IMPORTANT:
1- We provide a swing set for our younger guests' enjoyment. To ensure their safety, we require adult supervision at all times. Please note that injuries are the responsibility of the supervising adult, not the establishment. 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.

Great Place to Stay for Ark Encounter

Everything was as advertised at the VRBO. We enjoyed our stay for 6 people. Host was easy to contact and responded quickly to any questions. We would stay again if in the area.

Perfect weekend getaway!!

We absolutely loved our stay here! The house was extremely clean and had everything you could ask for. It’s in a great location right between the Ark and Cincinnati. We will definitely be back for our next trip to the Ark. We really appreciate the host for being so kind and making the check in and out easy!

Ark Encounter/Creation Museum

Perfect location if you’re looking for a place between the Ark Encounter and the Creation Museum! This place was very nice, very clean, well decorated and we’d stay again!A suggestion may be to put a shelf or two somewhere in the guest bathroom bc there’s not much room to put your things esp if you had 4 people sharing but overall very pleased.

Walton, KY

We stayed just prior to the worst snow/ice storm in KY. Place was great. It had everything we could need or want. Wish we could have stayed longer. Unfortunately, we had to leave a day early to avoid highway shutdowns and the storm. Would definitely recommend and/or stay there again

Wonderful Trip

We stayed in this beautiful home and attended a Vacation Bible School conference at the Ark Encounter. The house is decorated so cute and looks just like the pictures. We had everything we needed and more. It exceeded our expectations. All the beds were so comfortable, in fact we had to see what kind of mattresses were on the beds so we could purchase one. The house is conveniently located in between the Ark Encounter, and the Creation Museum. Would would definitely stay here again.

Fabulous family reunion

A Creation & ARK Encounter

Wanted to visit the Creation Museum & The Ark with my Bible study Besties...4 ladies traveling from Georgia to Kentucky for 3 nights & 4 days. This house was smack dab in the middle of both. We were less than 20 minutes from the ARK and 35 minutes from Creation.. it was perfect location for us!!

Charming home

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.

This was a really cute property very convenient to the interstate. The amenities of the home were wonderful. The overall location took away one star because there is a train track close by and trains run all night as well.
