JC’s Cottage is less than 5 minutes from The Ark Encounter!

JC’s Cottage is safely nestled in the heart of WILLIAMSTOWN only 5 minutes from The Ark Encounter & a short drive to The Creation Museum. We are located in the Golden Triangle! It’s an easy drive to Cincinnati, Lexington or Louisville! JC’s Cottage has been newly remodeled and has been a labor of love for our family. Relax after a day of site seeing in the area. JC’s is located 1 min from downtown WILLIAMSTOWN where you will find restaurants and shopping. Close to the Bourbon Trail, too! We do have a "Blink" camera installed on the front porch next to outdoor light, which is next to the front door.

We loved our stay here! Super easy check in! Gina left the light on for us cause we checked in really late from travels! We stocked up at Walmart the next day. The beds were so big and comfy pillows. Kitchen was so cute and classy.

Our stay was cozy and comfortable. We especially appreciated the warmth and hospitality feeling in the home. Gina really thought about the smallest of details to make her guests feel welcome while preserving her grandmother’s memories around the home. Clean towels, spacious bathroom and comfortable beds. One of the best VRBO experience we’ve had. Perfect location to the Ark Encounter.

We loved this cottage, and it will be in our memories for so long, as a favorite. Communication with the host was easy and key! The community was lovely, and the places we visited were great, but the place you stay is everything! The beds were comfortable, the layout was great and it was decorated with great taste.

This is a great place to stay.

I can recommend this place to anyone who needs a place to stay in the area. The house is mostly set up for a handicap/ wheelchair accessible. But the home was very comfortable.
