Nice little house.
This is a nice little house, just a few miles from the Ark. The only reason I rated at four stars instead of five is that the shower curtain has orange mold at the bottom, and what appears to be boogers crusted on the inside. Everything else was nice and clean. Plenty of towels and comfortable beds. This was a pleasant place for me and my family while we enjoyed The Ark and Williamstown.

The Burnett’s
The house was just as listed. I was surprised that it was supplied with everything we needed (paper towels/toilet paper/soap/shampoo/ EVERYTHING! Our gps took us the wrong way and I called the property manager and she stayed on the phone with me and walked us through directions until we pulled into the driveway. Loved the porch and the fact it was so close to the Ark Encounter.

Family Friendly
Comfortable, clean, and quiet! This home fits the whole family and is 3 minutes to the Ark, and 10-15 minutes to the local Walmart! It was a home away from home!
The location was perfect. A short drive down to the Ark Encounter. Love the BBQ and ate dinner on the deck.

Location could not be batter
An older property, the house has slope inside in two different directions.
Multiple spiders inside the property.
Those were the only negatives.
Positives, location for the Ark Encounter could not be better, the kitchen is very well appointed with everything needed.
Privacy was excellent and the kids (teens) loved the fireflies.
The dehumidifier was very nice to have.
UNO was fun, a few more games might be nice, but that could be hard to do.
Communication was excellent with the hostess. I think we are all used to hotels and taking out the trash might have been a bit of a surprise responsibly, just for us.

Great stay very near to the Ark
This house is about a mile from the Ark so it is very convenient. The house has 3 bedrooms and 1 bath. The beds were comfortable. The bathroom met our needs but it would have been nice to have another half or full bath. The living room and kitchen had plenty of space and the table was nice to play games on. We commend the follow places to eat: Mexican restaurant next to Ark, Edwardo Pizza, Cattleman’s Roadhouse and The Bean. The host of the house was very responsive and helpful. We would recommend this house and would stay again if we come back to the Ark.
