Peaceful & Serene

We stayed as a Church group. There needed up being 20 of us. We had an amazing time. Plenty of space for everyone. Nice trails down to the creek, nice yard for all the kids, the house was very peaceful, and we saw some wildlife while we were there. The house/property met all of our needs. We would stay again!

We had our whole family on this trip. It was very comfortable and met our needs. Probably the one thing that was slightly negative was that one adult couple had to sleep on the lower bunk bed with thinner mattresses which was less comfortable than the regular adult beds. It would have been nice if they had had better mattresses. But the whole experience was quite pleasant. Thank you for your home being open!

Family stay

Overall fantastic stay. Clean, roomy, plenty of towels and blankets. The 3 grand boys enjoyed ping pong, basketball and bunk beds. The 3 baby girls slept very comfortably in bunk beds next to the parents. Lovely bathrooms. Only hick up..grill was not in much shape to grill as expected. We substituted with very nice oven. There was a small child crying downstairs but considering we had 3 tiny cryers of our own, it was perfect. Hope our boys walking back and forth didn't disturb downstairs owners to badly. :)

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.

Really loved this property and the owners were very kind and responded to texts quickly! The ONLY downfall is we expected the entire home but the family lives in the lower level. I do believe that should be made completely clear, and the entire home should NOT be listed on the property. With that being said the home is stunning and we loved our time at Anam Cara!

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!)

Great for a larger family

This is such a lovely place. The location is out a little ways but so very beautiful. The place is spacious and clean. Loved the baby grand piano!!! Also, love the Bible verses all over. There are only two little suggestions I would have to improve things. 1 - switch the mattresses on the bunk beds from camp mattresses to real ones. The kids were pretty uncomfortable. 2 - A small complimentary packet of coffee

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.

Kristen was very helpful and professional. She immediately responded to questions that I had concerning my stay. The house itself was super clean and organized. We had 16 people staying, and there was plenty of space for each individual. If we come back to Kentucky, we will definitely stay here again.
