Pros: The location was perfect for a visit to the Ark. The size and number of rooms/beds accommodated our group perfectly, and the neighborhood was quiet. The kids LOVED the games in the garage. It was easy to get in and out with the passcode and directions, and the kitchen had all of the basics we needed. Cons: since the description stated linens were provided, we didn’t bring any. But there were only like 3 washcloths and a few more towels, so we had to go out and buy some. The washer was “out of service,” otherwise we could have cleaned them to use again. Which was another bummer, as there was not advance notice of this, and we did anticipate being able to use this amenity. The shower/tub upstairs drained very slowly, so you stood in the water for the duration of your shower. I’m sure this is due to a clog, but we were not able to get the stopper up to remedy it. In addition, the shower curtain had what I can only politely describe as “dried nasal mucus” on the outside, so it obviously hadn’t been laundered. ##### Angela Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Oct 4, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### Perfect Stay We would highly recommend this stay . It was a wonderful place . It was an excellent place for the Ark experience , it was so clean and everything that you need is there .
