The home is absolutely breath-taking! There were plenty of beds and bedding for all of us. It was also close to the Ark, which was great. I just wish we could have stayed for more than one night.

Out of the way escape

We stayed there after a long day at the Ark Encounter. The house is very nice and clean with plenty of room however there aren’t places to eat nearby so best to bring your own food. We were only there one night but it would be a nice place to stay longer at.

We stayed here because we had a family of 12. House was very clean and had everything we needed. It was a 30 minute drive to the Ark but it was worth it. The drive was beautiful and so was the property.

Beautiful Home and Location

Our stay was wonderful. The communication when needed was quick and resulted in us having a fantastic stay with the owners providing us with anything we needed! Definitely recommend. The property is beautiful with a wonderful back yard the kids played in and the house was spacious enough for our 12 guests! (8 of which were children under the age of 11!)
