This was a wonderful home and we would highly recommend! We had 2 families (4 adults and 7 children) and had plenty of space to spread out inside and out! The house is well-stocked. The kitchen feels like you are at home - nothing is missing! Top of the line appliances, quality dishes, pans, bakeware, serve ware, etc. The living space was ample and made it great for everyone to spread out and enjoy different activities. The arcade game kept the kids busy, as did fishing off the dock! The area was quiet and private. Communication with the hosts was proactive, prompt, and clear. We really enjoyed our stay!

This home is amazing! Very accurate description, very clean and a wonderful property over all. We traveled from Mass and our other son and family traveled from Oklahoma and met at the home. The loft bedroom was a huge hit for our grandchildren (10) as they all slept there between the four queen beds and a couple of small cots we brought. There was so much space to spread out and enjoy each others company. Beds were extremely comfortable, and were provided with plenty of linens and towels.Unfortunately, we didn’t have a chance to use the jetted tub or the fire pit, but everything was provided if we did choose too!We loved fishing off the dock, swimming and some collected a couple of shells. Only one minor issue as the keurig didn’t work and we weren’t sure how to use the gas oven as we all have electric (lol, felt silly). I messaged the owners and not only did Nick come out the next morning to show us, but Nancy dropped off a brand new Keurig and a container of brownies. They were both very attentive to our needs and I would highly recommend this home!We did visit the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum which are both very close by. I would also recommend you check out Ella Mae’s Sundaes shop! Thank you so much Nick and Nancy for an unforgettable Cousins Kentucky Adventure
Fishing all day!

We had a great time! Nancy was very responsive to all my questions and even took time out of her Labor Day weekend to stop by and help us. She was so helpful. The house is in a great location, close to the marina and boat ramp. We brought 2 boats on the trip and there was plenty of space to park. The view was great. The water was a little rough, but to be expected on Labor Day weekend on any lake. The house is very spacious. I would definitely recommend this house to anyone looking to spend time on Williamstown Lake.

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!
