The Little White Cottage was awesome. It was clean, cozy, stocked, and very nostalgic. If you're into sunrises, it's worth getting up early to enjoy the many colors; an awesome sight! The hosts were accommodating, and the Ark Encounter is only five minutes away. The Creation Museum is about a 35–40-minute drive, and BB Riverboats and the Aquarium about 40 miinutes away. Enjoy!

The house everything we needed. We cooked a steak dinner on the charcoal grill after visiting the Ark Encounter the first day. We were able to do are laundry, which was nice for the continuation of our trip to Nashville. There’s also a very friendly, affectionate cat that we enjoyed. He also enjoyed the food my husband bought for others to share, too.

Delightful and cosy place to stay close to Ark Encounter. Very clean. Lovely deck frequented by a sweet cat who loves affection and treats. Very nice to meet the owners who live across the street. Furnished with lovely antiques and collectibles. Handy to have access to a washer and dryer and so nice of the owners to have a basket of treats in the kitchen.

I have been to many Vrbo's in my traveling but this one will ALWAYS be the most memorable. Im 69 years old and this little cottage took me down memory lane. The moment I walked through the door I felt all the tension of traveling disappear and a sense of calm and being safe replace it. I could write more but you really need to plan a visit to experience it for yourself. The horses and calico cat were cherries on top of a beautiful experience.
This could have been my moms blender!

The Little White Cottage

ABSOLUTE PERFECTION!!! It was a hot & very humid summer day when we arrived, after a 6 hr drive. Upon entering the Little White Cottage, I felt the welcoming heart of the owners. Every light was turned on and the A/C was set to 70 degrees! The little cottage was so well decorated with local antiques and modern amenities. I was especially excited to see there was an ice maker that pumped out the ice!! The owners of the Little White Cottage even left 1/2 dz eggs and carrots in the fridge, in case the local horses stopped to visit. Sadly, they did not, but we were certainly entertained by the sweet little Calico kitten on the back porch! I loved feeding her and giving her fresh water during this intense heat and she thanked me by letting me hold her and some sweet purrs! There was so many details to the visitor's comfort and pleasures. I especially loved the shampoo bottles above the medicine cabinet that had PH 302!! EXCELLENT DETAIL!!! Thank you for a beautiful 2 night stay!!

Just right for Ark and science museum

We loved all the antiques, the convenience of dry falls for food and five minutes from the Ark. We just wished that it had a central AC instead of a window unit. I appreciate the host, they were very nice people and if you message them they will answer you back very quickly. Overall we had a nice stay. Thank you for sharing your cottage with us.

Best place to go to the Ark Encounter.Everything you could need is provided by the most gracious hosts. The decor was so pretty of antiques. The horses in the back you and the cats on the back porch was a bonus.

Awesome property! We really enjoyed our stay. It was super convenient to get to the Ark Encounter and a reasonable distance to drive to the Creation Museum. The quaint cottage-like home was clean and wonderfully decorated and had all the comforts and conveniences of home. The outdoor space was nice as well. The hosts were very responsive when contacted. We highly recommend staying at this property.

Perfect Retreat

Lovely, well appointed cottage with every kind consideration. The quaintness, the view, the birds and horses, and the spectacular sunrises made our stay beyond expectations. Great location: We were able to enjoy the Ark Encounter, Things in Cincinnati and Lexington. We give The Little White Cottage two enthusiastic thumbs up!

We loved our stay! The home was put together with love and care. Tammy and Alan are great. The view was spectacular and the horses were just an added bonus. There were hidden treasures everywhere you looked. We enjoyed hiking, the Ark, a couple museums, and a laugh with Tammy and Alan, I know I will never forget this wonderfully fantastic trip!
