IMPORTANT:
1- We provide a swing set for our younger guests' enjoyment. To ensure their safety, we require adult supervision at all times. Please note that injuries are the responsibility of the supervising adult, not the establishment. The swing set is suitable for children aged 3 to 8 years, weighing no more than 100 pounds, to prevent damage to the equipment. Any damages to the swing set will incur a replacement fee. We appreciate your cooperation in following these guidelines to keep a safe and fun environment for everyone.
2- Sweet Retreat is somewhat close to a train track, and while the sound is gentle enough not to disturb, it’s worth noting if absolute silence is crucial for your stay. Please keep this in mind when booking.

Perfect weekend getaway!!

We absolutely loved our stay here! The house was extremely clean and had everything you could ask for. It’s in a great location right between the Ark and Cincinnati. We will definitely be back for our next trip to the Ark. We really appreciate the host for being so kind and making the check in and out easy!

Ark Encounter/Creation Museum

Perfect location if you’re looking for a place between the Ark Encounter and the Creation Museum! This place was very nice, very clean, well decorated and we’d stay again!A suggestion may be to put a shelf or two somewhere in the guest bathroom bc there’s not much room to put your things esp if you had 4 people sharing but overall very pleased.

Fabulous family reunion

Family Getaway to Visit the Ark

We enjoyed our stay at this property. The listing is accurate. The home was cozy and had everything we needed for our trip. If you are looking to visit the Ark and the Creation Museum, this is the perfect spot. Its located almost directly in between both attractions.

Wonderful Trip

We stayed in this beautiful home and attended a Vacation Bible School conference at the Ark Encounter. The house is decorated so cute and looks just like the pictures. We had everything we needed and more. It exceeded our expectations. All the beds were so comfortable, in fact we had to see what kind of mattresses were on the beds so we could purchase one. The house is conveniently located in between the Ark Encounter, and the Creation Museum. Would would definitely stay here again.

Adorable renovated home

This was a really cute property very convenient to the interstate. The amenities of the home were wonderful. The overall location took away one star because there is a train track close by and trains run all night as well.

Charming home

This house had a great layout and big comfortable beds. Fire pit and all the amenities were perfect! The only thing I’d suggest is more “family friendly” and comfortable living room furniture; it is beautiful but not the most comfortable for a group to stretch out and lounge. Maybe adding a slimline recliner would help and go with the decor.

A Creation & ARK Encounter

Wanted to visit the Creation Museum & The Ark with my Bible study Besties...4 ladies traveling from Georgia to Kentucky for 3 nights & 4 days. This house was smack dab in the middle of both. We were less than 20 minutes from the ARK and 35 minutes from Creation.. it was perfect location for us!!

Exactly what we needed

This house though close to the tracks was just what we needed for our short stay to see the Ark and Creation Museum. My kids slept through the whistle and that’s all that mattered. We really enjoyed all the perfect touches that made it feel so homey especially the well stocked kitchen. This was by far the best vrbo kitchen I’ve ever seen!

Creation Museum and the Ark

Me, my daughter and my twin sister made the trip to visit the Creation Museum and The Ark. This house was halfway between, easy to get to, quiet neighborhood. The house was amazing, immaculate. Extremely nice furnishings and decorations. We had everything we needed. Hosts very easy to communicate with. We could not have picked a better place to stay!

Very impressed!

This rental was incredibly pretty and clean. We were all so very comfortable in your house. We not only enjoyed the tourist attractions we came to KY to see, we actually looked forward to the mornings and evenings that we spent in the house. This was so much better than staying in a hotel. We hated to leave!

Great Place to Stay

The house is really lovely - nicely decorated, clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Our group consisted of 4 adults (2 couples) so the layout was perfect with 2 bathrooms. We didn't use the firepit, but it certainly looked like a great place to spend an evening. The shopping center that is close by had a number of restaurants and a grocery store. There is also a Starbucks. The location was perfect for our day trips to the Creation Museum, the Ark and the Newport Aquarium. All in all, I would definitely recommend the house and will stay here again if we are ever in the area again.

House Layout Allows Breakout sessions

We sometimes need time away. The large suite allows for getaway. Our exhaustion might have played a part but neighbor train tracks weren't an issue. The other rooms are off separate mini hallways. As the adult you can hear what's going on but you don't have to be "present".Kitchen Slayed some awesome meals but also played a big part of game night refreshments.

Perfect Beautiful Place

This house is absolutely hands down the most beautifully decorated vrbo we've ever stayed at! Walked in to everything spotlessly clean. Bedding smelled amazing & kitchen was stocked with everything we needed and more! We cooked breakfast and supper all 3 days and had every pot/pan & utensil you could want. Looks exactly like the online pictures with a very spacious master bedroom. Loved having a washer & dryer with soap provided! Highly recommend for anyone of you looking for a comfy place to stay!
