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!!

Sunset
Loved the house, very quiet neighborhood, easy check in. Would stay there again if we were ever back in the area. The only reason I gave four stars on the description is I didn’t see that the 3rd bedroom was upstairs and we had a person that couldn’t climb stairs. Rearranging rooms were a little difficult at first.

Perfect for visiting the Ark Encounter
Perfect little house for visiting the Ark Encounter, which is just a couple of miles away. House was very clean and had all of the essentials we needed for our 4 night stay. Our 12 year old son really enjoyed the loft area. Owners are right next door, which adds to the comfort. Would highly recommend.

Best VRBO ever!
This is this prettiest, best kept VRBO we’ve stayed at. The home itself is very well kept, very clean and perfect for families going to see the Ark Encounter and/or the Creation Museum! We loved our stay here and would definitely recommend it!
