Cordova Retreat - 7 Minutes from Ark!

Photo gallery for Cordova Retreat - 7 Minutes from Ark!

The Cordova Retreat is the ideal solution for guests visiting the Ark Encounter. The living room (pictured) is open and spacious, and the family room upstairs provides a second option for kids to hang out.
The kitchen comes with all the standard equipment for preparing meals (pots, pans, silverware, toaster, knives, etc.)
The master bedroom is on the first floor. It has a closet with a chest and hangers inside.
The peaceful view from the back and nearby fire pit makes this home special. Kids love running around the backyard and taking in the fresh air. And the friendly horses next door often wander over to our fence to say hello.

Great place to relax
The house was clean and in good shape, just as pictured. Communication with the owners was seamless and they were very timely to respond to any questions. It felt like you were out away from everything, but less than 10 mins from the Ark! Definitely somewhere to stay again.

Beautiful house with spectacular views
We enjoyed our stay at the Cordova retreat in November. The Views were breathtaking! The house was clean and spacious for both our families. We visited the Ark Encounter & Creation Museum during our stay. The house is in a quiet country road. We truly enjoyed all that was available. We would definitely book this house again in the future!!

Huge Potential!
We enjoyed our short visit to Kentucky, and the stay at this charming house was good overall. Everything worked well, such as the showers, toilets, etc. The fridge was clean, which was great! There are a few things that would turn this property into a gem and prevent us from giving 5-stars: The house was not as clean as we would expect, with cobwebs in various places, the windows and sills were dirty, and the floor must not have been mopped since the previous visitors a few days prior. Things were dusty, and we found empty water bottles and garbage underneath the second-floor beds. We suggest getting a pair of scissors and some cooking tongs, as well as providing an outdoor tote that contains some paper, kindling, and a lighter! We got a nice campfire going, but I had to head over to Dollar General for some cardboard, a local newspaper and a BBQ lighter. Our daughter was disappointed that the flashlights were dead and there were no extra batteries. :) It's the little things that set the great apart! We suggest adding a gas grill to the property, which would be a huge plus! There was a charcoal grill, but I didn't want to go and get a bag of charcoal, grill brush, lighter fluid, etc., for just a couple of dinners. Keep working on the property, and it will be a fabulous spot!

The house on the hill
