    The historic side of it. It would have been great to have had a book or something inside the unit to tell the story behind this historic home.

    The check in process was concise and easy. The house was as presented through pictures and clean. 6 adults and 6 kids to our party. The kids loved the arcade games! We enjoyed movies on the sectional and likes that our 3 smaller families all had our own space with a. Bathroom. The twin beds were stow-away beds which turned out just fine for kids. The location was prime for us to walk to dinner each night which was a highlight of our days after traveling by car around the area.

    Overall the stay was great! Very roomy and up to date. My only (very small) issue is there was no where but the fridge to put the food we brought in. The location was great! We walked downtown a few times and they have cute little shops. Very close to the ARK! I’d stay there again for sure!

    Perfect for our family’s short trip. We were so close to the ark, stores, and food. We had everything we needed. We were very comfortable and enjoyed our time.

    Lots of communication from property questions, early check-in to type of coffee makers!! This property was perfect for three couples, especially since each couple had their own attached bathrooms. Great place to gather, as well as have space of our own. Very clean - and I have pretty high standards for cleanliness, so I was impressed. Easy check-in. We didn't do any cooking, but the kitchen was large and had two dishwashers! Plenty of room to move around if there are a lot of people in the kitchen, and plenty of space to sit for dining.

    The home was everything our group of 5 adults and 4 kids needed. Great kitchen, comfortable living room, and nice layout of space. The video games and disc golf were frosting on the cake!

    We stayed for 2 nights and would loved to have stayed longer! My staff and I attended a conference in the area and the house provided plenty of beds for us to feel comfortable with the sleeping arrangements and plenty of bathrooms to allow all 10 of us to get ready each morning! We all enjoyed and said that we would not have any issues with staying at this location again!

    The accommodations were over the top, got a visit from the judge, did the Ark Encounter and Museum, enjoyed the small town hospitality and was awesome knowing we had a safe place to lay our heads down every night. Have already recommended to friends and family to stay when in town.

    We were very pleased with the house - plenty of room for our entire crew. Spent two nights while visiting the Ark Encounter ( 5 minutes away) Kitchen was well stocked. Communication with the manager was great. The only things I’d point out is that on the listing it shows 2 bedrooms as having a twin/single and a queen bed - these are not actual beds - they are cots - only one had a frame to put the mattress on. It worked fine for us though - one was used by a toddler on the floor and the other by a small teenager. The only other thing was that it’s about a 10 minute drive to any restaurants ( which other than fast food - were very limited- and several were closed on Sunday and Monday) We did eat dinner ( ordered online/to go) at Beans cafe and Bakery. Everything we ordered was very good and we also bought a loaf of their sourdough. Coffees and doughnuts looked like they would be yummy too, but we ate our breakfast at the house. All that said - we would stay there again and would definitely recommend it. Thank you for a very enjoyable and relaxing visit.
