Very Quiet
This place is wonderful. Very clean and Ms Sherry is so sweet and helpful. I loved the fire pit, porch swing. Only thing I would have done different. Is to bought some groceries before we got there. Other than that it’s a great place for a getaway. It’s so peaceful.planning going back in the fall.

Sherry was an excellent host. She greeted us at the meeting site and we followed her down her propertys road to the house. The house was neat and nicely decorated with little animals hidden throughout for the kiddos enjoyment. (Be sure to bring a tiny animal to hide for her and other visitors) Sherry gave us a tour of the house, showing us where everything is, including extra blankets and board games. She gave us a loaf of homemade banana bread and it was a delicious breakfast treat that we all enjoyed. This is the best vrbo experience we've ever had. Thanks for welcoming our Girl Scout Troop. Wishing you many more visitors. God bless.

TERRIFIC STAY
My Happy Place was terrific! Sherry was an excellent hostess and the house couldn’t have been better. She made sure everything that we could ever need was there. Plus, she is a great person!!! The house is in a quiet location and you can even see the ark from the property. We couldn’t have picked a better place to spend our vacation .

Arc Encounter Happy Place
The owner was exceptional. The location is remote in the facility is not new but very nice and large. Fully functioning, fully equipped and wonderfully private. A little bit of a distance to get to, but that’s a necessity if it’s going to be remote in private. Great proximity to the arc encounter.

Wonderful place to stay
We came to visit the Ark and this was the perfect place if you aren’t into the hotel thing. So close to the Ark! Secluded, so private and perfect for a family as it was for just the two of us as well. This old farm house is so well kept, clean, roomy and comfortable. Nice little getaway, we enjoyed out stay at Sherry’s Happy Place and appreciated her hospitality. Thank you again Sherry, we were very blessed with our trip to Kentucky from A-Z.

Restful, Quiet and Creative
I am so thankful that I found My Happy Place when searching for a place for my mom and I to stay. We both so appreciated Sherry's hospitality and loved her creative decorating. Pleasant, spacious and carefully tended, this cottage is tucked amid quiet, rolling green hills. The privacy and peaceful countryside was such a blessing. Being close to the Ark was ideal.

Perfect Quiet Getaway
It was perfect. Since my hubby and I both have busy schedules, we were looking for something quiet and more like home. The Happy Place certainly met that wish and then some. Sherry was great to work with and made us feel so welcome. We will definitely be back.

Decompress
My friend of nearly 30 years and I came to stay at this little slice of heaven for just a small little getaway from our stressful day to day and catch up. We had such a great and comfortable stay here. It was perfect. Sherry was so wonderful and informative, and she worked with us when we were about to blasted with what we hope is the last snow storm of the season. She allowed us to move the date so we could truly enjoy our trip. She brought us a loaf of delicious bread that didn't last the night lol. The fire pit was all stacked and ready to go, the house was very clean and well stocked. In our excitement we forgot 2 items: 1 egg and Cumin. She was gracious enough to share an egg from her kitchen and track down the spice we needed to complete our delicious meal. The weather was perfect, the beds were comfy and the house is cozy. 10/10 will be back again. Thank you again for a much needed day off and sharing your Happy Place with us!

New Years visit to Ark
My family of 4 (2 kids 8&9), and my husband and I traveled from NY to KY over the New Year holiday to see the Ark Encounter. Sherry was such a thoughtful and gracious host! She contacted me a few weeks before our stay to give directions, met us at the entry to the property to take us back to our rental, and had even set up animals around the rental for the kids to find! The home was so clean, and had everything our family needed during our stay, from spices & condiments for meals we cooked to extra toiletries and laundry soap. It quickly felt like a home away from home. Sherry was so accessible, yet gave us space to explore the area and enjoy our time as a family on her property. We will definitely be back!!
