We had an amazing stay at this cottage! It was clean, cozy, and exactly what we were hoping for. The space was well taken care of and felt comfortable from the moment we walked in. Everything we needed was there, and it was easy to relax and feel at home.The location was great — peaceful and quiet, and only 3-4 minutes away from Noah Ark.Overall, it was a great experience, and we would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable getaway

Incredible home for our family - beds and pillows were comfortable, my kids (7,9,11) loved the basement and it was great for them to have a space to play! The parking was so easy, it was just down the road from the Ark! Plan to bring breakfast foods, most places seem to open at 10 or 11! The house has everything we needed, including coffee and creamer.

The place itself was very good. All that was advertised was there. There is not a lot to do in the area except for the ARC, which is why we went. Recommend doing better planning than we did to keep yourself busy. But it was a bucket list item so we were pleased.

The cottage was perfect for my young 3,4 & 6 year old grandsons with the play areas and bunk bed system. The back porch was comfortable for morning and evening relaxation. Extremely close to the Ark Encounter and the Williamstown downtown was wonderful with the best Pizza Opa’s pizza and Ice cream shop near by. All easily to walk too from the cottage. The cottage had everything we needed and it was well stocked for what you need for your stay.

Nicely appointed cottage!

We had a great stay, our kids loved the game room in the basement! Thoughtful touches throughout for the kids which we appreciate as parents of 3 kids ages 10, 8 & 5. The bunk bed slide was a a big hit! Williamstown is a cute little town and it was nice to be so close to the Ark Encounter highly recommend Lilly’s cottage!

Nice and comfortable

We liked the property, I should say Wanda loved it,, but because of are age the railing on both sides would have been helpful, going up to master bedroom. We spent a lot of time on the deck. All the furnishings were very comfortable.

The house was older but relatively comfortable with updates. There was some problems with doors closing and a nail was sticking up out of a floor board.

Response from VrboOwner on 26 July 2025
Hi Bryian, we apologize that you found a nail sticking up somewhere in the cottage. We appreciate when guests notify us of any issues during their stay, so we can respond promptly and fix any issues they may encounter. We regret that we were not notified of this, so we could fix this during your stay. We strive to provide the most comfortable and enjoyable experience for our guests. We want you to feel like you are at home. As for the cottage being older, Lilly's Cottage was built in the 1940s, so its design is reminiscent of that era. Most all homes in Williamstown were built in the 1940s or older. We appreciate this as it is part of the charm of Williamstown.

The property was nicely decorated. We are not used to stiff doors & creepy floors. The 2nd bathroom was helpful. Too hot to sit outside but was inviting. The railing going upstairs was sticky. The lighting fixtures were cute. Overall not bad I realize it’s an old house.

Quiet and Quaint

Excellent place to stay. Super quiet neighborhood and close to The Ark and to places to eat. Home is super clean and they furnish all you need. We loved sitting on the covered porch every morning and having breakfast and then winding down the day there. The owners were very responsive to any questions we had. They have everything for all ages. When we come back we will stay here again and will be recommending it to our friends and family.

Charming home perfect for a family getaway.

We booked Lilly’s Cottage because of its proximity to The Creation Museum (40 min) and The Ark Encounter (5 min). The slide bed and reading nook were great for our 4 year old and 9 year old. The basement game room was also a nice escape for tge older boys. The highlight was definitely the swing on the back deck; perfect for relaxing after walking all day. Very satisfied!
