Convenient location for visiting the Ark, but…
The location for visiting the Ark is perfect. We had 12 ladies staying for the Answers for Women conference. The house was adequate for our needs. However, some of the ladies wanted me to mention that the bedroom carpets were not very clean. I found previous guests’ chips in the oven warming drawer. Nothing was gross, just not squeaky clean. Also, several light bulbs are out, there are not enough dishes (only 8 plates), insufficient blankets, and zero kitchen towels. The floor is unlevel throughout the house and squishy in front of one of the showers. One other thing to note, the train tracks are quite close, and the horn does blow at night. Overall, it was fine, but way overpriced for the quality of the home. I would grade this home a solid C. We have opted to find a different property for next year’s conference.

You could see the Ark from the back deck!
We were super close to Ark which was so nice. You could see it he Ark from the back deck!!!! Not too far from creation museum either. The company NeatSuites was super easy to deal with as well. Very accommodating and quick to respond. Plenty of items- pots, pans, spatulas etc... to cook with as well!! There were 16 of us and we had plenty of bed space and seating!!! It could have been cleaner, the bathrooms (toothpaste splatter on the mirrors and dirty potties) and the living room floor had to be swept to get the food crumbs up.

Some things to add or fix: Dish cloth and dish towels, a dish drainer Mirrors in bedrooms positioned for fixing hair or putting on make-up Windowless bedroom isn’t really a legal bedroom Plastic dishes need to go! Bedroom 3 has a squeaky door, nearest bathroom does as well

Property was good for a large group. There were 10 of us. The front porch and the back patio were great. Beds were very comfortable. The kitchen furnishings could have been better. Not much of an assortment of pots and pans, no juice glasses and no wine glasses. Overall, we had a great stay.

This house was perfect for the 12 of us. Close to the ark which was part of the reason for the trip! Good location to do a short walk in the neighborhood. Made our meals for breakfast and lunch. Had enough chairs as well for the 12 of us as well for our meals. Very clean and they are very organized and stay in contact if needed!

Hi Linda, I'm glad you enjoyed your stay! I wanted to let you know that we stock the house with kitchen towels, pot holders, and other kitchen essentials. It's possible they had either been removed by previous guests, or were just put back in an incorrect location. Either way I am sorry those were missing during your stay!

Church Youth Trip 2022
We had a group of 16 adults, teenagers, and one child, and this was probably the best house I have booked on a reward trip. Of course we had to arrange rooms and sides of the house, but it was so spacious, we had no problems fitting the group inside. We were able to spread out throughout the house, we were all able to sit in the living room to hang out. Double washer and dryer was very nice for washing clothes, as well as a kitchen with at least all the utensils we needed. The front yard is fairly small, but the road in front of the house isn't too busy. Also, if you pull a trailer, be careful about pulling into the driveway, it's pretty narrow and steep enough grade that your trailer could rub. As far as location, for those who wish the visit the Ark Encounter (highly recommended), it is only five minutes away, and there is an amazing Mexican restaurant very close by. The town is just up the road, and though we didn't visit it, it does look like a nice place to walk. There is also the Williamstown lake. It could have just been a not-so-great experience, but I would not recommend swimming. As someone who grew up swimming at lakes, we swam next to the Williamstown Marina and the water was very dirty. For those who wish to visit churches while on vacation, if you're willing to make the hour drive, visit Clay Mills Baptist Church, outside of Lexington. It is well worth the drive.

Cleanliness and good beds are important to me. Checked both of those boxes. Upon arrival, a few minutes before 4pm, cleaning super was there ensuring that a new cleaner did a good job. She was so nice and helpful and offered to leave immediately if we wanted that. Entire place was very clean. Location is minutes from Ark, and the front porch is perfect for hanging out and visiting. This is the perfect property for a large group visiting the Ark.

