Much better than a Hotel! Our home away from home.
A DEFINITE 5 star review!! What a great place! Much better than a hotel any day. We found the Cottage exactly what we needed for our trips to the Creation and Ark Museum about 20-40 minutes away. It was Ultra clean and provided everything we needed. We appreciated the AC and fans in the bedrooms a welcome relief from the heat/humidity. The neighborhood was quiet-no train sounds, airport sounds, sirens, just a nice quiet atmosphere. We felt safe and comfortable in and outside the Cottage. Can't say enough, but recommend the cottage for anyone wanting a great place to stay, with or without children. We stayed three nights and it was our relaxing home away from home. Wonderful hostess, Stephanie, makes it all happen smoothly at the Cottage. We would definitely stay here again!

Felt right at home.
Stephanie made this experience top notch. The home and accommodations where great and all we needed for a family of 6. Well furnished and very clean and cozy was how we felt during our stay. Also, her knowledge of the area and where to send us for groceries, dining out, and local hot spots made us feel like we already knew the area. The home location made for an easy (30 minute or less) trip south the Ark Encounter or north up to the Creation Museum and Cincinnati. All in all a great stay and a great host. Would love to return some day.

Wonderful!
My husband, sister-in-law, & I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the Cottage Near Ark/Creation Museum! Everything we could possibly need was provided! There was a very pleasant, clean odor that greeted us upon every entry - not strong at all, just nice & comforting. We loved the near location to restaurants & retail areas, to “the big city” of Cincinnati, the airport, and The Ark Encounter, the focus of our visit. Yet the house was situated in a beautiful rural setting. We could drive to everywhere we wanted/needed to go in 30 minutes or less! If ever back in the area, we would definitely stay here again.

Great stay
Overall perfect stay for a short visit to the ark encounter and the creation museum Perfect location between the two and if we had time we would have visited Ohio since it was so close Only thing is bathrooms are super small Bath tub may need a grip bar Mattress in the guest room was great (even the floor one) but the mattress in the master does have a dip in it on both sides Also you may want to get an ottoman for the feet especially after a long day of walking We appreciated the ice in the freezer and the filtered water in the fridge

Neat, clean well stocked home
We came to see the play at the ark, home was well stocked, neat, and clean. The keurig didnt serve hot coffee, and the other coffee thing put coffee grinds in the coffee, they didnt have a regular coffee pot. We bought one for us to use. The beds were not comfortable. But overall the house had everything else you could want and more.

Lovely cottage
Stellar experience with this rental. Cottage is in a quiet and easily accessible location, yet close to restaurants and shopping. The Interstate is only a few miles away. The house was immaculate and well-stocked. The beds had memory foam mattresses and comfy linens. Plenty of towels for all guests. I highly recommend this property.

Weekend Stay
We were really happy with our weekend stay at this centrally located home. This home was the right number of bedrooms and the right price to compete with getting a couple of hotel rooms. I prefer this, because it's much more comfortable in our downtime. The location is very convenient; especially, for anything in the Florence area. It seems to be a pretty quiet area, at least it was for our stay. There are some twisty roads that you need to navigate to get back to the neighborhood, but not too big of a deal. I really appreciated that there were plenty of supplies, particularly towels. Although we didn't need any more than normal, that cannot always be said. I've also had instances where we rented a place, cooked a big family dinner, and ended up with insufficient dish detergent. All that to say, it's really nice that we didn't have to think about anything other than enjoying our time. The decor was nice and uncluttered. There are two bedrooms. A master with a queen has a very firm mattress, and the other has a queen with a twin bunk. I was told the queen was soft and the bunk was firm. It could be a factor for you if you have a limiting condition. My only request would be to have a slightly later check-out time. 10am isn't unusual, but 11am provides a lot more flexibility. Late checkout wasn't an option due to us being the 1st on the cleaning schedule. Finally, the owner was great at communicating throughout the stay, and there were no unusual rules or requests.

Upon arriving we found the property clean. The home is beautifully decorated. Check in process was easy. It was a great location for visiting the Ark Encounter and the Cincinnati Reds game. There are plenty of restaurants close by for some great food. We are happy with our stay.

Really enjoyed our stay
Perfect location for airport, city center, Ark and Creation Museum visit. My children wanted to move in forever, especially after rolling down the hills in the backyard. Very clean, lots of towels, attentive host and large kitchen for family dining. It had everything a family needs. If it had laundry in home, it would be 100% perfect! We would definitely stay here again if we are able to return. Thanks for a memorable visit!
