Our group absolutely loved the home. We utilized all the bedrooms, the kitchen, did some cooking, and played some games down in the garage. Everything was simply outstanding and beautiful. We had a great time. We were there for a football game, and our team did not win, but all in all, we thoroughly enjoyed the entire visit. We look forward to another future trip utilizing VRBO.

Spacious and comfortable. Our family liked the "game room" in the garage which was lots of family fun time. While our main reason for booking this particular home was its location to the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum we found that it was centrally located within an hour drive to many great activities. Host was very attentive as I had to reach out several times and I quickly got a response each time. The house was well stocked with supplies and while we didn't have the opportunity to use the hot tub it looked very well kept. Also, the washer and dryer were full size and worked great.

Upon arrival the place smelled like cigarette smoke. The host did order us air fresheners however the smoke smell lingers. We had 8 people and there were not enough towels for everyone. The towels were very poor quality and ended up having to use some the hot tub towels. There is some mold on the hallway bathroom ceiling. Ultimately the place looks nice however there are several places that needed to be repaired.

Our family was overly impressed with our stay. This place met all the needs we had traveling to this area. We needed a home away from home and boy did we ever. The house was in great shape and very clean. Our host was very accessible and checked on us daily. Great community location and peaceful neighbors.

This was a wonderful place to stay. We went to both the ark encounter and the creation museum and it was situated between them. Our grandsons played the games in the garage in the evenings and we played cards at the table. The house had everything we needed, and was amazing.

This place worked out perfectly. It was very central to both the Ark and the Creation Museum, which were the purpose of our trip. There were four of us, so we each had our own bedroom, and with 2-1/2 bathrooms, everything worked smoothly. This was all great, but the main reason for my score was the unbelievably quick responses from the host whenever I had a question. If I ever come back to this area, I would definitely stay here again.
