Great stay near the Ark.

Beautiful and clean property located in hilly scenery. Unfortunately we stayed during a week of rain, but the outdoor sitting space is gorgeous. House is clean and comfortable, will love to stay again!

Perfect!

The house was perfect for our group. We had plenty of room and everything was clean and neat. There was 6 of us and it accommodated us just right. We were visiting the Ark and Creation Museum and the house gave us a nice place to relax afterwards.

Once in a Lifetime Experience!

I took my family and my parents to stay at this property so we could visit the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter. It was a magical visit! Let me start by saying that our host, Nancy was SUPER responsive and easy to communicate with. Our checkin process was a breeze. The house itself is super cozy and felt very homely. It is simply and tastefully decorated, with modern furnishings, and elements of faith throughout, which resonated with us, given our reason for visiting. There was even a little Christmas tree! The kitchen was well appointed, and I was able to use the Carote cookware to fix meals, and it was easy to work with, even though I am used to cast iron. There was plenty of cutlery and tableware for our group of 8. The bedding was comfortable, and the beds are all memory foam. I felt our bed was a bit firm, but that's just a personal preference, and it didn't prevent us from having a good night's sleep. I will mention that the king room doesn't have a tv, but we were so dog tired after our adventures, that it didn't make any difference for us. All of the bathrooms were super clean, and well appointed with a generous supply of towels and toiletries. I also appreciate all the eco-friendly cleaning products in use, which is something that is meaningful to me, and a practice that I utilize in my own home. The downstairs area was perfect for all my kiddos, ages 8-16, and they really enjoyed it. I will mention the area is hilly, so be aware. Thank you, Nancy!

Getting away to the rolling hills of Kentucky was a relaxing, fun experience. We were minutes from Williamstown and the Ark Encounter, and centrally located between Lexington, the Creation Museum, and Cincinnati-about 45 minutes from each. We really enjoyed the deck off the kitchen, the gazebo, and the charcoal grill. Our boys were able to play catch and whiffle ball in the yard even though it slopes a little. It is a short walk to the lake.There is a small but adequate living room.The three main bedrooms are located down the hallway. It was perfect for my husband and me, my sister, and our daughter and her husband. The master bedroom has its own bathroom so the main bathroom serves the other two bedrooms as well as a shower for those who sleep downstairs. Our boys were able to sleep in the basement where there are two single beds, another two single trundle beds, and a futon for a child that folds out.There was a half bath downstairs for them. I would recommend leaving more than six rolls of toilet paper for guests who are staying a week.The kitchen was adequate. The table seats six and the island two, which wasn't enough for our group of ten, but we were able to spill over onto deck. The kitchen was well supplied except for a few items. I would recommend adding measuring cups and spoons, and possibly a larger pot for noodles, a griddle, and a show cooker. We left behind a couple of kitchen towels because we could find only two.We'll miss the beautiful setting.
