Charming Restored 1915 Home – Less Than 2 Miles from the Ark Encounter
Welcome to our beautifully restored 1915 home! My husband and I purchased this house in 2015 and lovingly brought it back to life while preserving as much of its original character as possible. Once a gathering place for travelers heading to Cynthiana, Kentucky, this historic home now offers the perfect blend of timeless charm and modern comfort.
We carefully preserved the original hardwood floors, staircase, and fireplace mantel, while updating everything else to provide a clean, comfortable, and relaxing stay.
Conveniently located just minutes from downtown Williamstown and less than 1.7 miles from the Ark Encounter, our home is the perfect place for families, couples, and groups visiting the area.

Only got to stay one of my nights, which was disappointing. It was a very welcoming place and we had a good night there! Nice a close to the Ark for our conference!
My wife and I were very pleased with our experience at this property. It was perfect for our family and the owners were great to work with! No complaints from us!
Wonderful Place to Stay for a Family Visiting the Ark!
This place was perfect for our needs! It was a great place for a family gathering. They went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we might need - board games, condiments, coffee, reusable K-cups, spices, cooking utensils, even snacks and drinks! It was such a cozy place and we loved hearing the birds sing in the morning! We'd definitely recommend staying here!
We loved our stay!! The quaint 1915 house was very comfortable and the host left snacks, drinks, and coffee which we enjoyed. It was very close to The Ark Encounter and we would definitely recommend this anyone looking for a place to stay.
Cozy, clean and nice neighborhood. Close to local restaurants, and for anyone who's looking for someplace close to the Ark you are literally a stone's throw away.
We had a great stay at this unique, renovated old home! It was clean, well-supplied, and just down the road from the Ark Encounter. The hosts had decorated it in a wonderful way, and we felt very much at home. Would highly recommend to anyone coming to this area.
We enjoyed our stay while visiting the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum. The only suggestion I have is adding grab bars for the shower for older citizens safety while getting in and out. Thank you for hosting.
Small clean home, easy to find and good amenities.
We really enjoyed our stay! We were impressed with the cleanliness of the home. Definitely appreciated the amenities like water and coffee plus snacks. Plenty of towels were provided along with extra blankets. The shower had a dispenser with shampoo, conditioner and bodywash. The AC worked wonderfully, I especially appreciated it. The house is small and cozy. I will definitely recommend it to my family and friends.
House was cozy, clean and close to ak.
Just smaller than expecting. Dining table great for 4 but not 6. Bedding, towels, kitchen supplies very clean and more than adequate. Would recommend for a couple or maybe 2 couples but not for the 5th /6th person. Responsive host/hostesshost/hostess
I booked this house based on location to Ark, and reviews from others - was exactly as expected! Beautiful touches in a well maintained and well stocked house. Loved the Christmas touches all through the house. I was told I’m now in charge of all our trips, meeting up with family. Would definitely recommend this rental, so relaxing & cozy, it was a great meet up with family, we sat and talked for hours each night by the Christmas tree all lite up. Thank you for the wonderful fellowship your home allowed.
My sisters and I stayed at this home when we visited the Ark Encounter, Creation Museum and some other local places. We loved the location and the home was comfy and cozy, perfect for the three of us. The kitchen was well equipped and the beds were comfortable. We ate several meals and played many games at the dining table (seats 4). The neighborhood was quiet but there is quite a bit of through traffic but it wasn’t a problem at all. We had everything we needed and much more for above stay.
A few other places we visited in the area includes: Boone County Arboretum, Big Bone Lick State Park, Peace, Love and Mini Donuts, Hansie Flip Burger.
This place was perfect for what we needed! It was a great home base, and had a welcoming feel to it. The children loved it the moment we arrived! They had fun running up and down the beautiful lush green rolling hills in the back yard. It was so close to the ark that we were able to pop home for lunch and then go back again for the afternoon. Two of the bedrooms were on the lower level of a walkout basement and the kids were not scared and didn't mind. I believe this was due to the open concept type access to the lower level. The dining area is cozy as there were 7 of us, so we did have to turn the table sideways and were happy to find 2 fold up chairs in the MB closet for all of us to fit around the table, there was another spare cushioned chair in the bedroom if there had been 8 of us. It was great that everyone had a spot to go and just relax on their own instead of being cooped up in a hotel room. The house was close to downtown and some of us were able to walk there to look at a few of the shops. We also enjoyed playing board games at the table in the evening! We had brought some, but also found a few more in the bench by the front door! Thank you Ashley & Todd, you're home is lovely! We truly enjoyed our stay!
This was a perfect place for what my group needed! The hosts were amazing! Definitely would recommend this place if you are needing a place close to the Ark Encounter!
