So close to Ark, Quick Drive to Creation, King Bed, Stunning back yard, & Cable

My husband and I purchased this house in 2015 and have completely restored it. Built in 1915 this house served as a collection point for visitors traveling to Cynthinia KY. Our goal in renovating this house was to keep it as original as possible. The mantel, stairs, and the floors are original while everything else is in the house is new. The house is located close to Downtown Williamstown and less then 1.7 miles to the Ark. My husband and I live 3 houses down would love to come and meet you.
My dad is the Mayor of Williamstown and has worked with the Ark Encounter through its construction and opening phases. He would be glad to talk to you about the Ark if you had any questions.

If you need two houses for your family or group we also have another vacation rental. Check out Noah's House (The house with the red kitchen cabinets!)

Perfect location for the Ark

The Tollhouse was a perfect place for our family of 6 to stay for a long weekend to attend a conference at the Ark Encounter. The house was extremely clean and cozy, and we could tell the owners cared about our stay with fun little extras. Thank you for making our family feel welcome and "at home."

Ark trip

Our stay was convenient to the Ark Encounter and only about an hour's drive to the Creation Museum. We saw 2 concerts at the Ark as part of the 40 days and 40 nights Christian Cocert Series. We loved the house in downtown Williamstown. A nicely remodeled home with modern furnishings and everthing that we needed. We would definitely stay here again. Thanks for allowing us to stay.

Adorable house!

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.

The property was in a very nice and friendly neighborhood. All the neighbors waved going by as we sat outside. The house was clean and stocked with everything we needed plus some extra goodies. Communication with the property owners/manager was great. If I had questions they gave a prompt response. The property was very close to the Ark encounter which is why we selected the property. Very pleased overall. Thanks for everything!

Awesome little house

We stayed here for 5 nights to go to a conference at the ark. It was super clean, and perfect for our family of 6. The only downside was there isnt much cabinet space to put food you might bring but we made it work and didnt detract from us enjoying the stay

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!

Excellent Experience

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!
