Relaxing stay in beautiful community

The location was amazing. We come for the Creation Museum and it was a short drive from the house. We loved that a park was just a couple of blocks away from the home and the kids loved playing there in the evening. The area was very walkable and it was fun walking to the view the river sunsets. Would recommend for families for sure.

All the amenities you need in a cozy, comfortable setting. We walked to the river one morning and sat in a swing overlooking the river. Convenient location to the museum and not far from the ark. Great stay!

10/10 would highly recommend

Everything we could possibly need was here! It was such a blessing of a place to stay with our family of 7 while we were on vacation. They thought of everything when supplying this property. There was even a pack and play for our infant, which was a huge blessing to help save on packing space. We will be recommending this property to anyone we know planning a trip to the Creation Museum / Ark or just needing a place to stay in that area.

Great place

45 minutes from the Ark encounter. We incorrectly thought that the creation museum was in the same location as the Ark. The house was clean and well stocked. Nice neighborhood. Also, get groceries before coming. There are no stores on this side of river.

Nice comfortable home in a quaint town

Nice comfortable home in a quaint town. We enjoyed our stay. Plenty of room. Great amenities. The town is small but a nice place to walk. The home is right near the Ohio River. Beautiful view. Furniture is a little older and not the most comfortable for sitting. That's about the only needed improvement.

Comfy, Quiet, & Well Supplied

My parents, my sister, and I found this home to be just what we needed during our 4 night stay. There was plenty of living space, yard space, quiet streets to walk, and so many extras that we appreciated. The beds were comfortable, hangers were in the closet, shampoo & body wash in the shower, plenty of pots, pans, and kitchen appliances along with common spices/seasonings, games, & movies. If we had occasion to revisit the area, I wouldn’t hesitate one bit to stay here again. It was lovely.

Quiet and peaceful

The kids enjoyed the lake, play area down the road and talking with neighbor children. The adults enjoyed the peace and quiet. Went to museums and enjoyed the ability to come back relax and cook a well balanced meal for the family. Multiple tvs so everyone could watch what they wanted however this trip no television was needed. The kids were enjoying the outdoors. Thanks for a great place to stay.

Great Little Vacation House

We stayed here for a couple days while we went to the Ark Enounter and Creation Museum. The house was very clean and had plenty of room for me, my husband, and our 4 kids! It’s located in a little quiet town. We enjoyed walking down to the Ohio River to collect seashells and watch the sunsets! The house was well equipped with kitchen items and a TV in each room if that’s your thing. We also enjoyed sitting on the front porch in the mornings and evenings. Overall, we had a great stay and would recommend!

Exceptional home

We are considered a big family in societies view 2 adults and 6 children. For a 2 bedroom 1 bath home the layout of the home helped our family feel right at home with plenty of room for all of us. It felt like home away from home for us all. Had everything we needed. And it was so close to the Creation Museum which is one of the reasons we picked this home. The roads are a bit of a challenge with the steepness and curves. But as long as you take it slow and steady you will be fine.

Clean & very well appointed

Description is very accurate. Very comfortable. Controlling shower temperature was a little different. Turning water off is not all the way to one side as would be expected. It's necessary to turn knob toward a more central position. Adjusting temperature requires similar hunting but once understood works fine.

We had a great stay in Petersburg. Nice and close to the Creation Museum. Also visited Lawrenceburg across the river to walk the trail and eat at Riverwatch. Would definitely stay here again.
