Noah’s Ark Encounter visit

My family and I enjoyed staying here. Plenty of room to accommodate a large group. It was close to the Ark Encounter, which is what brought us to Kentucky from North Carolina. The homeowner was of great help with all of our needs! Definitely recommend!

We stayed here because we had a family of 12. House was very clean and had everything we needed. It was a 30 minute drive to the Ark but it was worth it. The drive was beautiful and so was the property.

Beautiful location!

The host was very kind and easy to communicate with, the house is on a beautiful piece of property, organization in the house is great (labels for everything so you’re not spending extra time searching for things), lots of beds that accommodates a large group (we were 14), open floor plan that was great for a large group, and the fire pit in the backyard was the cherry on top. Definitely recommend!

Out of the way escape

We stayed there after a long day at the Ark Encounter. The house is very nice and clean with plenty of room however there aren’t places to eat nearby so best to bring your own food. We were only there one night but it would be a nice place to stay longer at.

Really loved this property and the owners were very kind and responded to texts quickly! The ONLY downfall is we expected the entire home but the family lives in the lower level. I do believe that should be made completely clear, and the entire home should NOT be listed on the property. With that being said the home is stunning and we loved our time at Anam Cara!
