    This property was very clean and we enjoyed our time here. It is conveniently located between The Ark Encounter and The Creation Museum which is where we visited. We stopped at the Newport Aquarium on our way to The Upper Room and ate a delicious supper at Barbeque Bob's restaurant. The evening before we left we had ice cream at the little roadside diner on Main Street just down the road from The Upper Room. Thanks for allowing us to use the space.

    We loved our stay at the Homey Haven. Everything was clean, cute, and comfortable. The host provided everything we needed, even laundry detergent. We got used to the train. We enjoyed watching it pass from the deck, and then we got used to it. It wasn't a problem. The AC units in the rooms were a bit loud as they turned on and off, but that wasn't a big deal either. It was a lovely stay. I would definitely recommend the place to friends.

    We had a wonderful stay. A lovely 2 bedroom. Owners have thought of all the little things to make any stay amazing. I forgot my hairdryer and discovered they had one for us, along with a flat iron. Washing machine with laundry detergent and fabric softener. All the kitchen items you’d need to prepare any meal and keep your leftovers fresh. Coffee and creamer if you’ve forgotten to pack your own. Charging stations for smartphones by each of the bedsides. Roku in each bedroom and living room. The beds are comfy and linens are clean and soft. I will gladly recommend this as a stay to others and will gladly book with them in the future when I go with others to see the Ark.

    This upstairs apartment was a great stay! The space was clean and well stocked with everything we needed for the trip (including washing detergent, coffee, etc.). There is obviously lots of care that goes into this space, and it is appreciated! The hosts being so helpful and kind is just an added bonus!The only reason we ranked a 4/5 is the proximity of the property to the railroad track. It was quite loud during the night. However, if you have a train enthusiast in your group, you can watch the trains go by from the glass door or outdoor deck!

    My son and I basically moved in for five days and made it our home. It had everything we could possibly need. The location is perfect. The hosts are very accommodating… any time of day or night.We preferred to stock up on food and utilize the kitchen. But if needed, plenty of restaurants close by.Excellent stay.

    We stayed here for 4 nights in April/2026. I have to say this place is Adorable! It is so warm and inviting! Nicely decorated! Plus I think the hosts have gone above what is normally expected, with white sheets and towels so you can see how clean they are, supplying coffee pods, sugar, creamer, and filters! Their attention to detail shows how much care they put into the place. Plus the communication was excellent from the start. The low area on the steps and the train did not bother us as we read about it ahead of time! I highly recommend staying here for your visit to the area!

    Very well appointed home. Lots of lovely little extra touches to make the stay enjoyable. Comfortable small space, just what I needed. Loved the private deck to the back. The description mentions trains. Personally wasn’t bothered by that noise. When I reached out to the owner they answered quickly and were very helpful. Will definitely rent this one again next time I’m in the area.

    It was a great place to stay, it had all the essentials to cook some meals, was very clean and decorated nicely. The hosts did a great job communicating in a timely manner and gave great suggestions for local restaurant and questions we had about the Ark Encounter and Creation museum. It was located half way between both of these places which was really nice. I had my concerns about the train being too loud, but read that other people were not bothered by it. We slept just fine and there were sound machines but we did not use them.

Enjoyed the deck, the fireplaces and a movie night on the large TV! Note that there is a train nearby and the beds are soft. We would stay here again!

    Clean, cozy, comfortable “home” with a well furnished kitchen that has all the necessary appliances. Host did not skimp on the little details to make our stay easy & convenient, like iPhone charging pads on each nightstand & a supplied coffee station. We came prepared with earplugs in case the train noise got unbearable, but the noise wasn’t too bad that we didn’t need them. Would definitely recommend this place for those interested in visiting the Ark Encounter & Creation Museum.

    Great place to stay, perfect location to visit the Ark and Cincinnati. My wife and I both enjoyed the back deck after a long day to sit and unwind, very private and comfortable place to stay. Kelly Q's diner is a short walk from here which is a great place to eat, and was a awesome benefit of staying here.

Big screen TV’s in every room, loved the back deck. Every need was available in this very nice place! We felt safe and it is conveniently located between the Ark and Creation museum. Thank You for a great place to make memoirs with our family.
