clean, inside and out. Wonderful stay! We would definitely recommend this home!
