Great!
Overall, we had a great time. The space was a little tight, but that was to be expected with a studio apartment. I would have appreciated a photo showing the apartment was above a garage (I didn't scroll all the way down to read the description), but our hosts were great! They evenshared fruit from their garden!

Girls weekend
The property was beautiful and immaculately maintained. We felt safe and relaxed. The patio was a highlight of our stay where we enjoyed many cups of coffee and tea in the cool mornings and evenings. The drive to the apartment was picturesque and peaceful - no traffic! Easy to get to the Creation museum and Ark, as well as shops and restaurants. We would return in a heartbeat.

Peaceful anniversary getaway
This was the perfect property for our anniversary trip. It offered a lot of privacy in a quiet neighborhood. And being an excellent midpoint between the Creation Museum and the Ark Encounter is no exaggeration. We also enjoyed it being relatively close to a lot of great local restaurants. The host even provided great recommendations for us to try out! We highly recommend this property!

Kentucky hideaway.
Our drive to the property was very scenic as was the property. Our host came out and welcomed us. They had no problem with our small dog. It was a lovely apartment and away from the main property for our privacy. Great location for what we wanted had planned.

Great location for Creation Museum and Ark Encounter
This cozy apartment suited our needs perfectly while we visited the Creation Museum and the Ark Encounter. It is centrally located to both. The area is just beautiful! The apartment was very clean and had everything we needed. The hosts, Reta and Dan, were so very friendly! We highly recommend staying here if you are in the area.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this quiet neighborhood. The studio apartment was very clean and the back deck was a nice place to sit and read. We visited Cincinnati and also the Ark Encounter and spent our evenings and nights relaxing at this great apartment. Highly recommended!

Great Hosts and Wonderful Stay
The property is beautiful and relaxing in the country. You can sit on the upper deck, and enjoy your morning coffee or evening beverage in complete comfort and relaxation. The apartment was laid out very nicely, and it just felt like home. Host and hostess were extremely friendly and helpful with tips on enjoying the area. Dog enjoyed running around the 6 acres in freedom. On a leash, we were able to safely walk the country roads for miles and not feel like we were going to be hit by reckless drivers. Overall, just a wonderful three days and we wouldn't hesitate to stay here again should we ever find ourselves in this area of the country again.

Peaceful Location
The location was so peaceful and wonderfully located in the tri-state area. Though a short drive from the bustling of the city, the property seems so far from the busyness. The host is so friendly and gracious. I would recommend this location to anyone wanting to visit any of the attractions in the tri-state Cincinnati area.
