Beautiful kitchen and dining room and nice place to chat or read in living room. So close to Creation and the Ark basically right in the middle of both of them. The host was very quick on getting back to us with answers to any questions we had. Stephanie was kind and considerate regarding my special needs. We would recommend this little home

Perfect house for family

It was a birthday trip to the Arc and Museum and the house is settled almost between the two venues. The house is adorable, very clean and having two bathrooms is a big bonus. The neighborhood is quiet and a large grocery chain is just minutes away.

The Title for My Review

This is our second stay with this host and property. Both times were excellent, non-eventful stays with prompt communication from the host that included all the information needed. All the essentials that you would expect are present.For Future Renters:The driveway is one car-width and you'll park in the back tucked up by the house. It may be a little awkward for some to get into a good position to avoid blocking the driveway which would restrict access to the detached garage/separate apartment (not part of the rented property). You should contact the host and make sure you're not going to have a problem if you have multiple cars or something quite large.The television has guest mode which allows you to hook up your accounts. The accounts should get auto-cleared based on the stay schedule if you forget to manually remove them.

Allergies

The place was clean, location to surrounding activities was perfect, and the decorating was up to date. Light fixture in the bathroom did not work. It was spacious. The Kuerig and kitchen was our favorite. Unfortunately, the house smelled like old smoke. We all have allergies and a chronically Ill daughter. We had to open all the windows and keep her out of the living room. Our eyes were itchy and nasal drainage. Our daughter had a asthma attack. Most of her time she had to spend in the bedroom where we placed a fan in the window or the kitchen. There is an old fireplace in the main L/R. With a bag of Baking soda in it. Curtains and couch smelled of smoke. Unfortunately, this really should be mentioned in the description for the elderly and allergy populations. There was a small air filter near the fireplace but it did nothing.

Our House

The house was great we loved it nice and clean, Updates were nice was disappoint in in the appearance of the outside. I would recommend that the yard and trimming be done before the next guest and trim the bush on the side back. We were four senior people (68-84) and the living room furniture was not very comfortable for us need arms on chairs to get up easier. The two guys would have preferred recliners so they could put their feet up (poor circulation) LOL. But this is just us older persons. We thought it was a great place and will recommend it to everyone. Thank you so much..

Stephanie is a marvelous proactive host with a cozy home to share. We loved everything about the house - beds and linens were top notch. Kitchen was well supplied with all of our needs. Stephanie was always a step ahead of us and I appreciated that. If you are heading to northern Kentucky, choose this location.
