My husband and I brought our two widowed grandmothers to stay here for the weekend so they could see the Ark and Creation museum. This home was perfectly located between both! The house was so clean and so well stocked! The hosts were quickly communicative if we needed something! The second we walked in it felt like home! The hosts truly think of everything you’d need to stay here with the upmost comfortability! My grandmothers raved about the decor, high-end bedding, and fully stocked kitchen! We would 100% recommend this home to anyone and stay here again!

Fantastic Stay!!We absolutely loved our stay here! The place was super clean, cozy, and beautifully decorated—like something out of a magazine. It had everything we needed and more, and you can tell the owners really put thought and care into every detail. Nothing was spared when it came to comfort and style.The location was a huge bonus—just a short drive from the airport and perfectly situated between the Ark Encounter and the Creation Museum. It made exploring both attractions so easy and convenient.Highly recommend this spot to anyone visiting the area. We’d definitely stay again!

Even better than expected!

This historic home was perfect for our group of 4 senior adults, and when we walked in, it felt so friendly and welcoming! The kitchen and eating area are spectacular, and the beds were super comfy. It was handy to have one bathroom downstairs and one upstairs with the bedrooms. We didn't need to use the laundry area, but I wish mine at home looked like that! The living room is set up perfectly for sitting and chatting and the porch and back patio are wonderful. The location was perfect for visiting The Ark and the Creation Museum. The house is easy to access, but set back from the street, with ample, private parking. The whole area is so beautiful and you can even walk to get ice cream! Thank you for allowing us to stay in your lovely home.

The host was great to work with. Everything explained in the listing was accurate. The home was very clean and contained all the needed appliances. we especially enjoyed the newly remodeled home but also the period trim that was kept by the owners to give this home a special nostalgic feeling. Next time we are up that way we will book with them again.

Beautiful Home

What a blessing to find this beautiful little home, perfectly situated between the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum, which was the purpose for our visit! May be somewhat small in square footage, but every single space was so smartly put to use. There were six adults in our party and we never felt cramped. And to say, the owners have thought of everything, is an understatement! Whatever you need for your stay… Rest assured it will be there! We had an issue the last night of our stay, and the owners were their lickity split to rectify the problem. Very friendly and courteous! You won’t regret choosing this little gem!
