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!

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.
