The property was awesome. It was a little different than I expected. I didn't realize that there was apartments above us too. All was good though and our stay was close to where we wanted to visit. Thank you!
Nice place, close to the Ark Encounter only about a mile away
Stayed in March, was still chilly out..... property is in an area being revitalized......super close to everything.....was very clean......outside could use a little sprucing up......but overall was a nice place and was very close to everything. Would definitely stay again
The condo wax well supplied with everything needed. Close to the Ark Experience and Walmart. We would choose this location again

If you want a quiet stay, read all reviews!
The apartment was very clean, almost sterile - not a very warm atmosphere. A well-stocked kitchen as far as equipment, but not much else. 4 keurig cups for 2 people staying 2 nights. As for sleeping, there was nothing in the listing about one of the beds being cheap memory foam - very uncomfortable, sinking in immediately, making it difficult to roll over. Very loud residents upstairs with little to no sound insulation - we heard very step taken and 12:30 am returning to their apt. Long, steep ramp from parking to front door - thankfully not slippery when there was frost! When we had trouble getting the door open, they responded quickly via text - I'm confident they would have helped, but we finally realized that we had to pull back on the door before the lock disengaged. Had I read about the noise issue, I would not have booked the lower apartment.
Place was clean and nice. The bed in one bed room was horrible. High in middle and low on both sides. Very noisy,could hear every foot step from room up above us.Need more noise barrier between upper and lower units.I would not rent lower units again.
The place is nice but is on 2nd floor we had to walk down steep ramp with no hand rails. Also, we had neighbors upstairs that were very loud until 10pm for 2 evenings. The walls literally shook at times.
The apartment we stayed in was great except for a few minor things and one major thing. For the minor, dirty towels were left in the washer, towel rack by the sink was falling out of the wall. For the major the whole apartment smelled of cigarette smoke. Thankfully there was some Febreeze that we could spray but it didn't take the smell away.
Another minor detail is if you are looking for somewhere quiet to stay this may not be your place. The walls and floors are paper thin and we could hear everything the upstairs guests were doing from showering to walking across the floor which they did non-stop.
Other than these things, the trip was great. We loved how close the Ark was. We had to drive out of our way for most things but not a big deal.
It was HOT! but what a great trip to see the Ark and Creation museum. Even rented a pontoon on the Williamstown lake. Loved our little apartment. Had everything we needed!~ Thank You!
We loved this little two bedroom apartment. It was easy to find, and very close to the Ark Encounter. The property manager was available and responded very quickly to a few minor things that came up. I would highly recommend this and will stay there again the next time we are in the area.
