This was a great property to stay at! House was clean and stocked with everything we could want. It was convenient to get to Grand Canyon and Williams but secluded enough to feel like a private getaway. The host was easy to communicate with and had everything written out for us once we got there. Overall excellent vacation experience!

This home was very warm and welcoming. Stocked with everything you need for your stay, including a stocked kitchen, board games, toddler & kid toys, kids loft area and much more. The bird feeder hanging outside the large dining room window was really fun to watch all the different birds come to eat. We felt right at home and enjoyed making wonderful memories with our children and grandson. It was very nice enjoying quiet time on the deck and taking in the cooler weather. Thank you, we can't wait to stay again.

House is impeccable, and perfectly outfitted as advertised. The instructions are approachable and welcoming rather than admonishing. The hosts have paid attention to every detail. For example the bird feeder! The kitchen contains exactly what a rental should contain, It’s situated right in the forest at a trail head. I would absolutely stay here again and again.

Perfect family getaway!

We had the best time! The house had tons of room for everyone to sleep, lots of board games, DVDs to watch, bird watching supplies, journals, and a bath tub with jets! My favorite thing about it though, was the wrap around patio. We drank cocoa and coffee and watched the snow fall. It was beautiful!

Great place to relax

The home was very clean, well stocked with supplies for guest to use and had a book with detailed instructions on everything the home offered. Lots of room for everyone to spread out and relax. Plenty of outside activities like horse shoes, a slack line, a hammock and disc golf net. The patio was spacious with a nice grill facing the woods. The deer came by in the evenings and multiple species of birds visited the bird feeder in the dinner table window. Great escape for large groups and we will for sure be back!

Great place!

The property is great, we had fun feeding birds and hiking in the area. Kids adored the loft, it is super cool! They were bummed about the Zipline being down but there were so many other things to do both inside and outside. Kitchen was awesome, made lots of food. Thanks so much for letting us experience your place!

Forest retreat

Cabin was perfect, location was ideal. Family enjoyed the hammock the most. The kids enjoyed the hide-away loft the most! Played poker every night with their poker set next to the indoor wood-burning fire place. Trail head right outside the gate took us to see deer, a stray calf, and antelope. Faulty bathroom sink faux-door that fell on my toe and couldn’t get the living room DVD player to work were the only cons! Would definitely stay here again!

Great Place to Stay Near Grand Canyon for Big Groups!

We really enjoyed our stay here as a group of friends coming to relax, and see the Grand Canyon. It was very clean, nice big cozy rooms and beds, and a big open living room, kitchen and dining room area. We loved all the wildlife we got to see, and the fact that it was right next to a trailhead! had everything we needed, coffee, hot water, clean bathrooms, quiet, soft towels, and privacy for bigger groups. Will definitely have to come back again!!

Amazing Family Home

This house is amazing for a family with kids. The house included many movies, games, indoor and outdoor games and activities, and the loft is a great place for kids to hang out. The amenities in the house are very well-labeled and abundant. The items provided are above and beyond other houses where I’ve stayed. The seating in the living room and dining area match the number of sleeping spaces. We had an amazing time. Thank you!!
