Was perfect for my husband and I to stay and have the opportunity to bring our fur babies with us. Due to an unexpected emergency back home we had to cut our trip short but we did get to go to the Ark Encounter. It was fabulous!

Great comfy stay, close to ARK

This home was just like pictures, if not more! Our host was very helpful. We chose this home for the closeness of the ark and a youth conference we attended. We also took a trip to Cincinnati, which was amazing! I wouldn't change anything about this home because it was very clean, comfy, loved how "at home" it made us feel! If ever in this area again will definitely stay again! Neighborhood was also nice, beds slept amazingly!!!

Excellent experience

This was my first time using Vrbo and the experience was fantastic. The house was beautiful, clean, and incredibly accomodating. I have a 2 year old and was nervous to be away from home for several days without toys and things but her had a blast with the toys provided in the game room. The kitchen had everything we needed to have enjoyable family dinners together. Thank you for helpong to make this an unforgettable vacation.

Pool house in Independence, KY

This property was great to stay at when we visited Independence! The house was centrally located to all attractions we visited. 36 minutes from the Ark Encounter, 42 minutes from the Creation Museum, and 39 minutes from the Cincinnati Zoo. We spent one entire day at the house and the kids played in the pool the whole day! The grocery store was 5 minutes down the road, along with restaurants. There were plenty of towels and bedding provided. The dishwasher was the only thing that was broken. We should have got paper plates and bowls at the store, but just never did. Hopefully they get that fixed or a new one soon. Wonderful vacation at this pool house!!

Family memories

Not perfect… But, Tyler went out of her way to make it perfect! We had understood there was a futon for sleeping, but after realizing we didn’t have enough beds, Tyler came at 9:30 at night to bring a bed to make sure we were comfortable. The house has a lot of room and the toy room is amazing for kids. Bedrooms are roomy and have very comfortable mattresses. The pool was sparkling clean and provided us a great way to cool off and relax. The deck area is large and has a brand new grill. This home allowed us to visit The Ark and Cincinnati zoo with ease. A huge thank you to Tyler and her husband who went out of their way on a holiday weekend to make sure we had everything we needed. Our family of 4 generations would highly recommend staying here. We will definitely be back!

Amazing house and owner!

We are a family of 7. 6 humans and one dog. 😊 This house was perfect for us! It was so nice and had everything we needed. Neighborhood was great and had friendly people all around. Very easy location to get to and find and very close to food places as well as the Kroger supercenter. Due to weather we didn't get to enjoy the pool as often as we wanted but when we did it was a lot of fun. Owner was great at communicating and kept everything in the home well stocked and when we did run out of something she had it at the doorstep within hours. We loved being so close to the Ark encounter and Creation museum (30-40 minutes) as well as Cincinnati. The bedrooms are close together and had plenty of room for us all to sleep comfortably. The beds were super comfy! We all slept great! It really is a great home for a family to rent to vacation. Thanks for everything! We will have great memories from this vacation!

Perfectly located between the Ark Encounter and the Creation Museum and the airport. The host had an emergency and hired a cleaning crew to come in before our check in. The cleaning crew missed a few things and I notified the host who was quick to respond and quick to remedy. We would definitely like to stay here again when we come back for the new attractions.
