Everything we needed was there, and it was easy to relax and feel at home.The location was great — peaceful and quiet, and only 3-4 minutes away from Noah Ark.Overall, it was a great experience, and we would definitely stay here again.

Incredible home for our family - beds and pillows were comfortable, my kids (7,9,11) loved the basement and it was great for them to have a space to play! The parking was so easy, it was just down the road from the Ark! Plan to bring breakfast foods, most places seem to open at 10 or 11! The house has everything we needed, including coffee and creamer.

The place itself was very good. All that was advertised was there. There is not a lot to do in the area except for the ARC, which is why we went. Recommend doing better planning than we did to keep yourself busy. But it was a bucket list item so we were pleased.

Nicely appointed cottage!

We had a great stay, our kids loved the game room in the basement! Thoughtful touches throughout for the kids which we appreciate as parents of 3 kids ages 10, 8 & 5. The bunk bed slide was a a big hit! Williamstown is a cute little town and it was nice to be so close to the Ark Encounter highly recommend Lilly’s cottage!

The cottage was perfect for my young 3,4 & 6 year old grandsons with the play areas and bunk bed system. The back porch was comfortable for morning and evening relaxation. Extremely close to the Ark Encounter and the Williamstown downtown was wonderful with the best Pizza Opa’s pizza and Ice cream shop near by. All easily to walk too from the cottage. The cottage had everything we needed and it was well stocked for what you need for your stay.

Nice and comfortable

We liked the property, I should say Wanda loved it,, but because of are age the railing on both sides would have been helpful, going up to master bedroom. We spent a lot of time on the deck. All the furnishings were very comfortable.

Quiet and Quaint

Excellent place to stay. Super quiet neighborhood and close to The Ark and to places to eat. Home is super clean and they furnish all you need. We loved sitting on the covered porch every morning and having breakfast and then winding down the day there. The owners were very responsive to any questions we had. They have everything for all ages. When we come back we will stay here again and will be recommending it to our friends and family.

Charming home perfect for a family getaway.

We booked Lilly’s Cottage because of its proximity to The Creation Museum (40 min) and The Ark Encounter (5 min). The slide bed and reading nook were great for our 4 year old and 9 year old. The basement game room was also a nice escape for tge older boys. The highlight was definitely the swing on the back deck; perfect for relaxing after walking all day. Very satisfied!
