Sweet little lake cottage
This was the cutest little cottage. It doesn’t look like much when you pull up to the front, but as soon as you step inside, it’s beautifully decorated, attention to each detail and you will find all the essentials you need for your stay! The hosts have done a great job here. We thoroughly enjoyed our time!

Ark trip
The home itself it beautiful and was very peaceful. One downfall was A LOT of spiders in the home! The home was clean but definitely doesn't get deep cleaned. Webs all over in the corners of rooms and bathrooms with quite a few spiders. We had to go around cleaning because my younger daughter was scared to go to sleep. Also, we were looking forward to the lake but this home is not situated in a nice area to swim at all. Very run down dock and gross water. Again TONS of spiders covering the stairs and broken dock because the area is not kept up. Such a shame because if they took some time to fix their dock , clear some brush and make it nice it would be perfect.

Nice cottage
This cottage is nettled along the lake with a bunch of other homes. The road in is rather rough but manageable. The house itself was clean and nicely decorated. It has a bit of an odd layout but definitely workable. It's convenient to lots of businesses. Everything was in working order.

Sibling Trip 2023 Ark Encounter
It was late at night when we arrived. Originally it was difficult to locate, but after that it was fine. Maybe something, a sign, a colored post, something that stands out to “mark” the location visibly. Extremely clean, loved the decor “beach”, wish the fireplace was working, it had candles, thought there might be a few more items, foils, bags, etc…but stores were close. But really enjoyed our stay. Contacted owners a couple of times and they were quick to respond. Visited the Ark, Creation Museum, Belgium Waffle House in Cincinnati, Buffalo Trace factory, lots of quality time with mom and siblings.

Even though the property was isolated, the home was perfect. Very clean and nicely decorated. Beautiful view of the lake. Whoever supplied the home thought of everything…it was like being in my own home. Does the owner have any more VRBO’s…we will go to any of their places!!

Restful and Clean
Great property. Nice house. Very modern and relaxing. The house was clean, up-to-date, and nicely stocked. Owners provided nice extras like towels, coffee, sheets, kitchen gadgets, and more. The screened sun porch was beautiful, and we enjoyed resting out there. 8 of us stayed and the house was very comfortable for us. We did not feel crowded. Highly recommend! The owners were very responsive to our questions. The only note I would add is there we did not feel like the lake was swimmable. There was nowhere to enter the lake other than jumping off the dock, but there was no way to get out after that unless we used the neighbor's ladder which we were not comfortable using their dock without permission. It was also very rocky. Watersports would have been fine though.

Hidden gem
The house and property were very accommodating for our group of 8. The purpose of our trip was to visit the Ark facility and this house provided the perfect, near-by accommodation. The property was clean, well furnished and cozy. The driveway, road to get to the property and the parking area are definitely tricky. Be prepared for some steep areas, muddy areas and tight squeezes, but they’re all manageable and bring you to this peaceful home.

A blessed time at Williamstown Lake property
This property is beautiful on the Williamstown Lake. The interior of the home is gorgeous and was just right for two couples and four children. Hanging out on the back deck for many of the meals was so pleasant, especially with the view of the lake. Highly recommended. Very convenient getting to WalMart and other stores and restaurants. We went from the house to the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum. The only disappointment was that there was an algae bloom in the lake, so we couldn't swim off of the dock. I don't know if this is a seasonal issue.
