Great Location

We had a great stay. The home is very close to the Ark Encounter, and a relatively easy drive to the Creation Museum, Cincinatti, and other desirable destinations. We loved the home.

Best Country stay in the City

Oh my birds greeted us, a squirrel had coffee with me (I was enjoying the quiet porch sitting), I went in to fix breakfast and a baby deer was in the backyard eating grass, & then our final day there 2 small baby jack rabbits were wishing us well on our trip as they ate grass & frolicked in the morning dew. Best stay ever!

The neighborhood was more crowded than I expected but it was quiet. I was however, woken on multiple occasions during the night by trains. The location was great. Very close to the Ark and not very far from the Creation Museum. A nice place to stay if you are visiting both places.

Lovely Farmhouse

Our daughter has appointments at Cincinnati Children's Hospital several times a year. This was our first time trying a rental instead of a hotel & we fell in love with this place. It is in a cute little neighborhood. We enjoyed a short strode one evening. Our daughter made the comment it felt like home. We hope to return!

Great location to the ark!

Great location for our family visit to the ark and creation museum. Lovely restful place and our kids enjoyed the big backyard and trees to play on and under. The listing on air b n b had washer and dryer available, but they weren't, so we had to use the local laundromat on stead. But the owner dropped off some rope for us to hang washing outside . Good communication and and response time from the owner and access to wifi in the house. Thanks for a dl laundromat

Amazing

We spent a remarkable three nights at Sunset Cottage thanks to our fabulous hosts, Charles and Amy. They were fantastic. This was one of our trip highlights in our entire 6wk tour of the US (from Australia). As it was off season, Charles recommended some great things to do around Williamstown and Dry Ridge aside from the Ark. We loved staying here and experiencing a small town American vibe. Charles and Amy really made our stay so special. They are such beautiful people and very generous of their time. Very thoughtful in what they have provided in the cottage such as bottled water, lots of snacks, coffee, hot choc and iced tea bags which are a novalty to us. We will be back!!! Thank you so much. George and Lauren

FANTASTIC!!!

The property was wonderful. SO close to the ARK ENCOUNTER. I seriously would have walked, but my travel friend needed to rent a scooter, so it wasn't an option. Can't say enough good things about the property and owners, which is why we booked in the first place. The multiple rave reviews about the entire experience. Made a perfect trip even MORE perfect. Absolutely NOTHING to gripe or complain about. I'm not given to complaints, but the most hard to please would be hard pressed (unless a habitual liar) to offer anything but praise and appreciation for the property, location and owner activity. ALL excellent! In every area!

We were in KY for a conference. Staying at this house was very peaceful and quiet. It gave us the time we needed to rest and relax in between sessions. Thank you for a relaxing, clean and quiet stay. Would recommend to others.
