The Third Monkey 2 Miles from Ark Encounter

Welcome to The Third Monkey

You may be curious about the name “The Third Monkey.” It’s inspired by an old saying: “Never seek out a fight, but if you must fight, fight like you’re the third monkey on the ramp to Noah’s Ark… and brother, it’s starting to rain.” This sentiment, emphasizing determination and resilience, felt perfectly fitting given our proximity to the Ark Encounter. Just as the third monkey was ready to fight for a place on the ark, we are dedicated to ensuring your stay is nothing short of excellent. We’ll strive to provide the best experience possible, resolve any unexpected issues, and continuously improve based on your feedback. We encourage you to share your thoughts on what you enjoyed, what could be improved, and any suggestions you may have to enhance future stays.

Great Property

We had spent the day at The Ark Encounter and stayed at this property for the night. Just a short distance from the Ark which was perfect for the 4 adults in our party. We appreciated how clean it was and well maintained. Communication was great as well.

Third Monkey

Lots of amenities in the kitchen and new appliances. The place looks brand new and decorated beautifully. TVs in every bedroom. We didn't use the nice deck or grill.

Nice place

I was a little surprised it was a duplex, but it was quiet and pretty, and had obviously recently been redone just for renting out like this, nobody lives there. It's extremely close to the Ark Encounter, and the little Main St businesses nearby were nice to visit as well. There was coffee, but no cream or sugar. Cooking utensils, but no grilling utensils. Only a couple seasonings, nothing in the fridge like condiments etc. So plan ahead with food! My kids loved that there were TVs in both living areas and the bedrooms. We would stay again! I would just be more prepared in ways since this is not a lived-in home normally. Lance was very quick to respond when I had a question too. Overall, it was wonderful!

This was our first time at a VRBO and we loved it! Everything about the property was as advertised. The owner was friendly and helpful because we had questions due to our inexperience. We highly recommend The Third Monkey 2 to everyone, especially those who are going to the Ark Encounter.
