About this property

Country's Edge #2 Near the Ark Encounter!

Welcome to our second place nestled in the country side. Where we hope you can spend your time relaxing, enjoying the scenery, and the abundance of wildlife. Wakeup to the sights and sounds of birds singing, sheep quietly grazing, Scottish Highland cattle calling and horses trotting on a quiet country morning. Expect to see deer grazing the property seemingly unaware of quite spectators as the sun starts to rise and burns off the morning dew. Our place is newly remodeled and ready for your stay. If you require even more space then checkout our other property the original Country's Edge located conveniently next door.

4 ladies staying for a women's conference at the Ark encounter. Beds were comfortable. The place was clean. Lots of winding roads to get there, but it's worth the drive!

BEST place to stay if visiting the Ark Encounter!!

This gem is perfect for a family or extended family to relax after a day at the Ark or even the Creation Museum. The beds are comfortable and the kitchen had the tools we needed to have breakfast and dinners at the house. We enjoyed sitting around the firepit in the evenings and seeing the cows graze in the field next to us. The home is super clean and close to restaurants and shopping too. We hope to come back again sometime!

Wonderful hidden gem

We were blessed to stay here! Lovely, clean, spacious house, comfortable, warm decor, inspiring Bible verses. The views are beautiful of rural Kentucky with birds and cows and donkeys to entertain us. Easy drive to the Ark Encounter. We would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat or gathering place.

Relaxing

This was a fantastic place to relax. It stormed so we couldn’t enjoy the fire pit, but it was set up nicely. We did enjoy the porch, especially watching the kittens play. Having fresh eggs and meat delivered was amazing! A good spot to relax after visiting the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum.

Excellent home

We really enjoyed our stay. The home was very clean, organized, and very comfortable. We loved being in the country, enjoying the deck/porch and the big patio in the back with the fire pit. The roads were fun to drive, with easy access to grocery stores and restaurants. Recommend this home highly. The drive to the Arc Encounter was easy. The Creation Museum is a bit further out, but certainly easy to get to. Owner Josh was very responsive when necessary. You will enjoy your stay here.

Fresh Air!

Country’s Edge #2 was absolutely fantastic for our family! Looking out the back door at the beautiful land is a breathtaking sight! Fire pit was a great plus at night under the wonderful, starry skies. This was a great place that is situated about 20 minutes from the Ark Encounter, and just under one hour to the Creation Museum. This home is spotless and adorned with wonderful Bible verses on the walls of just about every single room. Very comfortable and relaxing atmosphere here! We loved it!

Xmas at the Ark

Over all the house was nice. Furniture could be replaced pretty worn. The Bathroom door to the main bedroom had previously been repaired and it fell off the tracks, so we just left it off. It's a barn door, someone could be hurt by that. Overall the property was beautiful and we had plenty of room. Even enjoyed the firepit and patio! Thank you, Vickie Moore

A Great Time at Country's Edge

We absolutely loved our stay. The host was wonderful and responsive. No problems whatsoever. The home is 13 miles from the Ark and 53 miles from the Creation Museum. Worked well for us. 2 Helpful Hints: #1 = Stay on the main roads (330 and 30). My GPS kept trying to get us to cut across the mountain. There's great scenery but it led us down 3 roads that had signs saying "No outlet". #2 = The water here is HOT - which makes for great showers but those with younger children will need to be careful about that. A really fantastic place to stay!

Beautiful country setting

A total of 5 adults stayed here. The house was in a beautiful country setting. There were also cows, goats, dogs and cat on the property. We were visiting The Ark Encounter and Creation Museum. It is a 20 minute drive to the Ark , a little further to the museum. The house was fairly equipped with basic supplies. There were a few small stores nearby to pick up some perishable food items. There were quite a few streaming channels available to watch. A miniature game table available for entertainment. We enjoyed our stay and we would consider staying there again.

Ark Encounter family trip

My older parents and I came here to see the Ark and Creation Museum. It was so nice that this place was only 20 min from the Ark. most of that the typical mountain roads to the house. This home is beautiful and welcoming! We love the decorations and theme! We HIGHLY RECOMMEND Josh and their rental. Very clean, plenty of towels and wash clothes. Some extra toilet paper which is helpful also. It’s so nice not having to pack extra towels and toilet paper. Thank you for that added welcome! Plenty of kitchen supplies to cook with and in great condition! Josh was super helpful. Make sure you read the mailbox numbers bec we pulled in the neighbors yard at first lol

We have rented for over 20 years with VRBO, and have never rented anything close to the cleanliness of this home, the quietness of this home, the beautiful surrounding of this home.We absolutely loved our stay. There was so much room. The laundry room was phenomenal. Having a table with more than three chairs was fantastic. The pool/air hockey table, made for some laughable moments. The sound of nature upon waking and laying down to sleep was so relaxing. The sunrise is perfect on the little hilltop and the sunset captures your attention as well. The home owner was very quick to respond to any questions we had. The ONLY issue we had (my group was all 50 aged women) was almost tripping and falling over the eight cats that were constantly underfoot, going outside to drink coffee or eat a sandwich was not something we were able to do because the cats would immediately pounce on us, and try to drink out of our cups or to get on our plates and eat our sandwiches.It was not an ideal situation as the whole reason we rented this home was for the outside area and it was kind of awkward looking in the pantry and seeing the cat food and knowing that if we did not take the responsibility of feeding someone else’s pet every morning, they would not eat for the entire four days that we were there. AND we learned early that the family’s dog will come eat all the cat food if you feed them and don’t watch out for him. Apart from that, this is a perfect home for anyone.
