We really enjoyed our stay at Cordova. Our family loved to see the horses and how close it was to all the attractions. There was plenty of space for our family of 7. We got to celebrate our daughter’s 5th birthday in the house. Thank you for opening up your home to us.

Property was very good. It is inthe country so peaceful, quiet and restful. Loved sitting on the deck in the morning having coffee and enjoying the view. It was very hot while we were there, in the 90’s. AC worked very well downstairs and in one bedroom but the loft and other bedroom were pretty warm. Overall an excellent stay.

Our host was very accessible and kind. The house was exactly as described with a beautiful view of hills and trees. As the host explained, we did have a few ants our last day, but it was likely due to us leaving bananas on the counter. Kids got to pet the neighbor’s dogs and horse! The house is a short drive to the Ark Encounter. We really liked that.

Old farmhouse that has been renovated and sits on a hill with a wonderful view of the countryside. Perfect location for visiting the ARK. The last evening, we spent a beautiful night sitting on the back deck, grilling out, and enjoying the stay. Our granddaughter said she wants to come back and stay in the Kentucky house.

We enjoyed our stay in this beautiful farmhouse with its spectacular view! It is warm, cozy, inviting, relaxing, and very peaceful! Our grandchildren had fun with the neighbors dogs, petting the horses, and loved sleeping in the loft. It was a great destination for our visit to The Ark Encounter!

Great house :)

We had a great stay at Cordova Retreat! It's in a great location for visits to the Ark Encounter and very close to town as well. The house had everything we needed and more than enough space for our group. I'd love to come back in the spring or fall to enjoy the back yard and fire pit.
