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.

Relaxing weekend getaway
We had a chance to get away for a weekend to visit the Ark Encounter. This was a very clean homey house very close to the Ark. It was beautifully decorated and had everything we needed to be able to relax and enjoy the whole weekend. We would love to stay there again when we’re in the area. We didn’t want to leave!

Great updated and clean property
Property was very clean and spacious. Had all the amenities my husband and I needed. We did not stay at this location though. It was another property on Paris St in Williamstown. Host needed to change location due to unfortunate circumstances. Gina was incredible in locating and providing us a great alternative location!

Great time in Kentucky
4 of us stayed at JC Cottage to be close to the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum. It net our expectations and felt very much at home and cared for. We enjoyed a couple of local places to eat and relaxing in the cottage and on the deck. Other than a glitch with the shower we were very pleased with our stay.

Fabulous find!
We traveled with my parents ages 84 & 86 to see the ark, the creation museum and explore the beautiful rolling hills of Kentucky. JC’s cottage was the perfect fit for us! Easy off street parking with a walk up ramp/sidewalk/no steps, a walk in shower and comfortable furniture and king sized beds! Fantastic attention to detail! Would highly recommend this property!

Clean and cozy
The property manager was excellent about communicating how to enter the home prior to my stay and I was pleasantly surprised upon arriving, This cute cottage was very clean and much was added to support our comfort during our stay to include coffee, snacks, and ice. There were books available in the home that showed things to do in the area as well as clear rules prior to leaving in regards to clean up. (Simple rules like leaving all used beds unmade and used bath towels to be on the floor). Very close to The Ark Encounfer, which was the attraction that brought us to Kentucky.
