Very clean and comfortable property close to the Ark Encounter. Easy to find and lots of amenities. Host was very helpful and provided good communication. Comfortable beds. Train noise nearby took some getting used too, but the large yard and comfortable surroundings made up for it. Thank you!

nice 3 bedroom, 2 bath house in a quiet neighborhood. really clean. roku tv easy to use, well supplied kitchen. well supplied towels. had small bottles of shampoo and body wash in shower (fine for 2 people, but not enough for 6 people); however, a call to the property owner remedied the situation quickly.only suggestion is, if you are a light sleeper, bring ear plugs. a main train line runs about a block from the house and is used frequently 24/7.we enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again, and recommend to all.

Communication with the host was smooth and timely from start to finish, which made the whole process easy and stress-free. The house itself was very clean and well-maintained, and everything was just as described in the listing. It felt comfortable and welcoming, and we had everything we needed for a pleasant stay. I would definitely recommend this place to others and would happily stay here again.

We came into town to check out the Ark Encounter (be prepared for long lines!). The house was great! Good location, clean and the owner was very communicative. I believe they live right next door.

Minutes from the ark

We had a great time with our family and grandchildren. The house was perfect for a family of our size (4 adults, 2 grandchildren and a 7 month old grandchild.) We all enjoyed the kitchen and island combo for meals together. Wish we could have stayed longer.

We visited the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum. The house was perfect for what we needed and very clean. Not close to restaurants and shopping if you are in need. That would be my only complaint.

Biggest complaint is the train that would go by all the time, sometimes every 15 mins. It was very loud and had trouble sleeping due to it. Nice yard for kids to play.

We had a very nice time. The open concept living/kitchen was great. The beds were very comfortable. The air conditioning works wonderfully! There was a lovely outdoor table and chairs on the deck which was shaded in the afternoon. We took advantage of the fire pit to roast marshmallows…yummy. My only complaint is that the lawn needed to be mowed but it wasn’t terrible. I highly recommend this rental.

Perfect location for visiting the Ark. Easy 15 minute drive to the Ark. Located 5–7 minutes from Walmart and all the restaurants. Very quiet neighborhood…perfect for a family to stay. Nice yard fenced around the back if you need to let the kids out to play for a little bit. Clean on the inside. Plenty of towels.
