Annual family getaway

Our group of 10 (5 brothers and 5 sister in laws) had a fantastic time here. We came to see the Ark Encounter, but really enjoyed quality time together at this home. The back yard and fire pit area were perfect for relaxing on a beautiful fall evening.

Vacation to go to the Ark Encounter

Kate was a wonderful host. My family and I stayed at the house so we could go to the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum. The house has everything you need. It accommodated 13 people very well with plenty of room for everyone. We had 8 adults, 3 adult children, 1 teen and a 5 year old.

Lovely home with lots of extras!

I chose this lovely location for our family get-together to visit the Ark Encounter. The home was able to comfortably accommodate our large group of 15. The home was clean and uodated and the beds were all very comfy. There was several games, puzzles etc and the fire pit in the backyard was a great way for us to end our evening relaxing. The Ark encounter was 5 mins away and the home was a central location to many surrounding cities if you’re looking for that. The home had a lot of unexpected “extras”. The host was wonderful with communication, very accommodating and even provided a detailed list of restaraunts, things to do and places to go near and far. I highly recommend this home and host for your future stay!!!

This was a fantastic home to stay in! Very beautiful and cozy. Every detail was well thought out to make guests feel welcome. The host Kate was super quick to respond. I took a long bath, rocked on the porch, played games, cooked a dinner for six and ate in the dining room. Also, I received a small gift to take from the host. It was a true pleasure to stay here. My friends were shocked at how nice of a place I was able to find.

Nice home and quiet neighborhood -

The home is very nice and has a lovely back yard with a fire pit and gathering area. The host was very accommodating - answered messages promptly, provided detailed information on Wi-Fi, appliances, check in and out instructions, etc. The only thing is there are no bedrooms on the main floor and the stairs are a little steep. This makes it difficult for anyone with knee or hip issues. (Our group was primarily ladies who are senior citizens.) Other than that, the house was nice and clean and we would definitely book again.

About the host

Hosted by Kate Bliss

Host profile image
Hello, I'm Kate! I am from the Midwest and love to travel, especially when I get to explore new places and learn about different cultures. I have a full time job, but am available to answer any questions that you may have.

Why they chose this property

The Roselawn Retreat was truly a labor of love. I have so many warm memories of visiting my family in Kentucky growing up, which inspired me to provide a special place for other families to create their own wonderful memories.

What makes this property unique

The Roselawn Retreat is a relaxing and inviting home with plenty of space for your entire family to spread out. It stands apart by having two separate living rooms on the main floor, and a downstairs family room with a couch, TV, bar, and ping pong table. All of the furniture and beds are new. You will never feel crowded or cramped at the Roselawn Retreat. My family loves staying here and I hope yours does too!
