We loved everything about it. The layout and location was perfect. The drain in the main Bathroom was messed up, but everyone took showers (so it was okay).I was not sure if we needed to strip the beds, so we did. Also, we took out all our trash. Thank you for a wonderful experience. We would like to come again. It was especially nice to have my daughter experience the ARK.Thank youKen

6 / 10Average·Jul 2026
We loved the layout of the house! The outside was beautiful with amazing views. The inside however had an odor, we had to buy air fresheners and that didn’t help cover the mildew/cat urine type smell. We also had an ant problem, while sleeping in the main bedroom we had ants crawling and biting us. The main bathroom had ants on the floor, tub, shower, sink, towels and any clothes. We had bites on our legs and arms and my son had bites on his face. The front door had a large gap on the bottom and you have to push to get it to lock or it keeps trying to auto lock. We also had to ask for check out details as we were sent none. If you have children and plan to have them sleep in the bunkbed know that the top bunk’s mattress is flush with the railing so it made it unsafe for our daughter to sleep on. The location is nice.
