Our Ark Adventure
This place doesn’t look like much from the exterior but what it lacks on the outside it makes up for on the inside! This place was so nice and clean! Big screen TV’s in every room, loved the back deck. Every need was available in this very nice place! We felt safe and it is conveniently located between the Ark and Creation museum. Thank You for a great place to make memoirs with our family.

The Upper Room, well appointed, clean and comfortable
We were very comfortable but could not enjoy the outside deck. We were not told that freight trains came frequently in the morning and late afternoon. The trains came so near the property the lettering on the cars could be read easily. It was impossible to carry on a conversation due to the loudness of the trains. Thus we missed the coolness of the morning and the beauty of the evening. You should inform potential occupants of these conditions. Also, we were not told that our unit was on the second floor. Although we managed those older individuals could have difficulty. You just need to be upfront as to these types of things.

Loved the location, and welcoming decor. The deck was great to sit and have coffee in the morning and then to watch the fireflies at night.

This VRBO was adorable & well thought out. We very much appreciated all the details, just like home. It was lovely, beautifully decorated, very clean, cozy, & comfortable. It was well equipped with everything one could need. The kitchen was well stocked. Nice, cozy outdoor retreats - both upper & lower areas. We would definitely come back & recommend it to others too!

Perfect location
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this great little apartment. The location is perfectly situated between The Ark and Creation Museum. It had eveything you could possibly need. The beds are comfy and the kitchen is very well outfitted (crockpot, toaster, blender, electric kettle, plenty of pots, pans and dishes, etc). The only issue we had was the road noise and trains passing behind the property which was a little loud at night. There is a white noise machine in one of the bedrooms, but that might not be enough if you're sensitive to sound at night. My son is particularly sensitive to sound, and he struggled to sleep, but in spite of that he loved the apartment so much he cant wait to go back!
