About this property

See why everyone loves it here! 1.5 miles to Ark.

Please be sure to use correct occupancy when booking. The Sunset Cottage is a place you can relax and forget about everyday cares. As soon as you step through the front door you’ll be greeted by memories of staying with your grandparents. This place is meant to be your home away from home, not somewhere that is stark and sterile. Our guests consistently comment on how comfy, cozy, and clean the house is and how available we are when needed. Don’t spend another second looking… book here. You’ll love it too.

The house itself covers just over 1,100 square feet and sleeps 8 people. There is a queen sized bed in the master bedroom, 2 twin bunk beds in the spare bedroom, and a queen sized sofa sleeper in the living room. The mostly level yard is perfect for kids to play in or you can relax on the large covered front porch.
You will have full use of the house and yard EXCLUDING the basement, and shed.
Charles and Amy live within 2 miles and are never more than a text or phone call away.

Great location to the ark!
Great location for our family visit to the ark and creation museum. Lovely restful place and our kids enjoyed the big backyard and trees to play on and under. The listing on air b n b had washer and dryer available, but they weren't, so we had to use the local laundromat on stead. But the owner dropped off some rope for us to hang washing outside . Good communication and and response time from the owner and access to wifi in the house. Thanks for a dl laundromat

Wonderful!
This property is just as it is presented. The one thing that we really loved is the cleanliness of the home. The location was perfect as we were visiting the Creation Museum and the Ark. And it was like stepping back in time to my Nanny's house. Communication with Charles and Amy was excellent! I would definitely recommend this property to anyone.

GREAT!!!
This was my third stay a at this property. Fall of 2019, July 2024 and this stay: August 1-10. Asvolunteers at The ARK Encounter this place is totally perfect! Clean, close, pretty and very safe neighborhood. The little store just before your turn off for Sunset Drive and the Mexican Restaurant almost right beside The ARK were handy with good food and hours. Can hardly wait to return around this time next year!

Best Country stay in the City
Oh my birds greeted us, a squirrel had coffee with me (I was enjoying the quiet porch sitting), I went in to fix breakfast and a baby deer was in the backyard eating grass, & then our final day there 2 small baby jack rabbits were wishing us well on our trip as they ate grass & frolicked in the morning dew. Best stay ever!

Loved it!
This little cottage is exactly as you see in the description and that was a relief. This was my first experience with VRBO and was a little reluctant, but found out there was no need for that. We enjoyed it so much and there were so many things provided that we didn't even need to pack all we did. I especially LOVED the bed in the main bedroom, it was so comfortable, much more so than in my own home. We have nothing but good things to say about this home. Well worth every penny.

Road Trip
We were traveling from New Hampshire to Florida and wanted our two grandsons to see the Ark. I found the sunset cottage, which was close by and it was perfect for our two night stay. The boys loved the fact that there were games and puzzles and Amy and Charles thought of everything. It was a very comfortable stay.

In town to see the Ark!
Property was SO close to the Ark Encounter! It was great. We were able to come back to the house for some lunch and a break before going back for more! (Just make sure you keep your parking receipt and that you get wristbands before leaving the park and you can get right back in.)

Nostalgic Charming Cottage
Our stay here was amazing! The home was roomy and comfortable for us visiting the ark encounter. We loved the location and property the house was on. The kitchen was by far my favorite, it made me homesick for my grandma's home with the vintage table and pie safe. Thank you for opening up such a snuggly nook of Kentucky to our family!

The Chicken Farm
When my youngest was small he told his Pops his name was Farmer John and he farmed chickens down on the Strawberry River. (He was about 4 and had never been to or that we knew of even heard of the Strawberry River.). His Pops called him Farmer John a lot after that and my son still brings it up often. His Pops has since passed so on this trip when we passed the Strawberry River sign it brought up memories, but, after seeing that sign, pulling up to this old style farm house and walking in and seeing all the chicken deco was great for him! He said “welcome to Farmer John’s chicken farm”. The house was great and the neighborhood was perfect. No noise no traffic in and out of the subdivision other than those that belong. We had a very pleasant stay. The host were caring enough to call and check on us during the storms we were having, that was great of them! If we are ever back in the area again we will definitely hope to be lucky enough to stay at the “Chicken Farm’ again!

Like a welcome home hug!
We wanted a place to stay near our destination and thought this cottage would be convenient, but we underestimated how wonderful the lodging would be! The cozy living room was perfect for TV watching, and the kitchen table was a precious meeting place. Friendly neighbors and breathtaking views along with the soft creaking of the solid wood floors made for some precious memories!

Feel at Home in Sunset Cottage
Our stay at this lovely home was wonderful and cozy. A simple, homey place awaits you during your stay in Williamstown. We were 5 minutes down the road from the Ark Encounter, which was our main destination during our stay. We ate in for breakfast and dinner, which worked out just fine. Our two kids enjoyed the bunkbeds and pretended they were “pirate ships” the whole time. The cottage itself was clean and comfortable to sleep and live in. We had regular communication with the owners- very kind people and attentive to our needs. We would definitely stay here again!
