This house was a great place to stay. The accommodations were perfect and they had everything we needed. We had plenty of space yet it was very cozy. It was very clean which is a big plus for me. I would highly recommend this house. We were there for the Creation Museum and the Ark Encounter but also went to Rabbit Hash. Bonus the fall festival was going on while we were there.

We had a wonderful vacation in this home. It was ideal for our visit to the Creation Museum and the Ark Encounter. The home is in a small town that was quiet and peaceful, with a nearby park and playground which our 1.5 and 4 year old grandchildren thoroughly enjoyed. The home was clean, well equipped and stocked with all that we needed. Our hosts were also awesome in our communications prior to our stay. Highly recommend this home and hosts.

Great little place

It's a cute place that has way more space than it looks from the outside. It had everything we needed and fit our family well. It is also maintained and manicured. Some of the neighborhood looked a little concerning but the neighbors were friendly and our grandkids played at the park with some neighborhood kiddos. We didn't realize it was 25 min to the nearest Walmart. If you were expecting being close to those sorts of things, it is definitely not but we didn't mind. Only 10 min or so from the Creation Museum. We had a wonderful time starting there.

Cozy and convenient

This home was the perfect stay for our family so that we could be close to the creation Museum and ark in counter. Not fancy, but clean, newly remodeled, and cozy living quarters.

Short hike to the river

Property was fine and as described. It was a short hike to the river and close to attractions we visited. Neighbors were noisy (mufflerless cars they liked to rev up after hours).

Great place to stay to visit Creation Museum and Ark Encounter

The Rivertown Ranch was a perfect choice for our vacation with family. Everything about it was just as advertised, with plenty of comfortable sleeping space for the four adults and four children in our group. The kitchen was stocked with absolutely everything we needed to make meals and the table was large enough for all of us, including a nice outside table. Two full bathrooms were separated from the bedrooms. Everything was clean and well organized. We enjoyed the drive on the beautiful country roads and the convenience to both our destinations. Communication with the hosts was excellent. Highly recommend.

Quaint/remote

The house accommodations were fine for our family; simple, minimal…interesting set up; no closets, tiny kitchen, small bathrooms but it was clean! The house was darling but, my only complaint would be the beds were uncomfortable As others reviewed the location was definitely remote and the travel in was various windy roads. About 15-20 mins to a local town, which wasn’t ideal traveling the windy roads every time we went out. No issues with check in or owner. Overall happy with the stay.

Perfect size little home, clean and easy access

The only issue that we had was there was not much around us as far as food. It was a little community that was right on the river, which was nice. We enjoyed being together in this home and it was very quaint with everything you need. I highly recommend it. Just make sure you take snacks and things that you can fix in the home if you don't have time to go about 20 to 30 minutes to get something else.

Host profile image
My husband and I live in Petersburg with our two children and choose to make this quiet little town our home. This is a great advantage to our customers because we are so close. We can easily help you out with any of your needs and answer any questions.
We reside in the “Berkshire house” which was constructed around 1928 from the Brick of the old distillery building. Dan’s family has lived in Petersburg for 5 generations, so needless to say we are vested in our community. When traveling ourselves, we often stay in a vacation rental. We find this to be the best and most affordable choice for our family and we think that you will too. So we hope to welcome you to our community. Please feel free to contact us with any questions.
