    This place was great, we were able to stay close to the ARK and not too far from the Creation museum. It was very clean and well maintained, and it was prefect for our family of 4 with plenty of room. The owners were very nice and accommodating. The kitchen and air conditioning were also very nice and we experienced no issues while visiting.

    This was the best home away from home I have ever stayed in! The host family members are top notch individuals who want to share their knowledge and farm experience with the community. This cabin was spotless, welcoming, and the perfect fit for our 6 guests. The kids loved the slides, and the loft in the cabin. We all enjoyed the goats, calves, and the fire pit. The kitchen was very nice, although we only used the refrigerator and coffee pot. However, if we would have had more time we talked about buying a frozen pizza, etc. Debra was so easy to communicate with and was gracious to arrange and share some milk with us, it was so delicious! You will not regret the scenery and serenity. We had a friendly squirrel come to us on the porch, and a few visits from a funny groundhog too. We were so happy to be able to stay all together, my daughter her 3 children, and my best friend from childhood drove from Iowa to join us at the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter, We stopped at the Bluegrass Pug Fest in Louisville on the drive back to Oklahoma, then Texas.

It has a nice front yard for the kids to get out and run around or sit on the porch swing and watch the beautiful sunset! If ever given the chance, I would definitely stay here again!

    The tiny house was perfect for our trip to the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum. We had a disabled veteran who needed a recliner to sleep so the reclining couch was perfect for him. The bedroom was perfect for our elderly friend who joined us and I was able to sleep upstairs. We were able to get some groceries and have breakfast on the porch and enjoy the sunsets on the swing. We loved being on the farm and off the beaten path. Perfect distance from both the Ark and museum. We loved being treated like we were family at the pumpkin events every night. And THANK YOU for providing a shower chair for my husband to be able to shower. You thought of all the little things and the stay was one we all will never forget. Only 2 small suggestions. 1. As a disabled veteran, my husband would love it if you could get a light on the flag that you have outside. 2. Please have some kind of floor grips in the shower, it was a bit slick when all wet. God bless you all! It was a perfect stay and we will be recommending it to all our friends who want to visit the Ark.

    Amazing place to stay! It’s right in the middle of the Ark Encounter and the Creation Museum, has the most beautiful view, a play set for kids to play on, the owner is SO kind and let our kiddos feed the calves and goats, and is so peaceful. Everything was very clean which is a huge deal to me! Would definitely recommend! The mini golf nearby was fun as well! Would recommend eating at Fords Garage, Hansie Flip Burger, Whippy-Dip, the Kentucky Y’all Icebox (AMAZING ice cream).

We stayed in mid-May and got to see not only cows, goats and chickens on our drive onto the property, but also a large variety of wildlife. Several species of songbirds, wild turkeys, rabbits, squirrels, and even got to hear coyotes in the distance one night. There were several species of wildflowers to be spotted as well!The cabin was clean and excellently stocked. Having laundry on-site was very helpful. The host was great at communicating and quick in responding. We would 100% stay here again. responded quickly.
