The home was very nice to stay in. Needed some directions on how to operate the TV. Couldn't locate the local channels. Only draw back was the trains that went by numerous times day and night and blew there whistles.

My wife and I along with my sister and her husband spent the week here. We visited the Ark Encounter and the Creation Museum and the 40 Days of music. It was a blessed time and will definitely do it again!! The house had everything we needed and was a wonderful place for all of us to stay. Awesome eating places near by and the local people were so nice and friendly! We will definitely be back!

We've had a good family reunion and the only regrets was that it was too short. Thank you for facilitating that. We loved the large island. As a suggestion, some condiments would come very handy in the kitchen.

Stay at Dry Ridge, Kentucky

Stay could be more enjoyable with the addition of few amenities. The Coffee maker was 15 years old, with no instructions and not cleaned from previous use. Plus an older individual coffee cup device that looks horrible. Internal maintenance is required, ie, caulking, painting, and wall chips. Removal of linens is ludicrous and instructions to place used towels in a non-existent laundry basket . A fee was added for cleaning to take care of most of these items. A strange instruction was written on guest arrival info to contact host if any concerns are noted, but no number was given to call and host response was delayed by hours. The power went out in the house for several hours, but notice was unavailable.Overall, this property was graded a ‘C’ by me because of a frugal effort to lower their cost at the expense of the guests. The obvious lack of amenities and repairs is indicative of a host trying to save money and enjoy the fruits of guests looking for a place to stay in the beautiful state of Kentucky. My recommendation would be to do necessary internal maintenance, provide some additional amenities, and remove the only provided item in the cabinet which is someone’s used ibuprofen. Additionally when someone is traveling from miles away and leaving their home , it would be nice to receive information about the property before having to inquire. Two days before stay is unacceptable IMHO.But my grands did enjoy the dog next door and looked forward to seeing each day. Regards

We had a great time with our family and grandchildren. The house was perfect for a family of our size (4 adults, 2 grandchildren and a 7 month old grandchild.) We all enjoyed the kitchen and island combo for meals together. Wish we could have stayed longer.
