# The LODGE! # - A Private Ranch Retreat only 10 miles to the ARK Encounter.

This memorable house is the perfect home base for your trip to Williamstown. Within minutes of the Ark Encounter. Guests will find three bedrooms featuring a mix of two queen beds and four bunk beds, offering plenty of space for everyone. The two bathrooms include both a bathtub and a shower, making it easy to refresh after a day of exploring. This quaint and charming house provides a nice balance of comfort and convenience. We're happy to assist with any questions while you stay at our home. The kitchen is spacious and will not disappoint.

This is an active working Whitetail Deer and Elk Conservation Ranch. We have miles of hiking trails, a stream for fishing and the most beautiful sunsets ever. For a small fee, and schedules permit, we offer a small tour with feeding of treats to Deer, Elk and Fallow. We also offer a more vast experience of trail rides on UTV's or ATV's if desired. This is truly a unique experience you will never forget.

The home sits back off the road in complete seclusion. The animals were gorgeous and we enjoyed watching the deer, elk and fallow! The home was much larger than expected! We had our family of 5 (two adult, three teens) along with my parents, my sister and her husband. There was something for everyone! The home was immaculately clean and stocked with amenities like yard chairs and card tables. Our only regret is not staying longer! Quick drive to food and the ark.

This was the BEST vrbo we’ve ever stayed in. It was immaculately clean, gorgeous property, secluded and very well stocked with everything your family would need to stay for a few days. The beds were comfortable, kitchen was huge, washer and dryer was an added bonus! WiFi worked well, close to Walmart and a Dollar General. We visited The Ark Encounter and Creation Museum while we were there and celebrated my daughter’s 13th birthday. The hosts were very responsive and so kind. We will definitely be coming back in the future. Highly recommend this place.

This was perfect for our families stay to visit the Ark Encounter. The host was very responsive and hospitable. We wanted somewhere private but yet not too far away and this fit. It is on a working ranch so there was people moving about but nothing that was at all disruptive. We enjoyed watching the elk and other wildlife. The children enjoyed the fire pit to roast some marshmallows. Having young children coming along, the layout and number of beds were a big reason for choosing this property as well and we weren't disappointed. A well equipped kitchen and plenty of refrigeration was awesome as we cooked several meals to save on eating out.It was a great place to stay I would recommend. It's especially good for larger families or several families.