We stayed in this house while visiting the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum. The house was perfect for our family. It was clean and had all the space we needed, with six adults and six children, ages one to 13. The living room had plenty of space for all of us, and enough dining area for all. The three full bathrooms were great! And the bedroom layout worked perfect for us. The gas grill was in good shape and they even had a spare gas tank in case we needed it. The laundry room was great and they even furnished the soap. There was plenty of dishes, silverware, utensils, pots and pans, and even some extra items you might need. We recommend this house and would rent it again if we go back.

Great property and location, just not clean
The house is a great space for groups. It is the perfect location to the Ark Encounter. It had everything we needed. My only complaint (and it is a big one to me) is that it was not clean. The back trash was overflowing when we got there, the bathroom sinks and mirrors hadn’t been cleaned, the floors were so dirty that our socks were black from walking around, the dishwasher was full of dirty dishes, the drier was full of towels and sheets that hadn’t been put away... All of that to say, I contacted the property owners who were responsive, apologized for the inconvenience, looked into the issue (which was a new cleaning person at the company and it was their first day) and refunded us our cleaning fee. It was a bummer that the house wasn’t clean but I appreciate how the owners were responsive and took action to solve the issue. Hopefully this won’t be an issue for anyone in the future because it really is a great property!

St James was absolutely beautiful inside and out. Very modern and clean. Very easy t locate property and when we called the host about propane tank empty and a missing coffee pot the situation was taken care of within an hour. We were a group of 14 and had more than adequate room for all of us. The children absolutely loved the home with plenty of beds for all of us in the 5 bedrooms. Would recommend this to anyone visiting the area.

Awesome home away from home
We loved our stay. From the easy access to the Ark to all the special touches ( coffee machine with coffee provided to soap, shampoo, body wash and conditioner being provided) to plenty of seating and tables. Our family from my father 85 to my granddaughter 3 months old felt very comfortable. They had a pack n play. Jeremiah was very quick to answer any questions we had and even sent several messages to check and see if we were enjoying our stay. We were able to grill out as the grill is provided as well! I plan to recommend to all my friends to book this house if they want to see the Ark.

Great place for large groups!
This was a great place for our group of 17 (8 adults and 9 kids ages 5 and under)-especially the 3 bathrooms. There are many items in the house that wasn’t listed on the amenities description including: blender, rice maker, crock pot, pack n play, 2 extra twin beds, a grill (which had no propane), enough parking space for 4-5 large vehicles, shampoo/conditioner/body wash in each bathroom and room darkening curtains in most of the bedrooms. There is a train that runs constantly near by but wasn’t loud enough to bother. The front porch was amazing with all the gliders and there was plenty of seating throughout the rest of the house. I definitely recommend!

Super family stay in optimal location for Ark visit!
Super clean and updated, this family friendly home is in a perfect location for a visit to the Ark! My husband and I brought our grandchildren along with my sister and her kids for a visit to the Ark and Cinncinati Zoo. This location was optimal. The Ark is less than 2 miles, while the Zoo was a short scoot up the interstate. Quaint towns close by and a great meal at the local Mexican restaurant. The layout of the house was exceptional for our large family group with multiple kids. Rooms were all very spacious and furnished without feeling cramped. The large laundry made our return home with clean clothes a dream! Can't say enough about how kind and helpful the owners as well as the whole town seemed!

Clean and spacious
This property provided plenty of space for 4 adults and 10 children of various ages. The sleeping arrangements and 3 full bathrooms allowed us all the privacy we needed. The 3 tables also provided enough seating for everyone to dine at a table. The hard floors throughout the common areas and the lack of breakable decor made the space child-friendly. The only problem we encountered was that the propane tank on the gas grill was empty. All in all, we had a pleasant stay and would come again.

Perfect Fit For Family
Wonderful home for a large family gathering. Perfect location to visit the Ark Encounter. Home was cool and comfortable. Lots of space. Note to future guests- Bring your own laundry soap if you want to do laundry as none is available. Also, it was a plus to have a portable crib and much appreciated but there was not a high chair or infant seat available for eating at the table with the family. However, I would not let that keep you from booking as it was really a lovely stay and we hope to return in the future.
