We went to Kentucky to visit the Ark. Great location. The house was as advertised. Problems were the hot tub had spaghetti noodles in the bottom so it was not cleaned properly. The water was so hoy we couldn't get in it after it was cleaned. There were mouse droppings in the kitchen so we bought mouse traps and caught 3. My son left his prescription glasses there and we have been asking for weeks if they found them. The owner keeps messaging the property manager and they do not answer him. The owner was very nice and followed thru with communications but the cleaners and property manager dropped the ball.

Family Reunion

We stayed here for a family reunion and toured the Ark for my mom’s 80th birthday. With a large group of people who traveled from many states away, it was especially nice to have 2 kitchens. From the teenagers on up, everyone had a good time. The house was nice, clean, and the A/C was cold even in hot July. Thank you!

Wonderful Trip

The Mayor's house was a perfect place for our family trip to visit the Ark Encounter and the Creation Museum. Host communication was great and attentive to our needs. The home was very roomy and stocked well. It is a historic home so not modern. I loved the character the home had from its long history. There is more than plenty of room for 18 people. We had 10 adults and 3 children. The children's play room was perfect along with the foosball table, ping pong table and hot tub giving us much entertainment and fun. The location was in a quaint neighborhood near downtown easily able to walk to town. Hansie Flip Burger and the Kentucky Y'All Icebox Ice cream shop were both great and inviting. We truly had the best time.

Great Location for visiting The Ark and the Creation Museum.

We loved the quaintness of the town and the home. Home was big enough for our big family and 2 1/2 baths was a plus for us as well. We enjoyed our stay!

Great place to stay when visiting the Ark Encounter. Less than a 10 min drive. House located in the small town of Williamstown. Located close to the towns ice cream shop. The grandkids enjoyed the game room, and playing ping pong. The player piano was unique. Everyone sat down and pretended they could play.
