JC’s Cottage is less than 5 minutes from The Ark Encounter!

JC’s Cottage is safely nestled in the heart of WILLIAMSTOWN only 5 minutes from The Ark Encounter & a short drive to The Creation Museum. We are located in the Golden Triangle! It’s an easy drive to Cincinnati, Lexington or Louisville! JC’s Cottage has been newly remodeled and has been a labor of love for our family. Relax after a day of site seeing in the area. JC’s is located 1 min from downtown WILLIAMSTOWN where you will find restaurants and shopping. Close to the Bourbon Trail, too! We do have a "Blink" camera installed on the front porch next to outdoor light, which is next to the front door.
