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.

Nice home near Ark Encounter

This home felt like a nice place to relax and enjoy some meals together. The antique touches in the kitchen just added to it's charm. The beds were comfortable and the neighborhood was quiet. All of our communication with the owner was quick and polite.

Relaxing stay

The property is just what our family needed for a little get away to bring in the new year. Able to drive back to Cincy and creation museum with easy access to the interstate. Just minutes from shopping and also enjoyed the lights and concert at the Ark Encounter. Our host was very responsive to any needs that came up.

We were very comfortable & felt at home in the cottage at 306 Sunset Drive in Williamstown, KY. If we travel in this area again, we will definitely stay there again!

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.
