Family Reunion

We stayed here for a family reunion and toured the Ark for my mom’s 80th birthday. With a large group of people who traveled from many states away, it was especially nice to have 2 kitchens. From the teenagers on up, everyone had a good time. The house was nice, clean, and the A/C was cold even in hot July. Thank you!

We had a great time at the house. It was enough space for all of us to relax, cook and play games. We didn’t get to use the hot tub or fire pit because it was took cold and rainy. But all and all great stay!

Wonderful Trip

The Mayor's house was a perfect place for our family trip to visit the Ark Encounter and the Creation Museum. Host communication was great and attentive to our needs. The home was very roomy and stocked well. It is a historic home so not modern. I loved the character the home had from its long history. There is more than plenty of room for 18 people. We had 10 adults and 3 children. The children's play room was perfect along with the foosball table, ping pong table and hot tub giving us much entertainment and fun. The location was in a quaint neighborhood near downtown easily able to walk to town. Hansie Flip Burger and the Kentucky Y'All Icebox Ice cream shop were both great and inviting. We truly had the best time.

Great Location for visiting The Ark and the Creation Museum.

We loved the quaintness of the town and the home. Home was big enough for our big family and 2 1/2 baths was a plus for us as well. We enjoyed our stay!

Great place to stay when visiting the Ark Encounter. Less than a 10 min drive. House located in the small town of Williamstown. Located close to the towns ice cream shop. The grandkids enjoyed the game room, and playing ping pong. The player piano was unique. Everyone sat down and pretended they could play.

Great Family Stay -Close to Ark

The home is amazing for a large family stay. Had a few hiccups, however the owners came to fix the issues. Hot tub did not work, but they really put every effort to get it to work. About 15 min from the Ark. Would defin stay there again and highly recommend! Great amount of space for parking as we brought our 32ft motorhome and had no issues parking with plenty of room.

Family vacation to see the Ark

We had three different families staying in the house with a variety of ages. The house suited our needs very well. The house was very clean when we arrived. Everyone had a place to sleep, however, some of the beds were more comfortable than others. We didn’t get an email prior to the start of the stay, but Justin was very responsive and check in was super simple. We stayed in this area for the main attraction of the Ark encounter. We were minutes from the parking lot. There are not many other things to do in Williamstown though and most things in the town were shut down for the days we were in town. We were able to visit some nearby towns for day trips.
