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.

Excellent Experience
This place was perfect for what we needed! It was a great home base, and had a welcoming feel to it. The children loved it the moment we arrived! They had fun running up and down the beautiful lush green rolling hills in the back yard. It was so close to the ark that we were able to pop home for lunch and then go back again for the afternoon. Two of the bedrooms were on the lower level of a walkout basement and the kids were not scared and didn't mind. I believe this was due to the open concept type access to the lower level. The dining area is cozy as there were 7 of us, so we did have to turn the table sideways and were happy to find 2 fold up chairs in the MB closet for all of us to fit around the table, there was another spare cushioned chair in the bedroom if there had been 8 of us. It was great that everyone had a spot to go and just relax on their own instead of being cooped up in a hotel room. The house was close to downtown and some of us were able to walk there to look at a few of the shops. We also enjoyed playing board games at the table in the evening! We had brought some, but also found a few more in the bench by the front door! Thank you Ashley & Todd, you're home is lovely! We truly enjoyed our stay!

A sweet place
wonderfully old, quaint, modernized, cozy. The perfect place for my daughter and grand daughters to "hang" and spend quality time with each other. We cooked meals together, watched old "Leave it to Beaver" re-runs, tied a quilt, visited nearby The Ark (amazing!!) and an evening at the Stage Right Theater to watch "Footloose". The beds were incredibly comfortable and the laundry facilities were very much appreciated. Also the shower had great pressure and was very enjoyable! We would do it all over again!! Thank you so much!!!

Small clean home, easy to find and good amenities.
We really enjoyed our stay! We were impressed with the cleanliness of the home. Definitely appreciated the amenities like water and coffee plus snacks. Plenty of towels were provided along with extra blankets. The shower had a dispenser with shampoo, conditioner and bodywash. The AC worked wonderfully, I especially appreciated it. The house is small and cozy. I will definitely recommend it to my family and friends.

We enjoyed our stay while visiting the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum. The only suggestion I have is adding grab bars for the shower for older citizens safety while getting in and out. Thank you for hosting.

Lovely, cozy home and excellent location
My sisters and I stayed at this home when we visited the Ark Encounter, Creation Museum and some other local places. We loved the location and the home was comfy and cozy, perfect for the three of us. The kitchen was well equipped and the beds were comfortable. We ate several meals and played many games at the dining table (seats 4). The neighborhood was quiet but there is quite a bit of through traffic but it wasn’t a problem at all. We had everything we needed and much more for above stay. A few other places we visited in the area includes: Boone County Arboretum, Big Bone Lick State Park, Peace, Love and Mini Donuts, Hansie Flip Burger.

Adorable house!
I booked this house based on location to Ark, and reviews from others - was exactly as expected! Beautiful touches in a well maintained and well stocked house. Loved the Christmas touches all through the house. I was told I’m now in charge of all our trips, meeting up with family. Would definitely recommend this rental, so relaxing & cozy, it was a great meet up with family, we sat and talked for hours each night by the Christmas tree all lite up. Thank you for the wonderful fellowship your home allowed.

Ark trip
Our stay was convenient to the Ark Encounter and only about an hour's drive to the Creation Museum. We saw 2 concerts at the Ark as part of the 40 days and 40 nights Christian Cocert Series. We loved the house in downtown Williamstown. A nicely remodeled home with modern furnishings and everthing that we needed. We would definitely stay here again. Thanks for allowing us to stay.
