So close to Ark, Quick Drive to Creation, King Bed, Stunning back yard, & Cable
My husband and I purchased this house in 2015 and have completely restored it. Built in 1915 this house served as a collection point for visitors traveling to Cynthinia KY. Our goal in renovating this house was to keep it as original as possible. The mantel, stairs, and the floors are original while everything else is in the house is new. The house is located close to Downtown Williamstown and less then 1.7 miles to the Ark. My husband and I live 3 houses down would love to come and meet you. My dad is the Mayor of Williamstown and has worked with the Ark Encounter through its construction and opening phases. He would be glad to talk to you about the Ark if you had any questions.

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!
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.
Although a very nice cottage near the ark we would not call it wheelchair accessible inside. Bath tub was not usable in our case. Rooms downstairs stated one with twin beds that were trundle not bunk and room not big enough to comfortably set it up. Toilet is in large wash/furnace area accessible only through one bedroom. Awkward to access.
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.
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!
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.
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 so much! We appreciate your great review! God bless!
The house was beautiful and very clean and well stocked. We vacation every year and this was overall the cleanest place. The trip to the Ark was close. Location was quite. If ever in the area again we would definitely rent again. The hardwood floors are gorgeous.

THank you so much for your review! come back and visit anytime!
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.

About the host
Hosted by Ashley & Todd
My husband Todd and I enjoy collecting antiques, taking cruises in his 1959 GMC, and we love being outdoors. We both were born and raised in Williamstown and we love everything about it. We recently remodeled our 1880 Victorian house that is only three houses down, so we will be able to get you anything you may need.
