Trip to the Ark
The property was perfect for us. It has a rural location. Enjoyed driving through the countryside of rolling hills . We took a different route each day to the Ark. The drive to the Ark seemed relatively short. There are well marked walking paths on the property. My sister has apps that identify sounds of birds and identify foliage that made our walks even more enjoyable. My father uses a rollator (walker). There’s a ramp on front porch. Shower chair was provided and he was able to independently take care of himself. The owner promptly answered my questions. Also, the property is very clean.

Rustic living
Loved feeding and enjoying the animals. House was in the “country” so a little off the beaten path. Beautiful countryside, and home was as advertised. A little rustic, and would have liked a bit more in the bathroom - clothes hooks and more towel hanging space. Jackie, Big T and Ramuel were our favorites! Totally delightful!

More than just a place to sleep
My husband and I stayed at this property with three of our grandchildren on a recent visit to the Ark Encounter. On the way to the property, our car broke down, and I believe every person in the small town stopped to help. Officer Schmeing, who is also a mechanic, saved the day! The grandkids were super excited to find a swing in the backyard and games to play in the kitchen. They loved feeding the animals, which vied for attention with moo’s, baa’s, and heehaws, much to the delight of the kids. The river was a short walk through the field and the kids enjoyed finding large shells. There was so much to do on the property, the kids wore themselves out and slept well. The house was very clean and artfully decorated. The beds were very, very comfortable. There is a train track nearby, by the sound wasn’t loud enough to disturb anyone; it just provided another cool aspect for the grandkids. The owners were thoughtful and left a tray of snacks. I would definitely stay at this property again!

Relaxing and Fun
We had the best time. From sitting under the stars by the fire pit to listening to the tranquil sounds of the trains. My grandson loved the animals at the barn. We walked the trail around the farm. The house was so inviting. We had everything needed for a quiet vacation. Thanks for your hospitality and lovely home. Kaffie from Mississippi.

Perfect family getaway!
Amazing! The location is perfect for those who want something a little bit more country but not so far away that you can't run 20 minutes up the road to run to the store ( which where we are from is close!). Plenty of privacy and backyard for the kids to play in. Ours particularly loved the swing! There is an active train track that runs along the property but the owners have earplugs stashed everywhere if the noise bothers you while sleeping. Well stocked kitchen, outdoor grill and seating, and comfortable beds. Our family enjoyed staying here immensely and would definitely stay here again!

We had a wonderful time at this sweet farmhouse! All the amenities we needed and centrally located.
We had a wonderful time and thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The owners have done a wonderful job on the property. The lids enjoyed swimming in the pond and fishing in the other pond. We also had several visits to Jack the Donkey. Kids also love the train coming by. We highly recommend this property!

Family Getaway to the Ark
We were traveling with our four children ranging in age from 7-21, and my parents, on a family trip from home in the UP of Michigan, to Nashville, Gatlinburg and finally to the Ark Encounter on the way back home. This was our third VRBO home of the trip, and was by far our favorite! Mind you, we live on a farm, so country life is not foreign to us, but this home is just so relaxing and beautiful. It comfortably slept all 8 of us, the beds were comfy and clean, and even though the home is small, there was plenty of room for all of us. We enjoyed swimming in the pond, visits with Jack the donkey, watching the train go by, bonfires in the evening.... we had everything we needed! We went to The Ark Encounter one whole day (highly recommend), and hung out at the house the next day. The front porch is great for coffee in the morning, and the back deck for grilling at night. Book this home, you won't regret it!

A Slice of Heaven
This was a wonderful home base in between visits to the Creation Museum and the Ark Encounter. The farm, fishing ponds, fire pit, and trains took us back to a time so often overlooked in today’s world. It was truly a delight to stay here - the escape from the hustle&bustle allowed us to soak up time with friends&family and to reflect on all the necessities that rural livelihoods provide. We created memories that will last a lifetime- my oldest caught (& released) his first fish, my youngest boys LOVED the trains, and we cooked a tasty stew with local beef delivered by Farmer Rob himself from Gravett’s Angus. Thank you for a lovely week!

A Sweet Little Farmhouse
The Catawba Farmhouse was a lovely relaxing stay! The property is enjoyable and even though the weather wasn't great while we were there, we did get some sunshine to enjoy walking to the pond and the river and had a blast at the firepit roasting hotdogs and marshmallows! The home was very clean and expertly decorated. Beds were very comfortable and there were plenty of towels. There were a few items that we felt we needed in the kitchen - a colander & a toaster - but not a huge deal. It was cold and so we also made use of the woodstove and there was plenty of wood provided. Our 2 Goldendoodles had PLENTY of room to run and play and enjoyed themselves immensely! Overall, it was a very peaceful stay although the first time a train went by in the middle of the night, it caught us off guard ;). Thank you for sharing your sweet farmhouse with us! You can definitely tell you put your heart and soul into it!
