We had a great stay here. Plenty of room for our group, and everyone had their own space. We mostly swam off the dock and it was perfect for our young family. Owners were very responsive the whole stay.

This beautiful home was perfect for 3 families who were joining us for a family reunion! It's location on the lake is terrific - on the main channel, so the water is clean and clear. At the same time, the dock design provides a safe swimming area. The dock was well appointed and easily accommodated our pontoon boat. The home is beautiful! So many nice gathering spaces, a very well-appointed kitchen, and bedrooms/baths that were a perfect match with our group (6 adults, two college age kids, and two young children). The drive/parking area was so well-designed and convenient - so much easier than many homes on the lake. The hosts, Nancy and Nick, provided excellent information and instructions and were very responsive/flexible. We found it a delight to book and experience their beautiful home! The location is convenient to the marina, services, and local attractions such as Ark Encounter and the horse parks. Overall, a wonderful stay!

Wonderful house on Williamstown Lake

We gathered four generations of family to stay at this house. With bedrooms on three floors, we were able to spread out and accommodate varying nap times and bed times for young ones while continuing activities for adults. The walk down to the lake is rather steep, so a couple of our adults welcomed an escort for support, but it didn't stop anyone from enjoying the dock and swimming area. The boat lift was a great convenience and allowed quick storage of our boat. We also took advantage of the jet ski landings, so mooring a boat and two jet skis was a breeze. We had plenty of parking. Our hosts were prompt to answer any questions. Highly recommend!!

The way to do Williamstown Lake with a large group!

This was a great rental, inside and out. I’d own it if I could. We spent most of our time on the lake, hanging out at the dock, swimming, and using the pedal boat. The waverunner slip was perfect for our two jet skis. We ate dinners outside on the deck and enjoyed the games in the basement. Everyone slept great which is a true testament to the fun that was had along with comfortable beds. I enjoyed walking each morning in a loop around summer drive and having the free boat launch next door was very convenient. The house is in a busy area on the main channel, but that didn’t really impact our day, we love this lake! Owners were speedy communicators - thank you!

Beautiful home! Our family celebrated our mother's 70th birthday here. The fisherman of the family spent most of their time at the dock! While the children enjoyed paddle boating on the lake. The home is very spacious, beautifully decorated and well stocked with the essentials needed to accommodate our stay. The host was gracious and kind. Our big family unanimously agreed that this property is fantastic!

The house is located on the most beautiful, peaceful lake; it was just perfect for our family gathering. The teens and adults truly enjoyed it! There was so much space in the house that we never felt crowded. And the interior is so beautifully decorated. We would LOVE to stay here again! And it’s only 15 minutes from the Ark Encounter. Wonderful trip!!

Ark Encounter and the lake!!!!!

Stayed for 5 nights with 4 of our grandchildren. Great proximity to Ark Encounter. Wonderful home on a small lake. Home is not new, but has been remodeled. Very clean (and I’m OCD clean!), comfortable beds, all amenities. Had a couple of unforeseen issues that homeowners took care of immediately. Communication was always immediate. We would gladly stay in any property owned by Nick & Nancy. Williamstown is very small, so restaurants are limited. Be sure to try Beans (best sausage gravy and biscuits ever) and the great burgers at Hansie Flip Burgers.

A Perfect Family Christmas Getaway!

Our family recently had the pleasure of staying at this fantastic property, and it truly exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we stepped in, we were greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere. The house is not only updated with modern decor but also equipped with everything one could possibly need for a comfortable stay. The kitchen was incredibly well-equipped, making our meal preparations a breeze. If you're looking for a perfect place for a multi-family gathering, especially around the holidays, look no further. We couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate, and we are immensely grateful for the memories we created here. Highly recommend!

Most relaxing time!

The home was absolutely gorgeous! There are two bedrooms on the main level, each with a king bed. One was higher than the other which accommodated old knees. There was a large room upstairs that houses 4 full size beds with room to spare. Downstairs houses large room with 2 full size beds, for a total of 8 beds. The kitchen is awesome with a 6-burner gas stove and any accessories you need. There was even salt and pepper, cooking oil, ziplock baggies, sugar, and coffee. There’s an ice maker downstairs that makes pellet ice. The smart TVs were easy to consent to, to watch whatever we wanted to. The home is airy and spacious. The beds are soooo very comfortable. There are throws available in the living areas to curl up with. We were already making plans to come back with the rest of the family. Communication with the owners was very easy. We will definitely return! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lake house and our hosts were easy to work with and quick with communication. The home itself is beautiful and the property as well. There are large gathering spaces both in the dining area and a living room that has both couches and multiple tables where people can hang out, play cards/games, etc. If your group wants a "base of operations" to both visit the Ark and spend time together, I'd highly recommend this home!
