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.

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.

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.

We really enjoyed the house and the cool neighborhood. We did spend lots of time away visiting the Creation Museum and the Ark Encounter. Williamstown is a lovely town and we enjoyed just riding around in it. We found the people to be very hospitable. We loved "Beans"--delicious food!!!!! It was a great time! And we loved our home!

Ark Trip

This house should be the standard for every VRBO host. To say the house was immaculate woud be an understatement. Every bed was comfortabal with quality bedding. I have NEVER stayed at a house that actually had everything you needed and extra. For once the in person was better than the pictures. I wish every VRBO house was like this one. Thank you Stacey & Tammy!!
