About this house rental
My husband and I purchased this house in 2015 and have completely restored it. Built in 1915 this house served as a collection point for visitors traveling to Cynthinia KY. Our goal in renovating this house was to keep it as original as possible. The mantel, stairs, and the floors are original while everything else is in the house is new. The house is located close to Downtown Williamstown and less then 1.7 miles to the Ark. My husband and I live 3 houses down would love to come and meet you.
My dad is the Mayor of Williamstown and has worked with the Ark Encounter through its construction and opening phases. He would be glad to talk to you about the Ark if you had any questions.
If you need two houses for your family or group we also have another vacation rental. Check out Noah's House (The house with the red kitchen cabinets!)

wonderfully old, quaint, modernized, cozy. The perfect place for my daughter and grand daughters to "hang" and spend quality time with each other. We cooked meals together, watched old "Leave it to Beaver" re-runs, tied a quilt, visited nearby The Ark (amazing!!) and an evening at the Stage Right Theater to watch "Footloose".
The beds were incredibly comfortable and the laundry facilities were very much appreciated. Also the shower had great pressure and was very enjoyable!
We would do it all over again!! Thank you so much!!!

We really enjoyed our stay! We were impressed with the cleanliness of the home. Definitely appreciated the amenities like water and coffee plus snacks. Plenty of towels were provided along with extra blankets. The shower had a dispenser with shampoo, conditioner and bodywash. The AC worked wonderfully, I especially appreciated it. The house is small and cozy. I will definitely recommend it to my family and friends.

We had a great stay at this unique, renovated old home! It was clean, well-supplied, and just down the road from the Ark Encounter. The hosts had decorated it in a wonderful way, and we felt very much at home. Would highly recommend to anyone coming to this area.

We enjoyed our stay while visiting the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum. The only suggestion I have is adding grab bars for the shower for older citizens safety while getting in and out. Thank you for hosting.

My sisters and I stayed at this home when we visited the Ark Encounter, Creation Museum and some other local places. We loved the location and the home was comfy and cozy, perfect for the three of us. The kitchen was well equipped and the beds were comfortable. We ate several meals and played many games at the dining table (seats 4). The neighborhood was quiet but there is quite a bit of through traffic but it wasn’t a problem at all. We had everything we needed and much more for above stay.
A few other places we visited in the area includes: Boone County Arboretum, Big Bone Lick State Park, Peace, Love and Mini Donuts, Hansie Flip Burger.

I booked this house based on location to Ark, and reviews from others - was exactly as expected! Beautiful touches in a well maintained and well stocked house. Loved the Christmas touches all through the house. I was told I’m now in charge of all our trips, meeting up with family. Would definitely recommend this rental, so relaxing & cozy, it was a great meet up with family, we sat and talked for hours each night by the Christmas tree all lite up. Thank you for the wonderful fellowship your home allowed.

Our stay was convenient to the Ark Encounter and only about an hour's drive to the Creation Museum. We saw 2 concerts at the Ark as part of the 40 days and 40 nights Christian Cocert Series. We loved the house in downtown Williamstown. A nicely remodeled home with modern furnishings and everthing that we needed. We would definitely stay here again. Thanks for allowing us to stay.

The Tollhouse was a perfect place for our family of 6 to stay for a long weekend to attend a conference at the Ark Encounter. The house was extremely clean and cozy, and we could tell the owners cared about our stay with fun little extras. Thank you for making our family feel welcome and "at home."
5.0
Our family of 7 had a nice 2 night stay during our visit to the Ark Encounter. The place had all of the comforts of home. The only thing we would want to let others know, if you’re a light sleeper, bring a sound machine or a fan for sleeping as the nearby trains may wake you up in the night.

My family had the most wonderful time at the Toll House! It’s a charming home that offers a clean, cozy space for making memories.

Very nice place to unwind after long days touring distilleries and the Ark Encounter. House had everything we could possibly need. Beds were comfortable and house was clean, plenty of towels for an Army.. The sunsets from the back are amazing. Will definitely recommend to friends who are coming to do the encounter.

The Tollhouse was a perfect "base camp" for our family's exploration of the Ark, Creation Museum, and Cincinnati Zoo. Loved it and would recommend to others.

We came to spend a day at the Ark but wanted to get away for a few days so we chose The Williamstown Tollhouse for our stay, the house was about 5 minutes away from the Ark in the quite little town of Williamstown. The house had been remodeled but they kept the original hardwood floors which I loved! They did a great job redoing this home, updated kitchen and bath and the rest of the home kept its cozy charm. The home was clean and well stocked with everything you could think of. The owners lived down the road in case you needed anything. The town was a cute, country town that was an easy walk from the house, my son and I walked and played Pokémon both nights that we were there. I would highly recommend this house and we definitely plan on coming back!

This is a beautiful cottage full of charm. It was spotless on arrival. Everything that we possibly needed was provided. The beds were super comfy! It is extremely close to the Ark Encounter.
