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.

We loved JC Cottage it was close to everything. It was very clean and had cozy like home. We will definitely be booking again on next trip to this town ❤️
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!
This a beautiful place to stay when visiting The ARK. It’s in a lovely neighborhood in small town America. It was perfectly clean and comfortable. Gina was very helpful and responsive.
We really enjoyed our stay at this very nice property. The home is very clean and neat. It just made us feel at home. We would recommend to anyone. It’s located just a short drive from The Ark.
We visited The Creation Museum and then the Ark. House very close to the Ark, the house was very clean and had a great coffee/tea bar. Beds were good with super bath towels. Highly recommend!
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.

The property had a very homey, clean and cared for environment. They even put up a Christmas tree for us.
I left a drink bottle behind, and owners are mailing it to me. How thoughtful. I would recommend for sure...
We so enjoyed this cottage. It was the perfect size for our family. Everything was so clean and updated to meet the needs of their guests. Communication with the host was quick and easy. Thank you. Would recommend to anyone coming to the area!
Neat and clean. Very close to the Ark Encounter .
Having the entire home was very comfortable and welcoming.
If we are ever in the area again. We will be checking to see if we can rent this unit again!
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!
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!
The property was super clean.stocked with coffee, tea, popcorn, Granola bars, and water bottles. AC works good. Notebook with local restaurant flyers and things to do in area. Quiet neighborhood. Nice back deck for evening chats. Easy and clear checkout instructions. Very nice place.
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.
