Best By Far

This stay was so much more than expected! Reta was the best host. Everything was very clean and tastefully decorated. The location is close to everything and the property grounds are gorgeous! We enjoyed sitting on the deck and having coffee each morning. We went to The Ark Encounter and Creation Museum. We also took in a Reds game. It was one of our best trips ever! Thanks again Reta for a wonderful stay!

Peaceful anniversary getaway

This was the perfect property for our anniversary trip. It offered a lot of privacy in a quiet neighborhood. And being an excellent midpoint between the Creation Museum and the Ark Encounter is no exaggeration. We also enjoyed it being relatively close to a lot of great local restaurants. The host even provided great recommendations for us to try out! We highly recommend this property!

Quiet, peaceful stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this quiet neighborhood. The studio apartment was very clean and the back deck was a nice place to sit and read. We visited Cincinnati and also the Ark Encounter and spent our evenings and nights relaxing at this great apartment. Highly recommended!

Beautiful property and apartment!

The property is absolutely gorgeous and the apartment is perfect! The bed was very comfortable and the apartment had everything that we needed for our 4 day stay. Reta and Dan are wonderful hosts. It was the perfect location between the Arc Encounter and the Creation Museum. If we are ever back in the area, we will stay here again!

Long weekend

My wife and I stayed here for a long weekend to visit the Creation Museum, Ark Encounter and some fun events in Cincinnati. This place was clean, quiet and perfect for our long weekend. It is the perfect amount of room for a couple and the location was convenient to our activities. I would recommend it for couples who are planning to visit this part of the country.

Wonderful

If you are looking for a quiet place to stay and is located between the Ark and the Creation Museum then look no further! It was nice to return to a quiet place after a busy day. We enjoyed the deck and listening to the birds and ate many meals out there. Wonderful hosts! Glad that we got to met them.

Lovely spot

This property is beautiful! It is the perfect location to easily get to Creation Museum and Ark Encounter which we visited on our way to and from visiting family further west. It was a relaxing "home base" for my sister and I to return to. The owners are so friendly and helpful! If stairs are not a problem for you I fully recommend this lovely property!

Anniversary getaway!

It was a very quaint little apartment! It was perfect for my husband and I. We live in the country and this was like home! We had everything we needed! Plenty of towels and wash clothes, not like a motel! We cooked our breakfast and supper in, which worked out great! It was located in between creation museum and the Ark Encounter as was advertised! Nice and clean, very comfortable! We would definitely stay here again…

Great!

Overall, we had a great time. The space was a little tight, but that was to be expected with a studio apartment. I would have appreciated a photo showing the apartment was above a garage (I didn't scroll all the way down to read the description), but our hosts were great! They evenshared fruit from their garden!

Great Hosts and Wonderful Stay

The property is beautiful and relaxing in the country. You can sit on the upper deck, and enjoy your morning coffee or evening beverage in complete comfort and relaxation. The apartment was laid out very nicely, and it just felt like home. Host and hostess were extremely friendly and helpful with tips on enjoying the area. Dog enjoyed running around the 6 acres in freedom. On a leash, we were able to safely walk the country roads for miles and not feel like we were going to be hit by reckless drivers. Overall, just a wonderful three days and we wouldn't hesitate to stay here again should we ever find ourselves in this area of the country again.

Overall the room was everything we expected. The only issues we had were that the bathroom exhaust fan did not work and the bed was uncomfortable (the matress was on the frame which made it uncomfortable and, when you got out of the bed, you had to make sure you didn't hit your legs on the frame).The owners were very friendly and accommodating.
