Great time in Kentucky

The property was as advertised; clean, comfortable, and a beautiful area. The upper deck had a beautiful view and was relaxing for sitting outside for coffee in the morning. Restaurants and grocery stores were just a short drive away and we were conveniently close to The Creation Museum and Ark Encounter.
