Perfect location for our family. We loved the farmhouse cabin. So cute and beautifully equipped. The drive from the farmhouse to the Ark was amazing and scenic farm country. We loved our stay and will definitely refer this cabin to our friends.

Great Trip

If going to Ark and Creation this Farmhouse is the perfect location, half way between both. If not it is still a terrific place to stay just two miles from Town of Independence. The host, Marlene Smothers made our stay really terrific.
