Nov 6, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Sibling Trip 2023 Ark Encounter It was late at night when we arrived. Originally it was difficult to locate, but after that it was fine. Maybe something, a sign, a colored post, something that stands out to “mark” the location visibly. Extremely clean, loved the decor “beach”, wish the fireplace was working, it had candles, thought there might be a few more items, foils, bags, etc…but stores were close. But really enjoyed our stay. Contacted owners a couple of times and they were quick to respond. Visited the Ark, Creation Museum, Belgium Waffle House in Cincinnati, Buffalo Trace factory, lots of quality time with mom and siblings. ##### Larry N.

Nice house. Very modern and relaxing. The house was clean, up-to-date, and nicely stocked. Owners provided nice extras like towels, coffee, sheets, kitchen gadgets, and more. The screened sun porch was beautiful, and we enjoyed resting out there. 8 of us stayed and the house was very comfortable for us. We did not feel crowded. Highly recommend! The owners were very responsive to our questions. The only note I would add is there we did not feel like the lake was swimmable. There was nowhere to enter the lake other than jumping off the dock, but there was no way to get out after that unless we used the neighbor's ladder which we were not comfortable using their dock without permission. It was also very rocky. Watersports would have been fine though. ##### Monica H. Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lisa R.

It was so relaxing, we spent the majority of our time sitting in the fabulous sun porch. ##### Becky B. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kathy G. Oct 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The property was clean and had everything necessary for a girls weekend… Loved the screened in porch, view of lake was ok. The road to the property was a bit of an adventure, especially the morning we left, with the rain. Information regarding the road into the property should be stated up front. Aside from that, the property was a nice getaway with all the amenities needed. Would recommend this highly. ##### Kathy G. Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hanna T.
