Beautiful and quaint home, clean and well stocked for a nice stay. Host was communicative, caring and concise. We had everything we needed before and during our stay. The home is very near to the Ark Encounter which is an excellent bonus since that was the reason for us visiting the area.

The property was just as described. It's close to many great places to visit and eat, yet offers the serenity of a quiet neighborhood. The hosts provided all the basic necessities plus extras like a fully stocked coffee bar and spices that were especially great with breakfast foods. We'd definitely visit again.
