JC’s Cottage is less than 5 minutes from The Ark Encounter!

JC’s Cottage is safely nestled in the heart of WILLIAMSTOWN only 5 minutes from The Ark Encounter & a short drive to The Creation Museum. We are located in the Golden Triangle! It’s an easy drive to Cincinnati, Lexington or Louisville! JC’s Cottage has been newly remodeled and has been a labor of love for our family. Relax after a day of site seeing in the area. JC’s is located 1 min from downtown WILLIAMSTOWN where you will find restaurants and shopping. Close to the Bourbon Trail, too! We do have a "Blink" camera installed on the front porch next to outdoor light, which is next to the front door.
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a coffee maker, an ironing board, and a kitchen island.

The property was just as described. It's close to many great places to visit and eat, yet offers the serenity of a quiet neighborhood. The hosts provided all the basic necessities plus extras like a fully stocked coffee bar and spices that were especially great with breakfast foods. We'd definitely visit again.
