We loved our stay! It was the perfect space for our whole family. The full kitchen, laundry, and large bedrooms were great for travelling with kids. A very clean, spacious, and peaceful place. Craig was very prompt in responding to questions or needs during our stay. If you're looking for somewhere quiet and peaceful, this is it! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend it!

We enjoyed the many amenities and friendly host of this house “in the country” but minutes from fine dining, local Walmart, coffee, the Ark encounter and Creation Museum. Overall, a great time was had and the location was really a good fit for our family

Has everything you need for a quiet getaway. Close to all the area attractions, The Ark Encounter, The Creation Museum, and Cincinnati. Which is why we were there. Our family of 5 enjoyed every minute!
