Perfect countryside home near Ark Encounter

Comfortable home in country side that allows pets!!! Was 30 minutes from the Ark Encounter. The property owner was so great to answer all our questions and there was so many niceities like fresh vegetables and even dog treats waiting for us when we arrived.
