We really enjoyed our stay. Everything was clean and the house smelled great. The kids loved the game room. The house was stocked with everything we needed for our stay. We will definitely stay here again when we are in the area!
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!

Cute little property right near the Ark Encounter. Has all the amenities for small children. Owners respond quickly and took care of everything we needed. Quiet, quaint area.
The Cottage was very clean, tidy, and welcoming. The host graciously allowed us to adjust day and time of our arrival. The games downstairs kept the children engaged, and the living room was comfortable for relaxing in the evening. The kids loved the bunk beds with the slide and the little reading room located off of the bedroom. All in all, it was a wonderful time away.
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.
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!
Loved our stay! Exceptionally clean! Host thought of everything right down to black washcloth for makeup removing and offered so many things from gates, dog bed, comfortable seating for relaxing. A very nice couple of days for us while we visited the Ark Experience. Not much else to do in the area Including dining but overall a great experience. Thank you!
This home was perfect for our family. In the basement were games, pool table, air hockey, pingpong, and a basket ball shot game. My boys were never bored! Only needed to buy groceries because the kitchen was well stocked for cooking. They had black makeup towels which I really appreciate not having to bring disposable makeup remover wipes.The hosts were very sweet and answered any questions quickly.
The property was just fantastic. Very clean and setup for great family time. The only thing that could be changed is we have a family with allergies & asthma and all the scented plug ins caused us problems but did it slow us down any, no! We had to unplug but not a problem. Thank you for putting so much love into your beautiful home. Homeschooling is amazing by the way.
This home is 5 minutes from The Ark in a quiet neighborhood. The beds were so comfortable and I slept better than I do at home. Our kids are older so 2 slept in the bunk room & our youngest slept well on the sofa. Had our other son joined us, he could have slept on the sofa bed. The kitchen offered plenty of space for cooking and the dining room for eating or playing a game. The kids & I enjoyed the basketball, ping pong, air hockey, and pool table in the basement. The back porch is large and a great spot to enjoy a cup of coffee while listening to the birds. My husband appreciated having a grill for his steaks. Last but not least, the large area for parking was crucial bc we haul a trailer and were able to park everything. We had a wonderful stay and would definitely stay here again!
We loved spending our family getaway at Lily's Cottage! We stayed for 3 nights with our 5 young children (all under 7 years old) during our visit to the Ark Encounter.
The home is very kid-friendly, cozy, and well-stocked. I loved having my coffee on the porch swing each morning, overlooking a peaceful, wooded valley.
We appreciated that cabinets and closets were clearly labeled so we could easily find our amenities.
The kids' room (bunk bed SLIDE!!!) and reading nook closet was a HUGE hit with our kids. We spent hours playing in the game-filled basement. These hosts have thought of everything! Jessica & Hollie are extremely kind, helpful, and very easy to communicate with. Thank you for a lovely time!
My husband and I had the pleasure of staying at this cottage. From the moment you book your reservation everything is communicated to you.
When we arrived we were pleasantly surprised with all of the thoughtful amenities. My husband was especially thankful for the wireless charges for his phone next to the bed as he forgot his charger and mine did not fit.
This home truly was the perfect stay for my husband and I, along with our dog Maverick. The location was perfect for his walks throughout the day and it was an easy walk to the downtown shops.
The Ark Encounter was an easy drive from the house as well as the Creation Museum. This was truly the perfect stay for our 31st Anniversary and birthday!! We look forward to visiting again when the weather is a little warmer.
We had the best time staying here. The kids loved the basement with all the games. Our pup loved running up and down the stairs. We had everything we needed. We had a little issue with the kids bedroom light, Jess responded immediately and got it fixed. Our only suggestions are the master bedroom bed could use a pillow top so something to make the bed a little more soft. Also maybe provide one set of dark towels and bedding incase someone gets their monthly visit. My daughter did and it was a little dramatic (she’s 14) but we made the best of it. We will definitely be back. They want to move to Kentucky 😂
We really enjoyed our stay at Lilly's cottage! Everything was exactly as described and was very close the to Ark Encounter. Would definitely stay again!
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.
We loved the place and it located perfectly to all we wanted to see and do. The host was friendly and checked in with us to make sure everything was good and see if we needed anything. Very happy with our stay.
We loved our stay! Our kids are 5, 8, and 12 and they all enjoyed the house. My husband and I agreed we felt like we were at home. Definitely recommend!
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.
