Perfect rustic spot for getting to Creation Museum (1hr) and Ark Encounter (25mins). Great for kids and a small dog. Interesting pellet stove to heat the living room. Well insulated and survived a bad thunderstorm and 17 degrees F while staying with 2 young boys, a dog and my wife. Deer in the backyard. Horses in the front yard.

This property is truly unique…from the cow bell lights to the bourbon barrel sink in the half bath! The converted barn is roomy yet cozy. The bedrooms were very comfortable and I never ran out of hot water in the shower. Beautiful views with privacy but 15 minutes to restaurants and shopping. Excellent communication with the host. Would definitely stay here again!!
