Relaxing getaway

Everything was excellent from beginning to end of our stay. 16 th thru 19th. Was quiet and relaxing. Took advantage of the fire pit and games down stairs. Close to Ark Encounter the main focus of the trip. Visited Cincinnati and had a wonderful dinner on the river celebrating Father’s Day with my son and daughter-in-law and his birthday on Monday. Booking was easy checking in a breeze. Very clean and well stocked with necessities as they stated it would be. Would definitely stay there again and would recommend it to anyone who wanted a nice quiet place to stay in that area. Darlene was very informative and easy to work with. Great job Darlene.

A Piece of Paradise

This beautiful farmhouse is very comfortable and in a very peaceful area! Very scenic rolling hills surround the large shaded yard! Conveniently close to the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum. Scenic backroads abound in the area, including a nice drive along the Ohio River on both the Kentucky and Indiana sides! This place is truly a piece of paradise!!! The owner is fantastic and goes above and beyond to make this an unforgettable experience!!! 👍👍

Great location for Ark visit.

We had a great stay and the house was just a promised. They did a great job of presenting the exactly where you will be staying. She should add more pictures of the surroundings, the area is beautiful KY farm land and that is the only thing that surprised me. Someone puts a lot of love in taking care of the house, you can just tell.
