We enjoyed our quick stay after being in a hotel at a conference for a few days. It was cozy, welcoming and peaceful. We liked being on the outskirts, and enjoyed the short drive to the main street area with restaurants, ice cream and shops. It is very close to the ark too!

Pleasant, clean, simple. Pretty location uphill from Williamstown Lake, though it was too cold to sit out on the deck and enjoy the view. We couldn't get the streaming services to work on the TV so we played Jenga.

It’s a nice and peaceful neighborhood with a down-home country feel. We felt right at home. The beds were really comfortable. The only complaint was the shower was a bit small. But other than that, our stay was wonderful very easy. Check in and check out.

The house was very cute and very clean. It had everything we needed for an extended weekend. The view of the lake was nice -- I wish we were not there in December so we could have enjoyed the fire pit. The only negative was there needs to be more outside lighting. We had to use our cell phones flashlight to get to the front door. Other than that we had an amazing stay.

We loved staying. The house is so cute and clean. Cozy atmosphere and the host has everything you need all the way down to a binder with everything around you. I found that a super bonus especially with kids. Got to see some deer and a bunny out in the fields. We will be back again.
