Nice little house.

This is a nice little house, just a few miles from the Ark. The only reason I rated at four stars instead of five is that the shower curtain has orange mold at the bottom, and what appears to be boogers crusted on the inside. Everything else was nice and clean. Plenty of towels and comfortable beds. This was a pleasant place for me and my family while we enjoyed The Ark and Williamstown.

Incredible... felt like home

This house was perfect for our family while at the Ark. The house was clean and beautiful. Toys for the little one, comfy couches for relaxing in the evening, an incredible wrap-around porch with a great table... we couldn't have been happier. Thank you!

Our Minnie vacation stay

The property was clean. It had a slight musty smell. The beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed the deck immensly. It was nice and quite and sitting out on deck every morning with a cup of coffee was very relaxing. If we every head back to kentucky I would like to stay there again.

Convenient and suits needs

Overall: the property met our basic needs and is much better than staying at a hotel (with one big room with 2 queens) with two children under 3. Pros: location to ark, easy to check in/out, well stocked with necessities (bonus: first aid kit, shampoo/condition/soap, tp, paper towel), toys for littles, tidy property Cons: not necessarily “clean” floors for crawling babies

The Burnett’s

The house was just as listed. I was surprised that it was supplied with everything we needed (paper towels/toilet paper/soap/shampoo/ EVERYTHING! Our gps took us the wrong way and I called the property manager and she stayed on the phone with me and walked us through directions until we pulled into the driveway. Loved the porch and the fact it was so close to the Ark Encounter.

Great stay very near to the Ark

This house is about a mile from the Ark so it is very convenient. The house has 3 bedrooms and 1 bath. The beds were comfortable. The bathroom met our needs but it would have been nice to have another half or full bath. The living room and kitchen had plenty of space and the table was nice to play games on. We commend the follow places to eat: Mexican restaurant next to Ark, Edwardo Pizza, Cattleman’s Roadhouse and The Bean. The host of the house was very responsive and helpful. We would recommend this house and would stay again if we come back to the Ark.

Home near Ark Encounter

We were taking a weekend to see the Ark Encounter. This home is about 2 minutes from the Ark Encounter and was perfect for that. We only stayed 2 nights and weren't at the home much, but it was nice to have that added space for each kid to have their own room. The only downfall for us is we wished there was a tv in the bedrooms. When there is a wide age gap in the kids and then us adults, we all wanted to just have a bit to lay in bed and unwind watching tv for a few minutes after a long day.

Not a bad place to stay

The house was nice and cozy, however when we arrived the house smelled very musty inside. There were also a few dishes that we found that were dirty/greasy that were in cabinets. The beds were pretty comfy and had adequate blankets/pillows. The shower also has very good hot water and water pressure but lacks a little in the shower head quality as it more so feels like being sprayed with a broken garden hose... Overall not a bad place to stay but could use some attention to the noted details

Location could not be batter

An older property, the house has slope inside in two different directions. Multiple spiders inside the property. Those were the only negatives. Positives, location for the Ark Encounter could not be better, the kitchen is very well appointed with everything needed. Privacy was excellent and the kids (teens) loved the fireflies. The dehumidifier was very nice to have. UNO was fun, a few more games might be nice, but that could be hard to do. Communication was excellent with the hostess. I think we are all used to hotels and taking out the trash might have been a bit of a surprise responsibly, just for us.

The Ark was less than 2 miles from the property, so that was fantastic. They had games to play with was good because of the outdated tv. Overall the stay was good, we had pizza delivered the second night, delivery drive complimented the home and we agree.
