Great Trip
If going to Ark and Creation this Farmhouse is the perfect location, half way between both. If not it is still a terrific place to stay just two miles from Town of Independence. The host, Marlene Smothers made our stay really terrific.

A wonderful home away from home
My younger children loved the assortment of books and toys available, my teenagers couldn’t get enough of the foosball table. My family of nine comfortably enjoyed movies in the cozy living room. This house was exactly the space we needed to relax after busy days gathering with distant relatives and exploring various locations in the surrounding area.

Felt at home in this farm house
Ms. Smothers was wonderful to communicate with, and had a perfect house to feel at home in the country. Everything was clean, and as detailed on the site. The location was great! Within 30 minutes of the Ark Encounter, Creation Museum, King’s Island, and Cincinnati. Not to mention the cupcakes she had for us on arrival were delicious! In strongly encourage anyone to stay here!

Fantastic Home Away From Home!
Marlene was a pleasure to work with from the beginning. She is very quick to respond and made us feel right at home. Her home is fully equipped with everything a family needs - we were especially impressed by all of the things she had for kids! (Pack n play, toys, outside activities, games, etc.). This is one of the best houses we have rented. We will be recommending this home to anyone we know visiting the area. Thank you for everything, Marlene!

Perfectly Wonderful
Marlene was amazing and provided a sweet welcoming for our family of 10 (8 adults and 2 small children). All were very comfortable. We loved the history of the home, many of the original features, the many ceiling fans and amenities. It was a perfect experience from start to finish and we would highly recommend this home to others. You will feel right at home ❤️

Thanksgiving
We cannot express how grateful we are of this lovely home. I hosted a small Thanksgiving dinner for my family. It's been 20 years since my wife has hosted Thanksgiving in her hometown. The kitchen was perfect equipped with everything she needed to cook. The furbabies enjoyed the cozy house and big yard as well. We will definitely be back.

This home is by far one of the best we have rented! It was accurately represented, very clean, and beautiful. There are so many thoughtful touches to make your stay more enjoyable. We especially loved the cupcakes & milk bones set out for us! I also love that there are books, games, toys and a fire pit. We would definitely stay here again!

A great vacay stay!
This property was a perfect stay for our family of seven! It was exactly as the pictures showed on the website and provided entertainment in the house with the foosball table, toys, games and large screen TV. Outside we had a lovely shaded backyard where we played cornhole and the kids drew chalk on the sidewalks. It was very family friendly and the perfect location for our adventures out to the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter. We were perfectly placed between both museums. Marlene had great suggestions for a local events and activities, which we appreciated! We would definitely stay again!
