Wonderful place to stay. Super clean. The washer was out and we needed clothes washed for our week long stay, so Ms. Becky washed, dried and folded our clothes herself. What a host! So quick to respond, also. Definitely what we needed for our family and highly recommend.

Very cute house! It was impeccably clean. The beds were all comfortable, and we had more than enough supplies in the kitchen and bathroom, etc. It is in an easy-to-find location, and the wheelchair ramp was a nice touch. If you are going to the Ark, you are very close. Also, a short drive to Beans, which is a great spot for breakfast. We stayed with my grandmother, who needs a walker and a wheelchair. She got around easily in the house. Note: Bring a toilet riser and shower chair if you need the house to be completely handicap accessible. We would definitely stay here again.

Our family so enjoyed getting to come home to such a clean, relaxing country home after long days spent at the Ark and Creation museum. It was perfect for us and had little extra amenities that made a world of a difference to us (extra paper towels, trash bags, stocked coffee nook!!! Plenty of towels, etc.). And just a great location around the corner to the cutest little Main Street with pizza and ice cream and 4 minutes to the ark. We are so grateful we got to stay here. And so clean! Felt like we were the only ones who have stayed there. Also loved the sweet Ark decor and Bible verses and the quilted comforters! Thank you for such a great experience!

The place was as described. Clean, lots of extra blankets and bedding. There was one small issue...a charcoal grill was listed as a provided item and it was. However, it was in a shed with a wasp's nest. So it was hard to access and the grate on the grill did not fit properly, so grilling was difficult. Everything else was great and proximity to Ark is true, just a quick drive!

Your Story

We’re a family who loves creating welcoming spaces for others to enjoy. My husband and I purchased this home in 2015 and poured our hearts into restoring it while keeping its original charm intact. Hosting has become something we truly enjoy, especially now that our family has grown—we have a 4- and 6-year-old and five wonderful grandkids! Because of that, we understand how important it is to have a comfortable, family-friendly place to stay. We love knowing that our home can be a place where others make special memories together.

Why they chose this property

We chose this neighborhood because of its peaceful, small-town feel and its convenient location. It’s quiet and family-friendly, yet still just minutes from downtown Williamstown and the Ark Encounter. We love how easy it is to get around while still enjoying a relaxed setting where guests can unwind after a busy day of exploring. The area has a welcoming, community feel that makes it a great place to stay, whether you’re visiting for a short trip or a longer getaway.

What makes this property unique

What makes our home special is the combination of historic charm and modern comfort. Built in 1915, it still features original hardwood floors, a beautiful staircase, and a classic fireplace mantel, giving it a warm and timeless feel. At the same time, we’ve updated everything to ensure a clean, comfortable, and convenient stay. It’s also very family-friendly, with space for kids to play, multiple sleeping options, and thoughtful touches throughout. We’ve created a place that feels like home—whether you’re here for a quick visit or a longer stay.
