We are a Bible study group, that is more like family, with ladies of varying ages and mobility abilities, and this restored, historic estate was wonderful for us!!! We greatly enjoyed our time together and we greatly appreciated the communication with the host when a minor DVD player issue came up, we also appreciated that he took the time to share a little bit about the history of the house and the area with us. We would definitely recommend this home to others!

Our family stayed for a short weekend to visit the Ark Encounter. We were greeted by a historic home that has been remodeled beautifully. Everyone had space to move, and we really enjoyed spending time together as a family. We will definitely be suggesting this as a place for others to stay!

This truly is the perfect space for large families like ours. 20 family members in one house - no problem! There was plenty of room for everyone to join together or have time to themselves. Great location if you are looking to visit THE ARK. It is right around the corner. Host was quick with responses when we reached out to confirm details. Overall this was a wonderful getaway for our family.

I was bringing a group of teenagers and chaperones to see the ark from out of state. This location was perfect for separating the boys and girls of the group with the upper and lower floors. The large kitchen and living room was a great spot to meet and have group times together. Great communication from Jeremiah the whole time. Thanks so much!
