Great Stay

The place was great, we had a short stay, wish we would have had more time to take advantage of the property and amenities. We visited the ark and went to Disney on ice, very comfortable and hospitable. Would stay again.

Perfect place

We absolutely loved the place! It was the perfect location as we traveled to visit the Creation Museum and the Ark Encounter. The country setting by the water was relaxing and the kids enjoyed getting out on the boat to fish-and they caught one! Thank you for a lovely stay!

Really nice with thoughtful touches and inclusions

Enjoyed our stay. It was great for the time we were there. Much of the included facilities such as the boat and outdoor equipment was not used by us, but is a great inclusion for those staying longer or spending more time in the actual accommodation.

Perfect Fishing Camp!

A great place to put your feet up and relax after touring the Ark and Creation Museum. Getting a line wet with your grandson is an experience every grandfather should enjoy before he becomes a teenager and this is the the perfect place to make those memories!

VRBO convert

Place was just right for 1/2 way between Ark Encounter & Creation Museum. Brother & SIL always thought hotels were the better option until this stay. Cost, cleanliness and comfort were the key to turning them into vrbo converts.

Good location

This house is good once inside. The steps outside that have to be used to access the house are steep and hard to use if one has bad knees, legs or hips. (Not a good match for someone with mobility issues) The house itself was nice and the kitchen was well equipped for cooking. We enjoyed our stay. It was a great location for activities in the north Lexington, KY to Cincinnati, OH area.

Spring break to see the Ark

The property was beautiful the owner was very responsive. It was very relaxing sitting on the covered deck, reading and just being outdoors. It was the perfect getaway to relax from work and other life stressors to be with family and reconnect it was exactly what we were looking for. And the basket with the making for s'mores was the perfect touch. Having a washer and dryer was great so we didn't have to go home with dirty clothes that is always ideal for the mom!

Family Ark Encounter Weekend

We had family from GA and MI meeting at the cottage to go to the encounter the next day. It was only 17 minutes from the Ark Encounter. We enjoined the fire pit and dart board on the back deck. Some of us took the little boat out for a trip around the lake with the fall colors. The kitchen was adequately stocked for our two meals and breakfasts we made. We had plenty of space to sleep for our group of 7. The owner was quick to respond. We would definitely stay here again.

Our Stay

My wife and I enjoyed our stay very much. Great view and location. The home had everything we needed and wanted for a comfortable stay. There is a bee problem at the front corner of the house and the steps were very steep. None of these things mattered to us much but someone who wants to sit on the front deck would have a problem with the bees. Overall the house was cute and clean and had everything we needed. The covered back patio area was awesome.
