Weekend visit to the Ark Encounter

After a long drive and day at the Ark Encounter, this lovely home truly felt like our home away from home. We've been to Williamstown 3 times, and my family has asked for this home to be the place we return to. From the decorations, snacks, cozy rooms to the well stocked kitchen and convenient location... we enjoyed it all! Thank you for your special care invested in your home!

Great updated house

This house was perfect for our stay while we went to the Ark and Creation Museum. It is a beautifully updated older home. They have done a great job making sure it is so clean and all the decor and furnishings are updated yet it keeps that older home charm. It is very close to downtown and we shopped at a few of the shops and ate at a couple restaurants. The outdoor grill was a nice feature and we used it. Would definitely recommend this home.

About the host

Hosted by Elisa Gray

Host profile image
I have owned this property since 2009 for long term rental. In 2019, I decided to renovate this home for short term rental and became available for rental in November 2019. I have lived in the area my entire life with strong ties to the community. I am excited to see so many visitors come through Williamstown where you will find quaint shops, a couple restaurants, an ice cream shop, night lights (seriously, walk or drive through town after dark), and more to come soon. I want you to feel a very warm welcome to this newly renovated home and hope you enjoy your stay!
