About this property

So close to Ark, Quick Drive to Creation, King Bed, Stunning back yard, & Cable

My husband and I purchased this house in 2015 and have completely restored it. Built in 1915 this house served as a collection point for visitors traveling to Cynthinia KY. Our goal in renovating this house was to keep it as original as possible. The mantel, stairs, and the floors are original while everything else is in the house is new. The house is located close to Downtown Williamstown and less then 1.7 miles to the Ark. My husband and I live 3 houses down would love to come and meet you.
My dad is the Mayor of Williamstown and has worked with the Ark Encounter through its construction and opening phases. He would be glad to talk to you about the Ark if you had any questions.

If you need two houses for your family or group we also have another vacation rental. Check out Noah's House (The house with the red kitchen cabinets!)

Although a very nice cottage near the ark we would not call it wheelchair accessible inside. Bath tub was not usable in our case. Rooms downstairs stated one with twin beds that were trundle not bunk and room not big enough to comfortably set it up. Toilet is in large wash/furnace area accessible only through one bedroom. Awkward to access.

Wonderful Place to Stay for a Family Visiting the Ark!

This place was perfect for our needs! It was a great place for a family gathering. They went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we might need - board games, condiments, coffee, reusable K-cups, spices, cooking utensils, even snacks and drinks! It was such a cozy place and we loved hearing the birds sing in the morning! We'd definitely recommend staying here!
