Great place
45 minutes from the Ark encounter. We incorrectly thought that the creation museum was in the same location as the Ark. The house was clean and well stocked. Nice neighborhood. Also, get groceries before coming. There are no stores on this side of river.

Cozy and complete
All the amenities you need in a cozy, comfortable setting. We walked to the river one morning and sat in a swing overlooking the river. Convenient location to the museum and not far from the ark. Great stay!

Nice comfortable home in a quaint town
Nice comfortable home in a quaint town. We enjoyed our stay. Plenty of room. Great amenities. The town is small but a nice place to walk. The home is right near the Ohio River. Beautiful view. Furniture is a little older and not the most comfortable for sitting. That's about the only needed improvement.

Comfy, Quiet, & Well Supplied
My parents, my sister, and I found this home to be just what we needed during our 4 night stay. There was plenty of living space, yard space, quiet streets to walk, and so many extras that we appreciated. The beds were comfortable, hangers were in the closet, shampoo & body wash in the shower, plenty of pots, pans, and kitchen appliances along with common spices/seasonings, games, & movies. If we had occasion to revisit the area, I wouldn’t hesitate one bit to stay here again. It was lovely.

Quiet and peaceful
The kids enjoyed the lake, play area down the road and talking with neighbor children. The adults enjoyed the peace and quiet. Went to museums and enjoyed the ability to come back relax and cook a well balanced meal for the family. Multiple tvs so everyone could watch what they wanted however this trip no television was needed. The kids were enjoying the outdoors. Thanks for a great place to stay.

Exceptional home
We are considered a big family in societies view 2 adults and 6 children. For a 2 bedroom 1 bath home the layout of the home helped our family feel right at home with plenty of room for all of us. It felt like home away from home for us all. Had everything we needed. And it was so close to the Creation Museum which is one of the reasons we picked this home. The roads are a bit of a challenge with the steepness and curves. But as long as you take it slow and steady you will be fine.

Great Little Vacation House
We stayed here for a couple days while we went to the Ark Enounter and Creation Museum. The house was very clean and had plenty of room for me, my husband, and our 4 kids! It’s located in a little quiet town. We enjoyed walking down to the Ohio River to collect seashells and watch the sunsets! The house was well equipped with kitchen items and a TV in each room if that’s your thing. We also enjoyed sitting on the front porch in the mornings and evenings. Overall, we had a great stay and would recommend!

Great spot for a family
We have five kids, and I was looking for a place to stay while we visited the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter. The house is located ten minutes from the Museum and 44 minutes from the Ark. There’s a playground nearby, the river in site, and is in a very historical small town.

This was a perfect spot to stay our ski trip. It was a short getaway trip for my twin sons and me. They are graduating this year and are off to college soon so trying to get in as much time as possible. We had a great time! Thank you!

Clean & very well appointed
Description is very accurate. Very comfortable. Controlling shower temperature was a little different. Turning water off is not all the way to one side as would be expected. It's necessary to turn knob toward a more central position. Adjusting temperature requires similar hunting but once understood works fine.

Host profile image
Dan and I live in Petersburg and choose to make this quiet little town our home. This is a great advantage to our customers for us to be so close. We can easily help you out with any of your needs or questions. We reside in the “Berkshire house” which was constructed around 1928 form the Brick of the old distillery building. Dan’s family has lived in Petersburg for 5 generations, so needless to say we are vested in our community. When traveling ourselves, we often stay in a vacation rental. We find this to be the best and most affordable choice for our family and we think that you will too. So we hope to welcome you to our community. Please feel free to contact us with any questions.


Sincerely,
Mary Hitzfield
