“Sunset Serenity" truly lives up to its name, offering a wonderfully quiet and peaceful escape. From the moment we arrived, it felt like a home away from home, equipped with everything we could possibly need for a comfortable stay. The attention to detail in providing all the essentials made our visit incredibly convenient and relaxing.Its location is ideal, just a short and easy drive to the Ark Encounter, which was a major plus for our trip. Beyond the apartment itself, the hospitality we received was truly exceptional – warm, welcoming, and genuinely helpful, making our experience even more enjoyable.And as an extra bonus, the pool was a fantastic amenity, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. We highly recommend "Sunset Serenity" for anyone looking for a tranquil, comfortable, and conveniently located place to stay with outstanding hospitality.

Wonderful!
I went to this property for a 2 night stay for Independence Day with my 8-year old son. Martha and Donnie were the most kind and welcoming hosts and truly went above and beyond. They did everything they could to ensure our stay was everything we wanted. Donnie and took my son for a side by side ride and they invited us with them to watch some local fireworks which were great. We enjoyed the pool, outdoor toys, and games provided by Martha and Donnie. We cannot wait for our next stay!

Home away from home
If this place is available for the dates you need, BOOK IT!! You WONT be disappointed! When I rent a place, I get an idea mixed with the pictures and Sunset Serenity matched it perfectly! The owners were so sweet and wonderful. There was so much to do and the kids absolutely LOVED having their own pool. From the pool, to the swings, to the fireplace, to the rooms, Sunset Serenity had an activity for morning, afternoon and evening. I honestly wish we had more time to stay. If we ever get back to KY, Sunset Serenity WILL be our choice to stay. I will definitely let everyone at home know about this cute, cozy (AC was relaxing for summer) home away from home!

Nice Country Setting/Pool
The adults enjoyed the country setting; our son enjoyed the pool. While staying there, we visited The Creation Museum, and The Ark Encounter. The Ark Encounter is closer to this location. Bring your hotdogs and burgers, this place has a grill and fire pit.

Martha and Donnie were such wonderful hosts. Our 3 young kids felt so welcomed, we all did. Though the place shares a wall with the owners it felt so private. The pool in the back was the highlight for our girls and the beautiful spacious back yard. The indoor space was more than adequate for our family of 5 with comfortable beds and a well supplied kitchen that meet all our cooking needs.

Peaceful little adventure for our family
We finally made the trip to Kentucky to see the Ark and the Creation Museum. We were so blessed to find this cute little VRBO. The owners were very welcoming and gracious. Our daughter enjoyed the pool and we enjoyed the quiet. Tho this is in the country, it was close enough to Ark (10 minutes) and Creation Museum (45 mins). Also, several restaurants and stores.This little place had everything we needed for our quick getaway. We only wish we could have stayed a couple more days. Huge Thank You to D&M :) Hope to be back someday soon.

Nice little get away
My husband and I had a very nice stay. I guess I didn't realize it was connected to another home so the walls were a little thin but other than that it was fine. The hosts were very hospitable and even left us some Christmas treats. I enjoyed painting a rock to leave behind from our stay.

Beautiful property- county setting. It’s a home away from home with the nicest and kindest hosts. Beautiful road to take an early morning walk. Picturesque scenery that could be placed on a jig saw puzzle. Saw birds, deer and rabbits. No regrets, would stay here again!

Perfection
Perfect location, this VRBO is attached to the owner's main house and on their property. The pool was amazing with floaties and toys for the kids, including life jackets if needed. The rooms were equipped with toys for the kids and games. It was perfect for our family of 4. It has a Keurig with coffee pods, there is a firepit outside, and outdoor games. The owners were kind and so lovely to converse with. The ARK Experience and Creation Museum were close and there was enough to do that we were happy and satisfied. We have bookmarked this property to stay at again when we are in the area.

Martha and Donnie are great. Super place for 2-3 people to stay. Sitting by the fire and watching deer in the rolling landscape is a great departure from everyday craziness.
