The perfect cottage!

We were in town for a wedding and this was the perfect location! We were close to good food and coffee and a quick trip up the highway. The house was super clean and everything seemed brand new! The beds were extra comfy and the bathrooms were extra clean. There was so much room! The bedrooms were not crowded and we enjoyed many visitors in the relaxing living room. We didn’t need the kitchen, but it was full of anything needed. Communication was clear and crazy simple which was much appreciated!

Great stay!

We had a great stay at the Cozy Cottage! We came to see the Ark and it was so nice to be so close! Only a 10 minute drive there. We also went to the Louisville slugger museum/factory, Kentucky science center and Newport Aquarium. Lots of food options nearby and a Walmart right down the road. We appreciated the high quality towels and toys there for the kids. It was nice to have a washer/dryer also, Great stay!

Winter Getaway

We stayed for 3 nights. Everything was wonderful. The decor was straight from Chip & Joanna. Cozy and Modern, clean & concise. The only drawback was how firm all the beds were. Thanks for everything.

Perfect for Families

The Cozy Cottage was a beautiful and functional place for our family of 6 and Grandma to stay while visiting the Ark Encounter, Creation Museum and Corvette Museum. The house is incredibly clean, and the kitchen had everything we needed for making meals there. There were many thoughtful extras like toys and games that made it very fun for our children ages 11months to 9 years. Highly recommend!! 11months to 9 years.

Nice, kid friendly home

Our family enjoyed this home. There was a nice room for the kids and open concept living space to hang out and enjoy meals. We appreciated what the host provided, like kid plates and cups, coffee, etc. It was a convenient drive to the ark. There is a Walmart and parks close by. Would stay again.
