Perfection!
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.

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!

A Fun Trip
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.

Perfection
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.

Kid-Friendly, Cozy Home away from Home!
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!

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!

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.

Abe Lincoln trip
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.

Great Home
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 😂
