IMPORTANT:

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.

    Search no more . This is the house if you are going to enjoy Kentucky. The house was clean, with a full equipped kitchen. The bedrooms were very nice and decorated very well. The house has 3 tvs and a nice dining table for a family! I am very satisfied with this house. Don't forget to check the attractions around there like the Ark Encouter, the Gorge in the Red River area and the Hocking Hills state park with a skylift to a natural bridge. What a nice vacation we had !

    We couldn't have been more pleased with our 3 night stay here. The home has been fully renovated, seemingly very recently, and everything was very clean. Rooms are spacious, tastefully decorated and well laid out. Furnishings are comfortable. There is a large, modern kitchen which is extremely well supplied. The Host is responsive and very well organized. Definitely a 10!

    We were there to visit the Ark and my daughter who recently moved to the area. This was the perfect place! It was convenient to everything she wanted us to experience. It really does look like the pictures. It is super clean and well equipped. Everything we needed was already there. All three beds were very comfortable and we all slept well in them. The trains were not an issue for us. We had to listen for them and were not disturbed by them at all.We felt right at home here and will definitely stay again. I could go on and on about this place but everyone else already has and they were telling the truth!These people know how to run a vacation rental! There was not one complaint or suggestion made from our usually picky group.

Communications with hosts were easy and check-in and out instructions were clear and reasonable. It would also be great for folks with kids, as it includes baby/toddler equipment and a fun swingset in the ample yard. If we return to the area, we'll stay here again!

    This property is ideally located in a quiet neighborhood but within a few minutes of restaurants and within an hour of several attractions, such as the Ark Encounter, Creation Museum, and Cincinnati. The hosts were quick to respond and so helpful. They did give a heads up that it's close to train tracks, and it is, but the train was not loud enough to be disruptive. Very comfortable furniture and kitchen and bathrooms had everything we needed. The house is updated with tasteful decor. We loved the playground outside and outdoor seating area. We would stay here again!

    Positives- The host is great & very responsive to all questions and concerns. The house is conveniently located between the ark & creation museum. It also has a huge grocery store & plenty of dining out options near by. The house itself is super clean and beautifully decorated! The house is nicely laid out to give everyone enough space (we had 4 adults and a child). The kitchen is well appointed and has all of the basic necessities & even some extras as well. There are plenty of towels in each bathroom. Comfortable beds and pillows. Plenty of outdoors area for kids to run & play as well as a table and fire pit for the adults to relax around. My son absolutely LOVED seeing the CSX train going back and forth- he was THRILLED. Opportunities- This is definitely a personal opinion, but It would be nice if the linens were washed in unscented detergents - although it is a pleasant fragrance, it can make it a little difficult for anyone with sensitivities (me). The swing set/trampoline outside could use a little upgrade; It seems to be at the end of life. The living room furniture, although beautiful, is not as comfortable for relaxing. We greatly enjoyed our visit. Thank you so much for your hospitality & courtesy.

    The house was lovely and pictures were true. The thermostat was a little off it would be cold in some portions of the house while other portion would be hot . But overall the house was great plenty of extras . Since we had three grand children with us the Easter snd dryer was great with plenty of detergent available . Plenty of toilet tissue and . Usually we have to buy extra so it was nice to have extra. The grass was a little long . We had bad weather one night and a huge limb fell from a tree, it fell across the walkway . We call the owners and he sent out the handy man to clear the limbs from the yard . We really appreciated the quick response.

    We sometimes need time away. The large suite allows for getaway. Our exhaustion might have played a part but neighbor train tracks weren't an issue. The other rooms are off separate mini hallways. As the adult you can hear what's going on but you don't have to be present.Kitchen Slayed some awesome meals but also played a big part of game night refreshments.

    This house had a great layout and big comfortable beds. Fire pit and all the amenities were perfect! The only thing I’d suggest is more “family friendly” and comfortable living room furniture; it is beautiful but not the most comfortable for a group to stretch out and lounge. Maybe adding a slimline recliner would help and go with the decor.

    The property was just as expected. We did hear the train a little but I don’t think anyone was sleeping when it happened. It didn’t disturb us at all. My adult daughter and I gave my elderly parents the master bedroom and it worked perfect. It was comfortable and spacious. We do concur with another review that the living room is not the most comfortable for lounging. But if you’re close with everyone. Turning around the chaise in the master bedroom brings a very cozy environment to watch a movie together after long days on our feet. The location was pretty perfect between the Ark and Creation museum. It seemed to be under 30 minutes in both directions and much lighter commutes than we are used to. We definitely want to come back and will recommend this property to others we know.
