IMPORTANT:
1- We provide a swing set for our younger guests' enjoyment. To ensure their safety, we require adult supervision at all times. Please note that injuries are the responsibility of the supervising adult, not the establishment. The swing set is suitable for children aged 3 to 8 years, weighing no more than 100 pounds, to prevent damage to the equipment. Any damages to the swing set will incur a replacement fee. We appreciate your cooperation in following these guidelines to keep a safe and fun environment for everyone.
2- Sweet Retreat is somewhat close to a train track, and while the sound is gentle enough not to disturb, it’s worth noting if absolute silence is crucial for your stay. Please keep this in mind when booking.

Adorable renovated home
This was a really cute property very convenient to the interstate. The amenities of the home were wonderful. The overall location took away one star because there is a train track close by and trains run all night as well.

Very impressed!
This rental was incredibly pretty and clean. We were all so very comfortable in your house. We not only enjoyed the tourist attractions we came to KY to see, we actually looked forward to the mornings and evenings that we spent in the house. This was so much better than staying in a hotel. We hated to leave!

So cute?
We were so pleased with our stay! The house was decorated so cute and they had all the amenities that you could think of for your stay, including some K-cups. It was conveniently located close to the interstate making it very easy for us to get to the Creation Museum and The Ark Encounter! And it sits halfway between both! Could not have asked for a better place to be!

Great Place to Stay
The house is really lovely - nicely decorated, clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Our group consisted of 4 adults (2 couples) so the layout was perfect with 2 bathrooms. We didn't use the firepit, but it certainly looked like a great place to spend an evening. The shopping center that is close by had a number of restaurants and a grocery store. There is also a Starbucks. The location was perfect for our day trips to the Creation Museum, the Ark and the Newport Aquarium. All in all, I would definitely recommend the house and will stay here again if we are ever in the area again.

Exploring Cincinnati & Kentucky
Our 6 night stay in this beautiful home was perfect. The property is in a very nice neighborhood. It’s extremely clean and beautifully decorated. The beds & bedding are extremely comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped with top of the line appliances and kitchen tools. This beautiful home is perfectly located for day trips all around the Cincinnati area and beyond, and it’s an easy 1hr drive to all the must see sites that Louisville & surrounding area has to offer, including the Kentucky Derby Museum/Churchill Downs, Louisville Slugger Museum, Muhammad Ali Center, Jim Beam Distillery, and many other distilleries. If you’re planning a trip to the Cincinnati & Kentucky area I highly recommend this home as your base.

Perfect Location for our Vacation
This house was the perfect location for our vacation. We visited the Ark Encounter and the Creation Museum. We also visited Cincinnati, OH and the Newport Aquarium in Newport, KY. The house was AMAZING!! We were really impressed by the thoughtful attention to detail that this house provided. The property managers were very quick to reply to any questions that we had and also provided to us through email information about directions to the property, check in prior to our check in date and recommended restaurants in the area upon our request. We truly enjoyed our stay!

Absolutely Perfect!
This was a perfect experience. The location is exactly the same distance to The Ark Encounter as it is to the Creation Museum so right in the middle. The home is beautiful, the place was immaculate. The A/C blows cold and has perfectly appointed kitchen and bathrooms. I highly recommend this to anyone visiting The Answers in Genesis sites. We will definitely be back.

Perfect Beautiful Place
This house is absolutely hands down the most beautifully decorated vrbo we've ever stayed at! Walked in to everything spotlessly clean. Bedding smelled amazing & kitchen was stocked with everything we needed and more! We cooked breakfast and supper all 3 days and had every pot/pan & utensil you could want. Looks exactly like the online pictures with a very spacious master bedroom. Loved having a washer & dryer with soap provided! Highly recommend for anyone of you looking for a comfy place to stay!

Clean, new interior with tasteful decor in a great location! Awesome!
This property was perfect for our recent visit! Everything in the home was new and spotless. The owners decorated it beautifully and put a lot of thought into the details. The kitchen was equipped with everything that we needed. The beds and bedding were very comfortable and the Roku TVs were awesome. The location was super convenient and just a short drive from the Creation Museum and the Ark Encounter. Thank you for all of the effort that you put into this home. I highly recommend it!
