    We had a wonderful stay in this home! The beds are a nice memory foam and with comfortable pillows, it made for a good nights sleep. The decor is really nice and it truly felt like 'home'. Love the fully supplied kitchen & coffee bar including the 'to go' cups. :) The bathroom shower was great and the shower head was high enough for my tall husband. Nightlights in the bathroom didn't work when the switch on the wall was off. But there are nightlights in the kitchen that supplied light in the hallway and into bathroom. So not a big deal unless you need a lot of nightlight in the bathroom. The community is also nice and we felt safe taking a walk in the evening. Chatted with some neighbors along the way too. The Ark Encounter is very close (about 4 miles away). Not too many restaurants (or we just didn't find them) but a Cracker Barrell is a short 8 minute drive. Gina, host of JC Cottage, kindly gave us a little history of this home. Thank you Gina! Loved being in your Grandma's renovated home! We experienced both a fresh updated space as well as the warm history (like the beautiful wood throughout the home). I highly recommend staying in this comfy & cozy home! I'd stay again in a heartbeat!!
