Very large home with more than enough room for our large family to prepare and rest. The kitchen was very functional. The dining room had space for us all to sit and chat together. Our excellent host was super responsive when we had questions.

The Williams House was perfectly clean when we got there and the bedrooms were all beautiful and comfortable. We enjoyed having plenty of space for our large family and appreciated Andrew setting out a pack n’ play and high chair for our youngest to use. The kids loved feeding the fish in the fish pond! The host was incredibly helpful and we felt fully at home during our stay. Highly recommend!

Wonderful holiday weekend

This property is amazing. The host was extremely accommodating and the house was perfect. We needed somewhere to get together as a family for Easter and this property was exactly what we needed. We had an Easter egg hunt in the back patio area and Easter dinner at the huge dining room table. We could not have asked for a better experience.

The house is very pretty. It has plenty of space for a big family. We came from Florida for a wedding. The property manager was kind enough to let us check in early. He was very kind and helpful. The outside space was very relaxing. My grandson enjoyed feeding the fish. We felt right at home. Every room has a king size bed. Very clean. Super find!

What a wonderful experience to step back in time to an authentic Victorian home with museum quality antiques alongside modern amenities. It provided a wonderful respite for our family while attending a funeral. Andrew was phenomenal to work with and is an excellent host. He provides an abundance of information on the area and truly promotes Oil City and the region. We're looking forward to returning again!

Williams House Review

Nicest private home we have ever stayed in. Tastefully restored elegant Victorian home with all modern amenities. Historical connection to the region helps make it even more special. Private large garden and patio area is lovely. We only used three of the six bedrooms most which have very comfortable king sized beds. Great place for larger groups to stay and relax.
