Charming Restored 1915 Home – Less Than 2 Miles from the Ark Encounter

A little smaller than I expected but very clean and nicely decorated, very family friendly Christian inspired decor. Host was nice, we had everything we needed. Highly recommend this property if you're going to see the Ark Encounter
Only got to stay one of my nights, which was disappointing. It was a very welcoming place and we had a good night there! Nice a close to the Ark for our conference!
This was a perfect place for what my group needed! The hosts were amazing! Definitely would recommend this place if you are needing a place close to the Ark Encounter!
Cleanest place we have ever stared. Beds are comfortable and plenty of nice pillows and blankets. Kitchen has everything you need to cook a full meal. They have a coffee/tea/hot chocolate bar. Decorating is too cute. Loved it from top to bottom
The check-in was seamless and the overall facilities were great for our family, it had everything that we needed. Thanks again for allowing us to stay there.
This is a great little home close to the Ark Encounter. Very convenient and it provided us a great place to call our home base as we also visited the Creation Museum.
My wife and I were very pleased with our experience at this property. It was perfect for our family and the owners were great to work with! No complaints from us!

Thank you so much! We appreciate your great review! God bless!
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!

Thank you for staying with us! We are so glad you loved our home. We hope you stay with us again if you come this way!
Plenty of areas for the kids to separate when needed. Smaller overall house but laid out good and has everything you need. Convent location to restaurants and the ark encounter.
Clean, cozy, well kept and well stocked. Very close to the Ark Encounter and about 30 minutes from the Creation Museum. Potentially sleeps up to eight with sofa bed. Very peaceful. Worth the stay!
We loved our stay!! The quaint 1915 house was very comfortable and the host left snacks, drinks, and coffee which we enjoyed. It was very close to The Ark Encounter and we would definitely recommend this anyone looking for a place to stay.
The place was very clean, comfortable and cozy. The owners provided special treats for us and coffee supplies. Will recommend this place to family and friends visiting the Ark.
Everything was clean and as expected. Our family really enjoyed the home and location. We would highly recommend this home, to any one looking to stay close to the Ark.

Your Story
We’re a family who loves creating welcoming spaces for others to enjoy. My husband and I purchased this home in 2015 and poured our hearts into restoring it while keeping its original charm intact. Hosting has become something we truly enjoy, especially now that our family has grown—we have a 4- and 6-year-old and five wonderful grandkids! Because of that, we understand how important it is to have a comfortable, family-friendly place to stay. We love knowing that our home can be a place where others make special memories together.
Why they chose this property
We chose this neighborhood because of its peaceful, small-town feel and its convenient location. It’s quiet and family-friendly, yet still just minutes from downtown Williamstown and the Ark Encounter. We love how easy it is to get around while still enjoying a relaxed setting where guests can unwind after a busy day of exploring. The area has a welcoming, community feel that makes it a great place to stay, whether you’re visiting for a short trip or a longer getaway.
What makes this property unique
What makes our home special is the combination of historic charm and modern comfort. Built in 1915, it still features original hardwood floors, a beautiful staircase, and a classic fireplace mantel, giving it a warm and timeless feel. At the same time, we’ve updated everything to ensure a clean, comfortable, and convenient stay. It’s also very family-friendly, with space for kids to play, multiple sleeping options, and thoughtful touches throughout. We’ve created a place that feels like home—whether you’re here for a quick visit or a longer stay.
