Cozy stay

We made a trip down to the Ark Encounter and with a family of 7 decided we wanted a place for all of us, rather than hotel rooms. This A-frame cottage was perfect! Everyone had a bed, plenty of space and it was even decorated for Christmas! The large front windows give it a wonderful cottagey feel! We will definitely recommend this place to friends!

Convenient location for Ark and Creation Museum

Property was cute, clean and comfortable. Wi-Fi was a little spotty. Kids enjoyed the playground and pool. We had a little trouble with the keyless door code pad at first, but the property managee got it fixed quickly.

Great Stay

The area was very quiet. Easy access to the interstate but far enough away for it to be quiet. We were surprised to realize this rental is a part of a RV park and campground. It ended up being nice with the playground and a great area for walking/running. There are a lot of steps and quite a hill from the parking to the entrance, but that didn’t bother us. The only slight issue was that when we arrived there was a post-it note that the washer/dryer was out of order. This was an inconvenience for us and was a “must have” feature when I was considering booking. In all honestly, I probably would have booked somewhere else had I known in advance, but it ended up being a nice place to stay.

Beautiful place

Overall the A-frame was beautiful. A few things: I would recommend making one of the bedrooms on the main level a "main" bedroom. On the upper level the bedroom is gorgeous, but my parents could not make it up the steep stairs. I didn't realize the property was located within a campground (probably my fault), but it was quiet enough that it didn't take away from the experience. But the beautiful deck is facing the campground and I was asked multiple times about the office/employees as the office is below the A-frame. The deck also had a wasp issue. The back of the house was surrounded by tree making it picture perfect.

Overall this was a great VRBO to stay at with our family. The major things were clean when we arrived but some areas that wouldn't be a part of a weekly cleaning could stand to be deep cleaned. Our kids loved the game room upstairs and the playground and pool in the campground. It was nice being able to watch our kids at the playground from the deck. The staff were great and very responsive. We had an issue with a loose spindle on the railing that was giving way and they had it fixed within an hour of me letting them know. Our biggest issue was the wifi. The house has 4 smart TVs but we couldn't even use them because the wifi isn't strong enough and shows would keep stopping. If we had known that ahead of time we would have brought a DVD player with us for movie night/rest time shows. Another thing that could be better is the amount of dishes in the kitchen. There are 2 pots and 2 frying pans but only 1 small cookie sheet. And then for eating on there are only 7 big/dinner plates which isn't even enough for the 10 that this house can sleep. We would still definitely recommend this place if you are ok with bad wi-fi and cell reception! It is a great central location for visiting the ark encounter, creation museum and places in Cincinnati! I also highly recommend the Walton community Park. It has a really nice playground, splash pad, tennis and basketball courts, a disc golf course, etc.

updated and comfortable

Cabin was spacious and well furnished. Beds and sofa were exceptionally comfortable! Campground office is in the basement of the cabin, but it was no issue at all! Very tranquil campground with friendly and family-oriented campers. Very well maintained. The playground was great! The pool was clean. A nice basketball goal was available for my son, which was also great! The fenced dog-run was nice! My only tip would be to bring extra towels and washcloths. The wifi was spotty, but we could use our hotspots on our cell phones, so that was not a real issue. There were ants in the kitchen, so food was kept in a cooler or the fridge. They were aware and working to remediate the issue. Overall, great stay! Would stay again and highly recommend!

Rodents

This home had mouse poop on each level of the home. I would imagine it was swept well before we arrived as we noticed this droppings in the middle of the night when we went to the master bathroom, not there prior. Found under master bed, hallway outside master, behind the couch and beside the fridge. We did pack up early the next morning and let the office downstairs know the reason. They along with Shelly, district manager both stated this was the first they had ever had this happen. I’m not sure I believe that as they did say when they went up there they found droppings under the sink. I had never mentioned the sink and had looked there the night before when we arrived to see what may be in the cabinets, nothing was there at that time. I mentioned other areas that they never mentioned seeing anything. We stayed less the 24 hours of our 5 night reservation, having to find another home to stay in. Once I tried to ask about any reimbursement all communication stopped and nothing further has been said. We also mentioned walking our small dog the night before and that the leash rule was not being followed by some and had a dog come at us and our dog, as the owner stood and did nothing. Again told by office and Shelly this was a first. Seems we must be the first for everything other than showing their apologizes for the inconvenience and delay in our trip.

Labor Day get away

We rented this cottage to be close to the Ark Encounter & the Creation Museum. It was right in the middle of both. The cottage was neat and clean as well as spacious. Plenty of pillows & blankets. Nice seating area and a few fun games. Although it is a rustic environment, there were a few things missing that could have made the stay easier. Like a hair dryer, colander and maybe a single use laundry soap and mini shower soap/shampoo would have been nice. Also many of the units towels we discovered on day 2 were left in the dryer. Overall a great stay. Our 6 year old loved the pool!

Great Location to Ark & Creation Museum

Pros: We were visiting from CA. This is a spacious rental with plenty of room to spread out - very open feeling in main living area, loft & lots of floor space in closets/bedrooms for suitcases, etc. The games in the loft were enjoyed by all - our kids are 23, 19, 17, 15 & 13. We visited The Ark & Creation Museum and it was perfectly situated 1/2 between them. Couch was very comfy with charging area & cup holders! AC works great! We didn’t utilize the campground amenities, as were off site. FYI: These aren’t cons, but things to keep in mind. There are no blinds covering the windows overlooking the deck, which is in direct view of numerous RVs, play area & road. You feel a bit exposed, especially at night. The steps leading to the 2nd floor where the master bedroom & game room are, are in 2 sets, very steep & narrow. There is no hand railing on the upper 2nd section of stairs. Use caution. Overall, it’s clean, I do feel the floors could use a good mop, as our feet & socks got VERY dirty walking around. Both inner shower curtains had soap build up/staining and would recommend replacing. Kitchen/Bathroom: Basic utensils, tableware & cookware. 1 Roll of tp in each bathroom, 2 dishwasher tabs, 1 extra roll of paper towels, requested extra trash bags for kitchen trash (received quickly). We’d give 5 stars ⭐️ if the floors got a good mop, handrail was installed on the 2nd section of stairs and long blinds were offered in the front windows.🙂
