Summary:
Seven bedrooms, five bathrooms, 16 guests — and the Ark Encounter five minutes down the road. That's the setup. But what makes this place is the moment you step out back and realize the private pool, hot tub, and fire pit are all waiting, with rolling Kentucky hills stretching out behind them. No checkout line for the pool. No waiting for the hot tub. Your whole family at full capacity, at your own pace, on your own 14 acres.
The Space:
ABOUT THIS SPACE
Your group of 16 has seven private bedrooms spread across three floors — king suites, a queen room, and queen bunk beds so everyone from grandparents to little kids has a space that actually fits.
First Floor:
• Master Suite — king bed, walk-in shower, soaking tub, private ensuite. The trip organizer claims this one.
Second Floor:
• King Bedroom 1 — king bed, shared hallway bath with tub and shower
• King Bedroom 2 — king bed, same shared bath
• King Bedroom 3 — king bed, same shared bath
• Queen Bedroom — queen bed, shared bath
Basement:
• Basement King Suite — king bed, private walk-in shower ensuite, quietest room in the home.
• Bunk Room — two sets of queen-over-queen bunk beds, private ensuite with walk-in shower. The kids settle the top-bunk debate in about 30 seconds.
Five full bathrooms means no morning traffic jams. Each floor is self-contained.
The main floor opens wide — kitchen, dining, and living room flow together so 16 people can share a meal without splitting into shifts. The kitchen has full stainless appliances, granite countertops, a large island with four bar stools, and everything needed to cook for a crowd. Dining table seats eight comfortably. The living room anchors the space with a gas fireplace and enough seating for the whole group.
Downstairs, the basement game room changes the energy: ping pong table, board games, a 75" TV with PlayStation 5. Kids disappear into it at 9pm and adults follow by 10. A second lounge area in the basement is there for anyone who wants something quieter.
Washer and dryer on-site — essential for groups staying multiple nights.

⭐ 5 Star Reviews from our past guests:
"The place was private, beautiful and peaceful. We came up to see the Ark with 10 family members and it was by far the best place to stay. The kids are ready to go back; they enjoyed swimming, ping pong, basketball and the playground. It was a quiet magical space. I was impressed it looked like the photos, was clean and comfortable. If you had a question, they always answered in a timely manner. Great experience! Thank you!!" - Christina
