Was perfect for my husband and I to stay and have the opportunity to bring our fur babies with us. Due to an unexpected emergency back home we had to cut our trip short but we did get to go to the Ark Encounter. It was fabulous!

Great stay for our visit to the Ark and Creation Musuem!

This house truly is the best location for visiting both the ark and the creation museum! It is smack in the middle of the two of them. The host was so nice and responsive - even had a brand new coffee pot shipped to the front door within hours of the one that was in the house breaking. We were so impressed by that! The beds are very comfortable and the pool was such a nice addition to our stay! The house is wonderfully stocked with all the basics and the check out process was the easiest of any VRBO we have ever stayed at!

Very nice property! Plenty of room and the pool was nice. The 2nd pool ladder was supposed to be replaced on Tuesday but never heard why it didn’t. That made it hard for the 7 and 10 year old to get in and out of the pool on the deep end. Overall had a great time with family.

Great comfy stay, close to ARK

This home was just like pictures, if not more! Our host was very helpful. We chose this home for the closeness of the ark and a youth conference we attended. We also took a trip to Cincinnati, which was amazing! I wouldn't change anything about this home because it was very clean, comfy, loved how "at home" it made us feel! If ever in this area again will definitely stay again! Neighborhood was also nice, beds slept amazingly!!!

Excellent experience

This was my first time using Vrbo and the experience was fantastic. The house was beautiful, clean, and incredibly accomodating. I have a 2 year old and was nervous to be away from home for several days without toys and things but her had a blast with the toys provided in the game room. The kitchen had everything we needed to have enjoyable family dinners together. Thank you for helpong to make this an unforgettable vacation.

Family memories

Not perfect… But, Tyler went out of her way to make it perfect! We had understood there was a futon for sleeping, but after realizing we didn’t have enough beds, Tyler came at 9:30 at night to bring a bed to make sure we were comfortable. The house has a lot of room and the toy room is amazing for kids. Bedrooms are roomy and have very comfortable mattresses. The pool was sparkling clean and provided us a great way to cool off and relax. The deck area is large and has a brand new grill. This home allowed us to visit The Ark and Cincinnati zoo with ease. A huge thank you to Tyler and her husband who went out of their way on a holiday weekend to make sure we had everything we needed. Our family of 4 generations would highly recommend staying here. We will definitely be back!
