We had a wonderful time at this sweet farmhouse! All the amenities we needed and centrally located.
We had a wonderful time and thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The owners have done a wonderful job on the property. The lids enjoyed swimming in the pond and fishing in the other pond. We also had several visits to Jack the Donkey. Kids also love the train coming by. We highly recommend this property!

Lovely Christmas Trip
This home was perfect for the 6 of us. Our family had a blast cruising around the farm and visiting the animals. Our kiddos did a lot of exploring. Scott was so helpful with answering all of our questions and providing maps of the property. The home had everything we needed and more. Plenty of paper towels, toilet paper, trash bags, laundry detergent, dish detergent, etc - things many rentals don’t provide. There kitchen was fully stocked, allowing us to cook meals as if we were at home. The house is cozy and homey. We loved the addition of the wood stove and it kept us very warm! The house has been updated nicely and the TVs in each room were a plus. We visited both the Ark Encounter and the Creation Museum. Make sure you snag a Dramamine for the Ark Encounter drive - it’s a curvy doozy. Overall great location and great experience. We loved the small town farm experience and would definitely stay again.

Relaxing and Fun
We had the best time. From sitting under the stars by the fire pit to listening to the tranquil sounds of the trains. My grandson loved the animals at the barn. We walked the trail around the farm. The house was so inviting. We had everything needed for a quiet vacation. Thanks for your hospitality and lovely home. Kaffie from Mississippi.

Rustic living
Loved feeding and enjoying the animals. House was in the “country” so a little off the beaten path. Beautiful countryside, and home was as advertised. A little rustic, and would have liked a bit more in the bathroom - clothes hooks and more towel hanging space. Jackie, Big T and Ramuel were our favorites! Totally delightful!

Perfect family getaway!
Amazing! The location is perfect for those who want something a little bit more country but not so far away that you can't run 20 minutes up the road to run to the store ( which where we are from is close!). Plenty of privacy and backyard for the kids to play in. Ours particularly loved the swing! There is an active train track that runs along the property but the owners have earplugs stashed everywhere if the noise bothers you while sleeping. Well stocked kitchen, outdoor grill and seating, and comfortable beds. Our family enjoyed staying here immensely and would definitely stay here again!

Trip to the Ark
The property was perfect for us. It has a rural location. Enjoyed driving through the countryside of rolling hills . We took a different route each day to the Ark. The drive to the Ark seemed relatively short. There are well marked walking paths on the property. My sister has apps that identify sounds of birds and identify foliage that made our walks even more enjoyable. My father uses a rollator (walker). There’s a ramp on front porch. Shower chair was provided and he was able to independently take care of himself. The owner promptly answered my questions. Also, the property is very clean.

More than just a place to sleep
My husband and I stayed at this property with three of our grandchildren on a recent visit to the Ark Encounter. On the way to the property, our car broke down, and I believe every person in the small town stopped to help. Officer Schmeing, who is also a mechanic, saved the day! The grandkids were super excited to find a swing in the backyard and games to play in the kitchen. They loved feeding the animals, which vied for attention with moo’s, baa’s, and heehaws, much to the delight of the kids. The river was a short walk through the field and the kids enjoyed finding large shells. There was so much to do on the property, the kids wore themselves out and slept well. The house was very clean and artfully decorated. The beds were very, very comfortable. There is a train track nearby, by the sound wasn’t loud enough to disturb anyone; it just provided another cool aspect for the grandkids. The owners were thoughtful and left a tray of snacks. I would definitely stay at this property again!

A gorgeous house in a peaceful, serene setting. I have nothing but positive things to say about our vacation experience and enjoyed our stay very much. If you are looking for a house with charm and history in a quiet, beautiful country setting then this is your place. The house had plenty of space for our family of four. The hosts had every thing we needed to make our stay comfortable. We hope to come back soon.

Ark Encounter trip
This was a great place. Not a long drive to Ark Encounter or Creation Museum. The house was clean and everything was as described. We used the deck/outdoor space a lot. Scott was a great host, allowing access to their property. Our family enjoyed both ponds with swimming, fishing, and kayaks/row boat, as well as hiking to the river. We also enjoyed visiting the animals in the barn. The only negative was the train that came through every night. Woke us every time, but I’m a light sleeper. Our kids did like looking for their crushed pennies though.

We had an awesome stay during our visit to Kentucky. Close to the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter. Owner took us on a tour of the place, beautiful spot. We loved the animals in the barn and being able to walk down to the river. The pond by the house was great fun for swimming.
