Pleasant, clean, simple. Pretty location uphill from Williamstown Lake, though it was too cold to sit out on the deck and enjoy the view. We couldn't get the streaming services to work on the TV so we played Jenga.

The house was very cute and very clean. It had everything we needed for an extended weekend. The view of the lake was nice -- I wish we were not there in December so we could have enjoyed the fire pit. The only negative was there needs to be more outside lighting. We had to use our cell phones flashlight to get to the front door. Other than that we had an amazing stay.

It’s a nice and peaceful neighborhood with a down-home country feel. We felt right at home. The beds were really comfortable. The only complaint was the shower was a bit small. But other than that, our stay was wonderful very easy. Check in and check out.

This cottage was absolutely adorable and so comfortable. Keisha has done an amazing job creating a peaceful and welcoming space. Hospitality was top notch. This is seriously one of the cleanest rentals we've ever stayed at. Our kids loved seeing the families of deer passing through the neighborhood.We needed to come a day early and Keisha was so accommodating. She was easy to reach and incredibly responsive. Even checked in to see how we were doing.It was a perfect homebase for visiting The Ark. After an entire day of exploring the park, this was so nice and comfy to come home to. I highly recommend this rental for your trip to Kentucky.

We had a very enjoyable stay here visiting the Ark, the Creation Museum, the Cincinnati Zoo, and more! The house was in a very cute and safe neighborhood. Communication with host was excellent. House was well stocked! My husband did have concerns about the state of the deck. He didn’t think it was up to code, and as a contractor, expressed that it needed a rehab for safety. The couch inside was also broken and had a piece of plywood holding it up.Overall house was cute, host was very nice, and we appreciated all of the God centered decor touches!

We enjoyed our quick stay after being in a hotel at a conference for a few days. It was cozy, welcoming and peaceful. We liked being on the outskirts, and enjoyed the short drive to the main street area with restaurants, ice cream and shops. It is very close to the ark too!

Adorable country place to stay

We loved staying. The house is so cute and clean. Cozy atmosphere and the host has everything you need all the way down to a binder with everything around you. I found that a super bonus especially with kids. Got to see some deer and a bunny out in the fields. We will be back again.

Immaculate accommodation near lake.

The house was immaculate, well stocked, comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen, nice deck, great communication with owner and in a nice neighborhood. We took a walk on the road behind the house and were able to have nice views of the lake. I would definitely stay here again.
