I'd happily book here again. We were at a conference at the ark, and the short drive was a real perk!! The home is beautifully appointed and we lacked for nothing.

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!

Cute and convenient

This home has everything you need for a stay, well-equipped kitchen, ample towels, etc. It was clean and the beds were comfortable. Very tastefully decorated. It was convenient to the Ark Encounter and the Creation Museum. Cute little town. The homeowner provided helpful information prior to our stay about nearby restaurants, attractions, grocery stores, etc and their distance from the home. Check-in was super easy. There were even snacks and waters provided. Very considerate! Highly recommend!

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!
