  • This water tower visible from the interstate passing through Florence KY has an interesting history. The developers of the yet to be built Florence Mall gave the land to build the water tower to the city in return the tower would be painted as an advertisement reading FLORENCE MALL. Completed in 1974, the water tower almost immediately came under scrutiny for violating the state's law on sign height. The $472 solution? Modify the 'M' into a 'Y', giving the water tower its now famous southern salutation.

Perfect house for family

It was a birthday trip to the Arc and Museum and the house is settled almost between the two venues. The house is adorable, very clean and having two bathrooms is a big bonus. The neighborhood is quiet and a large grocery chain is just minutes away.

Great central location for Creation Museum/Ark/Airport

We had a wonderful stay. The host was very communicative about what to expect. The house was super clean and well appointed. We were traveling to both the Creation Museum and the Ark Encounter, and the house was in between both of them which was very convenient! We would definitely stay here again!!!

Lovely cottage

Stellar experience with this rental. Cottage is in a quiet and easily accessible location, yet close to restaurants and shopping. The Interstate is only a few miles away. The house was immaculate and well-stocked. The beds had memory foam mattresses and comfy linens. Plenty of towels for all guests. I highly recommend this property.

Really enjoyed our stay

Perfect location for airport, city center, Ark and Creation Museum visit. My children wanted to move in forever, especially after rolling down the hills in the backyard. Very clean, lots of towels, attentive host and large kitchen for family dining. It had everything a family needs. If it had laundry in home, it would be 100% perfect! We would definitely stay here again if we are able to return. Thanks for a memorable visit!

Great stay

Overall perfect stay for a short visit to the ark encounter and the creation museum Perfect location between the two and if we had time we would have visited Ohio since it was so close Only thing is bathrooms are super small Bath tub may need a grip bar Mattress in the guest room was great (even the floor one) but the mattress in the master does have a dip in it on both sides Also you may want to get an ottoman for the feet especially after a long day of walking We appreciated the ice in the freezer and the filtered water in the fridge

Felt right at home.

Stephanie made this experience top notch. The home and accommodations where great and all we needed for a family of 6. Well furnished and very clean and cozy was how we felt during our stay. Also, her knowledge of the area and where to send us for groceries, dining out, and local hot spots made us feel like we already knew the area. The home location made for an easy (30 minute or less) trip south the Ark Encounter or north up to the Creation Museum and Cincinnati. All in all a great stay and a great host. Would love to return some day.

Wonderful!

My husband, sister-in-law, & I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the Cottage Near Ark/Creation Museum! Everything we could possibly need was provided! There was a very pleasant, clean odor that greeted us upon every entry - not strong at all, just nice & comforting. We loved the near location to restaurants & retail areas, to “the big city” of Cincinnati, the airport, and The Ark Encounter, the focus of our visit. Yet the house was situated in a beautiful rural setting. We could drive to everywhere we wanted/needed to go in 30 minutes or less! If ever back in the area, we would definitely stay here again.

Much better than a Hotel! Our home away from home.

A DEFINITE 5 star review!! What a great place! Much better than a hotel any day. We found the Cottage exactly what we needed for our trips to the Creation and Ark Museum about 20-40 minutes away. It was Ultra clean and provided everything we needed. We appreciated the AC and fans in the bedrooms a welcome relief from the heat/humidity. The neighborhood was quiet-no train sounds, airport sounds, sirens, just a nice quiet atmosphere. We felt safe and comfortable in and outside the Cottage. Can't say enough, but recommend the cottage for anyone wanting a great place to stay, with or without children. We stayed three nights and it was our relaxing home away from home. Wonderful hostess, Stephanie, makes it all happen smoothly at the Cottage. We would definitely stay here again!

Neat, clean well stocked home

We came to see the play at the ark, home was well stocked, neat, and clean. The keurig didnt serve hot coffee, and the other coffee thing put coffee grinds in the coffee, they didnt have a regular coffee pot. We bought one for us to use. The beds were not comfortable. But overall the house had everything else you could want and more.

Allergies

The place was clean, location to surrounding activities was perfect, and the decorating was up to date. Light fixture in the bathroom did not work. It was spacious. The Kuerig and kitchen was our favorite. Unfortunately, the house smelled like old smoke. We all have allergies and a chronically Ill daughter. We had to open all the windows and keep her out of the living room. Our eyes were itchy and nasal drainage. Our daughter had a asthma attack. Most of her time she had to spend in the bedroom where we placed a fan in the window or the kitchen. There is an old fireplace in the main L/R. With a bag of Baking soda in it. Curtains and couch smelled of smoke. Unfortunately, this really should be mentioned in the description for the elderly and allergy populations. There was a small air filter near the fireplace but it did nothing.
