Near the ARK Encounter

Wonderful little place to stay, clean, quiet, comfortable, nicely furnished and near our vacation destination. Kids would enjoy the upstairs (it's like a hide-away room) with games and comfy bean bag chairs.

In town for a conference at the Ark, stayed 3 nights. We would have loved to stay longer. Great house! Clean, well stocked, comfy beds and even the shower/water pressure were amazing! Hope to sometime come back to this property.
