Our host Craig was excellent to work with and very responsive to any questions we had. The house is very clean and comfortable with a fully stocked kitchen. We had a five night stay so the washer and dryer came in very handy. The location was close to all the attractions we wanted to see. Overall we were very pleased with our stay.

We stayed in this little house on our trip to Noah's Ark. It was in a great location with an easy drive to the Ark. It was a great place to accommodate our group of 6 (3 adults and 3 kids). We cooked easily in the kitchen and were comfortable just relaxing.
