New Years visit to Ark
My family of 4 (2 kids 8&9), and my husband and I traveled from NY to KY over the New Year holiday to see the Ark Encounter. Sherry was such a thoughtful and gracious host! She contacted me a few weeks before our stay to give directions, met us at the entry to the property to take us back to our rental, and had even set up animals around the rental for the kids to find! The home was so clean, and had everything our family needed during our stay, from spices & condiments for meals we cooked to extra toiletries and laundry soap. It quickly felt like a home away from home. Sherry was so accessible, yet gave us space to explore the area and enjoy our time as a family on her property. We will definitely be back!!

Most relaxing place
Host was wonderful. House was so well kept. No traffic and beautiful views all the time. A place to just relax and take in God's handy work and view nature as it was intended, undisturbed!!! Hospitality was awesome. Would stay there again.

Quite getaway
We had a great time. My children loved having the field to play in. Everything was very clean. Property owner was very nice a helpful. We cooked dinner one night on the fire outside but we were also happy to have a full kitchen to cook in. The cottage is tucked away in the back of the farm. All you see when you come out I. The morning are the rolling hills of open land. What a change from my normal pace. Thank you for a great visit and for the delicious bread treat.

Serene home away from home
My family absolutely loved our stay at this property. The owner Sherry makes you feel like part of the family when you check in and she is sure to include something for everyone in your stay. This property was one of the cleanest rentals we’ve ever stayed in. The house is stocked well with everything you need for your stay and the property is absolutely breathtaking.The sunrise and sunset out there is amazing and the amount of stars you can see! I recommend planning time to just make a fire in the fire pit and relax under the stars while you’re there.

Perfect Happy Place
Restful & peaceful! Deer in the yard every morning. Our hostess, Sherry made us feel welcome and her homemade Cushaw bread was fabulous! Her history of this wonderful property was so interesting. She is a jewel. Everything we needed was on site. We did our laundry and returned on the flight home with clean clothes, so no laundry at home.It was very close to the ark and eating places. I highly recommend this HAPPY PLACE.

Country Paradise!
My husband and I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay when we traveled to Williamstown to visit the Ark Encounter. Sherry, the owner, was a delight to meet and very hospitable. The property is beautiful, and we enjoyed walking around, taking nature photos, sitting by the fire, and just unwinding. Sherry has thought of everything one night need and goes the extra mile in a number of ways, including making the most delicious bread for her guests! She is a willing and effective communicator, which is so helpful. The provisions for the fire pit were great, and we enjoyed looking at the stars and listening for the coyotes in the distance. :) The location is perfect--close enough to shops and restaurants to be convenient, but secluded enough to be a retreat. If you're looking for a quiet and peaceful place to stay, where you're treated like a friend from the start, My Happy Place is for you!

What a treat! From the excellent communication with Sherry from the initial booking , to having her meet us at the drive!! What a treasure she is! The house is perfect with all amenities provided.

The Perfect Little Farmhouse
My Happy Place is one of the most unique little farmhouses situated in the beautiful rolling hills. Sherry, the host, is as friendly a woman as you would ever want to meet. And what a great sense of humor. The farmhouse was immaculate and the surrounding property was stunning. We didn’t want to leave thank you Sherry for everything!!

Best Vacation!
This was one of the most amazing places my wife and I have ever stayed with our son! We have stayed in bigger and fancier places but none compare to this happy place. There was something special about this stay. This home is located on the back side of Sherry's family farm. The closest neighbor to us was over 1/2 mile away. It was so peaceful!! It gave us time to spend together, to rest and to relax. The only thing that we didn't like was having to leave. Sherry is one of the kindest and sweetest people that we have ever met. We hope to return again so that we can enjoy her happy place once more!!
