About this property

Gorgeous Lakefront Retreat, Private Dock, Sleeps 8, 11 min from Ark Encounter

Welcome to Lakin’ It Easy, a charming lakefront property located on Williamstown Lake. As you head down the stairs onto the back deck, you will immediately notice the gorgeous water views and quickly begin to unwind. Upon entering the house you'll find an open concept living area with a sectional and a dining table that seats six. The kitchen is fully equipped to gather and prepare meals. Beyond the kitchen is a full bath with walk in shower. A small laundry area with a full size washer and dryer unit is beyond the bathroom. Take the stairs up to the open family room and its fabulous views of the lake! The large open area offers a small seating area for watching TV, 2 twin beds, and an additional loft with a queen size bed. There are two bedrooms off of the family room. One has a king bed and the other has a queen. The queen bedroom has an exterior door that leads out to the driveway for easy unloading and loading of vehicles. A half bath joins the two bedrooms in the middle. Both bedrooms and the loft have brand new Roku TVs for streaming your favorite subscription services such as Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, etc. The loft also has a dvd player and a Nintendo Wii. There's also a shelf full of board games, cards, puzzles, etc. to keep you enjoying your vacation even on a rainy day!

Enjoy morning coffee with the most gorgeous view on the two-tiered deck or grill up a feast on the gas grill provided. Meander down to the dock, which has a large covered deck area. It's a great place to relax with a cold beverage and watch the boats go by in the summer or do a little dock fishing. Feel free to use our 4 adult kayaks or 2 stand up paddle boards. The dock has a second level for extra room or for those who like to lay in the sun.

This is such a cozy and comfortable lake home, a great place to relax and enjoy a family or friends getaway. You'll want to return again and again!

Location: Private family home, 1.3 miles from Williamstown Marina and 7.3 miles from the popular Ark Encounter.

Relaxing Lakeside Retreat
My husband and I, along with our daughter, son-in-law and three grandsons had a wonderful stay at this beautiful lakeside retreat. We visited the Cincinnati Zoo, attended a Reds game, and visited the Ark while there. I wish we would have had more time to just enjoy the house and lake. It is beautifully decorated with lots of things to do like kayaking, paddle boarding, fishing, sunbathing, and playing board games. (So many boardgames!!) The hostess has truly thought of everything. We appreciated the welcome basket of goodies since all of the boys were hungry and we had not had a chance to grocery shop yet. This property is close to lots of places to eat and The Ark. We would love to come back in the summer and spend more time at this beautiful lake home!!

Great Place!
Perfect place to stay in a relax setting on the lake. The house was great for our family, plenty of room for everyone. Super clean and neat! Not to far from Noah's Ark or Dry Ridge if you needed a Walmart or places to eat. Still close enough to Lexington to drive in and explore the Horse Park and surrounding areas. Would highly recommend staying here!

About the host

Hosted by Dawn Thornberry

Host profile image
I'm from the Northern Kentucky area which is why we chose to purchase property on Williamstown Lake. In 45 minutes we can be out of the city and on a mini vacation! My family has loved our time at the lake over the past 7 years and we are looking forward to sharing our little piece of heaven with others. With our kids now young adults, my husband and I are entering the empty nest phase and finding ourselves looking for new adventures. I've always loved hosting and decorating so I'm excited to share my love of hospitality with our new rental community!

Why they chose this property

We had been visiting friends at their homes on Williamstown Lake for years and each time left dreaming of our own little spot of heaven on the water. There's just something special about being on the lake, an afternoon on the dock relaxing with family and friends watching the boats go by. Even in the off season the colors of nature are so beautiful it's hard not to find peace and feel your stress melt away. In any season, our property provides a place to rest and unwind for a few days.

What makes this property unique

Our property sits near the middle and widest parts of Williamstown Lake, which makes for the most beautiful views while also allowing us plenty of room to enjoy floating and swimming right off of our dock. Our large parking area and concrete walkway down to the dock make for easier accessibility that is hard to come by around the steep lakefront.
