Want to avoid crowded hotels when you visit Ark Encounter? This cute cottage is clean, has just about anything you or your kids would need, & has great attentive hosts. For example : We couldn't lock the outside door on our way out on our 2nd day. I texted the listed contact & within 5 minutes, we had instructions.Great place to stay!

We enjoyed our two night stay in this well appointed home. Maria and Albert were fantastic hosts and were very responsive. The house is beautifully decorated and the kitchen and coffee bar were well stocked! Access was easy, rooms were clean, beds comfortable, and very close to Ark encounter and short drive to Lexington. Thank you Albert and Maria!

We had a great time, and this house was a big part of that! It was very clean, and we could tell that the owners had put a lot of thought and work into making it comfortable and inviting. It was well stocked and they had lots of books and games, and even had several toys and children’s books and a play area that my two grandchildren who visited me really enjoyed. It’s on a quiet street in the quaint little town of Williamstown, KY and quite near the Ark Encounter.
The house had beautiful decorations which gave it a feel of home.

We ran into a couple concerns and we received immediate responses. We felt very comfortable and there were so many things in the home we didn’t know about that we didn’t bring that were so helpful. The price was so inexpensive we weren’t expecting much and were blown away by the cleanliness and comfort of everything was well as the quality. As a growing family on a budget, I have to stay there aren’t enough affordable and overall excellent properties out there. We will definitely be back to this property on our next trip to the creation museum and arc. Not to mention a day trip to Daniel Boone memorials. Can’t say enough good things.

We really love the house and its location. If there was one thing I would like to see fixed it is the front step. It’s a rock that moves when you step on it. It was a little unnerving, especially when carrying out babat in and out. Otherwise we loved everything.

The house was clean and the kitchen was supplied with all that my husband and I needed for food prep and clean-up. The only thing I couldn't find was where extra paper towels were stored. We didn't spend a lot of time at the home but when we were there we were comfortable and cozy. There was an issue with the toilet seats the bolt on one of toilet seats was broken and the second toilet seat in the hallway was loose, I text the owners right away about the seats and they responded right away and replaced the seats that very day. The home is just 5 minutes from the Ark Encounter but the Creation Museum was about 45 minutes away but the convince of where the home is, made the traveling time to the museum convenient. Town is small, there is a good Mexican restaurant in town and a pizza parlor not sure how much more in the way of resturants there are, sorry. We did travel about 20/30 minutes to the Long Horn stake house and driving there was worth the travel, very good food! There is a grocery store up the road from the house. There is one thing to be aware of though, there is about a one and a half inch rise in the walkway to the front door, be careful there, my husband didn't see it and he tripped, he didn't fall though. If you're going to the Ark Encounter and you want a nice and cozy and comfortable place to stay this is it! Great little home and great hosts!
Showing the cozy living room and if you notice, there are games and books to enjoy.
In this picture you'll notice toys for children and there is a small table with 2 chairs for children to play at (not shown in this picture)
