Cozy Home Away From Home!
Summary: As the name suggests, you’ll feel immediately at home the moment you step through the door of this gorgeous split-level home in Florence.
The Space: Tucked away in a quiet residential neighborhood less than ½ hour south of Cincinnati and the surrounding area, you’ll be within a quick drive to this wider area’s best sights and attractions while remaining secluded enough to truly relax and unwind. If you head northeast, you’ll be in the suburbs and downtown area of the “Queen City”, filled with historical sites, restaurants, shopping, and thrilling attractions all running along the scenic Ohio River. If you head south, you’ll find the must-see-it-to-believe-it Ark Encounter, a life-size replica of Noah’s Ark. If you’re an avid skier or just a beginner looking to try your hand at snowboarding, cross over into Indiana to visit Perfect North Slopes with 23 trails for any expert level. Back at the home, a walking trail behind the house will lead you into Covered Bridge Park, the perfect exploratory outing for the whole family to take in the natural setting and fresh country air. Evenings are best spent on the home’s spacious deck, enjoying a cocktail or two under the stars and soaking all your cares away in the bubbling hot tub.
Heading indoors, you’ll find plenty of private spaces for the group to spread out while still presenting opportunity for connectivity and creating lasting memories. The cozy living room offers a comfortable sofa and smart TV for hours spent streaming your favorite entertainment. A few steps away and you’ll be in the dining room, where a chic table and chairs set can seat 4 for formal meals or to host an electric family game night. The kitchen is well-equipped, offering stainless steel appliances, stone countertops, and ample cabinetry stocked with all your mealtime necessities. Drip and Keurig coffee makers are available for brewing up your morning cup, and you’ll have your choice of prime locations to enjoy it indoors or out. Escape for a quiet hour alone to the den on the lower-level and lounge back with a good book or perhaps even to sneak in an afternoon nap.

We just wanted a little place to get away. This was the place it was perfect for us to relax like we were home but feel like we were on vacation. I only wish I could have enjoyed the hot tub more.

Nice Stay
This was our first time using VRBO for a vacation stay and this was the second place that we stayed at and it was also a great place to stay. It was clean and had a lot of amenities. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to others. Since we were traveling with grandparents, there was one step on the steps coming into the house that was a little higher than the others, but we were able to work around it. Also, it would have been nice to have handrails on the stairs inside the house. In any case, we did enjoy our stay. Thank-you for giving us a wonderful experience!

Holiday trip to The Ark and Creation Museum
This property was the perfect size for our family of 5 and close to many amenities in Florence. Also was an easy drive to all the places we wanted to see. Had everything we needed. We mistakenly did not realize it was in such a crowded neighborhood with lots of construction going on at the time, but we really weren't there enough for it to be an issue. Property managers were very responsive.

This is not a good place for seniors to be staying because of the lack of handrails in the huge step to get up onto the front porch and no handrails up and down steps in the split level

Stay during flooring project
My elderly mother and I stayed here while the flooring in our home was redone. It had everything we needed and was clean. The problems we encountered were the steps leading up to the house and the refrigerator froze everything. My mother could not enter the home without a great deal of help. There is a huge step going into the house that was impossible for her to navigate without a great deal of help. We set the refrigerator at the lowest setting and still everything was frozen. Other than those issues- we had a nice stay.

Perfect Place and Price
We enjoyed our stay to the fullest. It is a quiet neighborhood and had everything we needed. The hot tub was nice to use. The lights on the back deck did not work, but we opened the curtains in the dining area to reflect light out onto deck, so we were fine with that! The light switches are a little confusing throughout the house, flipping different directions to turn on and some didn't seem to control anything that we could figure out, but again...minor detail that didn't effect our stay! Beds were super comfortable! Will definitely stay here again when I come back to the area to visit with friends.

Disappointing
The property was ok. Some cleaning is clearly overlooked so I wonder about other things. The lock on the back door was not working, and when we contacted the owner to fix it, the remedy was to duct tape a piece of wood to the door. Also, the bedroom door was falling off the hinge when we arrived. The neighborhood was not great either.

Great space for our family
We needed a place to stay midway on a family trip and this was a perfect midway stop. The kitchen was well appointed and after settling in and getting the kids to bed my husband and I enjoyed the fireplace and hot tub. Appreciate the super quick response to all my questions, coffee options, water bottles in the fridge. Not to mention how well decorated everything was. Superb home.
If you’re traveling with a toddler be mindful there are stairs.
