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.

    A very nice place. We loved the personal touches and we felt right at home. All of the roooms were decorated for Christmas and it was meticulously clean. If we go back to Williamstown, I dont think we will be satisfied if we aren't able to stay in this little house again.

    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.

    Top 3 favorite places I’ve stayed! We love places with historic charm and this space was amazing! It had everything we needed and then some. It was a 5 minute drive to the Ark so it was easy to come and go. We cooked all of our meals in the well appointed kitchen. The downstairs bedrooms were a little chilly but with an extra blanket it was fine. I was worried about the train at night based on other reviews but only my DIL in the queen room even heard it. We appreciated and enjoyed the complimentary drinks and snacks. 10/10 recommend for families with small children (10 mos & 2.5 years) and we will definitely stay again when we come back to the Ark. The attention to detail to make it feel like home was wonderful, they literally thought of everything! Thanks for an amazing stay!

    The property was in a very nice and friendly neighborhood. All the neighbors waved going by as we sat outside. The house was clean and stocked with everything we needed plus some extra goodies. Communication with the property owners/manager was great. If I had questions they gave a prompt response. The property was very close to the Ark encounter which is why we selected the property. Very pleased overall. Thanks for everything!

    We stayed here for 5 nights to go to a conference at the ark. It was super clean, and perfect for our family of 6. The only downside was there isnt much cabinet space to put food you might bring but we made it work and didnt detract from us enjoying the stay

    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!
