This was the ideal place to stay as we went to the Ark one day and the Creation Museum the next. Also, we were happy to find the Family Restaurant just down the street. Awesome people and food.

We enjoyed our trip and family time together. The home was charming and definitely one of the cleanest homes we have stayed in while on vacation!Joe was great at responding to our messages whenever we corresponded with him! The only “downfall” was the main bathroom was upstairs but we made it work and would stay here again if ever in the area. The location was great with a couple local restaurants within walking distance and a short drive to pick up groceries.

Beautifully decorated and cozy. Having a half bath downstairs and the only full bath upstairs was a bit inconvenient but, all in all, a great property. Clean, well supplied, and comfortable. A lock on the upstairs bath would be a plus.
