Quiet stay minutes from the Ark

We loved this house! The hosts did a great job making it feel like home. Kitchen is well stocked. Beds are comfortable. Backyard isn't fenced in/private, but there are a few privacy areas if you want to enjoy the fire pit.

Love this home!

It was such a beautiful, cozy home that was perfect for our trip! It was spotless and you could tell it had been completely remodeled! We enjoyed the little details and you could feel the love poured into it! Excellent location right off I-75 and so close to the Ark Encounter! We would definitely stay here again!

Wow! What a great place to stay for our visit to the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum. These hosts really have prepared the cottage to truly be a home away from home. Everything was super clean and fresh. The upstairs loft for the kids was perfect. Also, the hosts are excellent with communication and incredibly helpful. 10 out of 10 would highly recommend and stay here again.

Our stay included 5 60 ladies. Beautiful, clean home in a safe and convenient location to the Ark and quaint downtown Williamstown. The bedroom # 3 photos need updating. It says 2 twins in a loft, but was not as pictured. That room would better suit children than adults as the ceiling height is very limited. Otherwise we were quite satisfied.
