If you are looking for a quiet country setting close to Union and Florence, you will not be disappointed. If you enjoy the sounds of nature and all the conveniences of home, you will find it here. Reta and Dan are the perfect hosts. We stayed a month and were not ready to leave. We recommend this place without reservation!

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.
