Fantastic stay. Cozy home, bigger than it seems from the outside. Comfortable beds, good sized kitchen and bathroom. Host was easy to communicate with. We arrived after dark and she offered to turn on lights in the home for our arrival. Good restaurants nearby. Super close to Ark Encounter and not far from a Walmart. Would stay again.

Wonderful place to stay.

We loved the house and the owner was so good to keep us informed of everything we needed to know. The house was so nice and everything was great. Would recommend this place highly and would use it again if I happened to need accommodations in that area.

We had a wonderful vacation. This is a perfect location for adventures to the Ark Encounter, Creation Museum and the Cincinnati Zoo. Accommodations were great - for our family only issue was we had to be prepared to share a bathroom with all five.

Wonderful Home!

Great place to stay in Williamstown! The house had plenty of room for 4 of us. We visited The Ark (5 min drive) and The Creation Museum (about 40 min drive). We enjoyed the front porch and game nights around the dining room table. Our host was great and ensured we had everything we needed to begin our stay! Thank you Gina!

Lovely stay

We had a lovely stay! The combination of a cozy porch for coffee and wine, along with a spacious interior created the perfect escape.Being in the heart of town while having a retreat-like feel was a great balance. Seeing the deer outback in the evenings was an added bonus.
