What a lovely property!!! We really enjoyed our stay. The kids and dogs had plenty of room to roam and we loved the outdoor spaces. My only regret is that the trip was too short to do all the things we wanted to do!!!

House was very clean and was stocked with everything we needed. Part of the reason we chose this place was it’s proximity to the Ark and Creation museum, and that worked out perfect. Communication with Leya was fast and easy, if we could give more stars we would. Thank you!

We really enjoyed our stay. The property and surrounding area were absolutely beautiful. The kitchen was amazing for cooking. The outdoor area was relaxing. There were lots of amenities in the home for entertainment. It was very quiet and peaceful. The horses across were a joy to see. It is an ideal location for several of the attractions in the area. Our chihuahua enjoyed running around inside and out. It is definitely family friendly and kid friendly. The stairs were a little rough on my dad, but that’s expect as he is almost 80. He really enjoyed the home as well. We will definitely stay here again on our next trip.

This place was amazing! It was the cleanest place we have ever stayed, especially considering it allowed dogs. I didn't see one dog hair anywhere! It also had so many things for the kids to do and a great front porch for coffee and quiet time. It was also centerally located to all the places we wanted to go. Communication with the owner was amazing and she always gave a quick response. We loved it!

Everything was very clean, very comfortable and well stocked with all the essentials. This was our first time traveling with the pup, and I was a little concerned about a "pet friendly" house. It was immaculate and no hint of previous for legged tenants. The outdoors and the room with the three beds was perfect for all the cousins and their adventures. The home was picked for its proximity to the Ark and Creation Museum, but the lightning bugs, honeysuckle and trails provided a secondary (and probably preferred) vacation for the kiddos.
