Stay was for the Ark Encounter experience. This was the most peaceful, pleasant stay of my life! My 88 year old mother fell in love with the home. And it felt like a home. Beautifully decorated in the country farm theme. The hostess Sherry was a joy! She is one of the most friendly and creative host's I have ever dealt with. We will definitely be back!

The house was absolutely, without a doubt, the perfect, cozy, comforting place to stay for rest and relaxation. Anyrhing you needed, it was there at the house. Upon our arrival, we were greeted by the hostess with a warm welcome which was quite comforting and welcoming. We were visiting the Ark Encounter which is aboit 15 minutes away. This place is a MUST stay. Above all, you will be touched deeply by a beautiful soul.

Sherry is the nicest host I’ve ever dealt with. Her communication is fantastic. This house is about 5 or so minutes from the Ark Encounter. We were given a detailed tour of the house on arrival, and Sherry was very involved with our kids by showing them all the little animals she has place around the house for them to find. We also appreciated our loaf of bread she made for us. Above all the rental was extremely clean. You cannot go wrong with this one. A from our family!

We were VERY happy with our short one night stay. Owner is very helpful, thoughtful and the property is so peaceful and great place to relax after a full day of activities. House was spotless and well maintained, beds comfortable, plenty of condiments in the fridge and shampoo, body wash in bathroom. Plenty of outdoor seating to enjoy the peace and quiet. We would absolutely stay here again!

When we arrived on 7-27 we met Sherry in the driveway so she could show us the view of the Ark. After that she showed us to the house and I have to say what an awesome place. Very quiet and secluded. She showed us around the house and told us stories of previous visitors and we felt so at home. The property is very comfortable and Sherry definitely tends to all you're needs and questions. Highly recommend this property if you are looking for a place while visiting the Ark and Creation museum.. Also Sherry will have a special treat for you upon arrival.We stayed 7-27-25 to 7-30-25.. Thank you Sherry!

This place is wonderful. Very clean and Ms Sherry is so sweet and helpful. I loved the fire pit, porch swing. Only thing I would have done different. Is to bought some groceries before we got there. Other than that it’s a great place for a getaway. It’s so peaceful.planning going back in the fall.

Property took me back to my childhood a little town in West Tenn. The place was just comforting. I was able to sit on front porch rocking with my coffee and the sun rise. So much better than hotel stay worth the extra coins.

Sherry was an excellent host. She greeted us at the meeting site and we followed her down her propertys road to the house. The house was neat and nicely decorated with little animals hidden throughout for the kiddos enjoyment. (Be sure to bring a tiny animal to hide for her and other visitors) Sherry gave us a tour of the house, showing us where everything is, including extra blankets and board games. She gave us a loaf of homemade banana bread and it was a delicious breakfast treat that we all enjoyed. This is the best vrbo experience we've ever had. Thanks for welcoming our Girl Scout Troop. Wishing you many more visitors. God bless.

My Happy Place was terrific! Sherry was an excellent hostess and the house couldn’t have been better. She made sure everything that we could ever need was there. Plus, she is a great person!!! The house is in a quiet location and you can even see the ark from the property. We couldn’t have picked a better place to spend our vacation .
