We enjoyed our quick stay after being in a hotel at a conference for a few days. It was cozy, welcoming and peaceful. We liked being on the outskirts, and enjoyed the short drive to the main street area with restaurants, ice cream and shops. It is very close to the ark too!

Nice getaway

The property was clean and put together well. Communication with the host was easy and she even checked on us to see how the stay was going. Plenty of space inside and outside. Beautiful view and a lake just up the road. I definitely recommend a stay here!

Cozy & Clean Stay!

Stayed overnight to go to a concert in Lexington then Ark Encounter next day. This home was clean and had everything we needed with thoughtful extras! We enjoyed it and appreciate the thoughtfulness and coziness! We also loved Beans in Dry Ridge. Will come back sometime for sure.

This cottage was absolutely adorable and so comfortable. Keisha has done an amazing job creating a peaceful and welcoming space. Hospitality was top notch. This is seriously one of the cleanest rentals we've ever stayed at. Our kids loved seeing the families of deer passing through the neighborhood.We needed to come a day early and Keisha was so accommodating. She was easy to reach and incredibly responsive. Even checked in to see how we were doing.It was a perfect homebase for visiting The Ark. After an entire day of exploring the park, this was so nice and comfy to come home to. I highly recommend this rental for your trip to Kentucky.

We had a very enjoyable stay here visiting the Ark, the Creation Museum, the Cincinnati Zoo, and more! The house was in a very cute and safe neighborhood. Communication with host was excellent. House was well stocked! My husband did have concerns about the state of the deck. He didn’t think it was up to code, and as a contractor, expressed that it needed a rehab for safety. The couch inside was also broken and had a piece of plywood holding it up.Overall house was cute, host was very nice, and we appreciated all of the God centered decor touches!

Adorable country place to stay

We loved staying. The house is so cute and clean. Cozy atmosphere and the host has everything you need all the way down to a binder with everything around you. I found that a super bonus especially with kids. Got to see some deer and a bunny out in the fields. We will be back again.

Immaculate accommodation near lake.

The house was immaculate, well stocked, comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen, nice deck, great communication with owner and in a nice neighborhood. We took a walk on the road behind the house and were able to have nice views of the lake. I would definitely stay here again.

forced to stay there

My friend who was to be with me came down with covid and there was no refund for her not going. I think there should have been a little something. The water in the shower was cold, maybe warm for a very short time. No outside light for the stairs to get up to the porch. Hard to see at night. Please change the door lock to get in. That box is hard to see when you are older. Harder to maneuver the lock. I really like the place because it is on the street were my niece lives and this is a big help for me. I need help getting in and out of the place. Janet Murphy

Conference

It was a beautiful home. The shower was really small, overall it was a beautiful stay. Just wish the shower was a little bit bigger. But the house was fully stocked we didn't have to go and eat out every night, we fixed meals there and it was beautiful and fun and intimate. The view is amazing

Wonderful Stay

What a beautiful home! We had a group of 6 that stayed here while we attended a conference at the The Ark. The space was perfect for us. It was more economical than the hotel near by and we truly felt like we had a home base to relax in. Having the full kitchen allowed us to have meals so we saved money on food, full size refrigerator was a huge help as well. Our host was attentive and very sweet. Definitely keeping this one in our favorites list.
