Weekend getaway

We came into town to check out the Ark Encounter (be prepared for long lines!). The house was great! Good location, clean and the owner was very communicative. I believe they live right next door.

Comfortable

Our stay at the cozy encounter was perfect for our situation of 2 families with 2 kids.For light sleepers they have white noise machines which worked great to tune out the trains and babies!

Minutes from the ark

We had a great time with our family and grandchildren. The house was perfect for a family of our size (4 adults, 2 grandchildren and a 7 month old grandchild.) We all enjoyed the kitchen and island combo for meals together. Wish we could have stayed longer.

All we needed

Four of us came down for a conference at the Ark Encounter. We just needed a place to sleep and spend some time debriefing our experience. This home provided just what we needed. Thank you.
