The home was absolutely amazing! Everything was clean and I felt well-informed before checking in. The only things to note is that there is no drinking water spout, I’m used to one that comes from the fridge. And the pillows were more stiff than I would have preferred, but other than that, it was phenomenal!

This property is awesome. It is very charming and really clean. It had everything we needed. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. It is a very short walk to the main street where all of the shops, restaurants and bars are located. My family and I had such a wonderful time in Williams. We can't wait to visit again.

Our stay was excellent and perfectly met our needs. We planned to visit both the Sedona/Red Rock area and the Grand Canyon. Our location was perfect for both. We took the Grand Canyon Rail on one day and it was located just a few blocks from the house. We wandered through the Route 66 main street of Williams and it was a nicely walkable trip from the house. The house itself was very clean and in excellent repair. Although the old floors are mildly warped as is the case in most old houses, it certainly did not detract from our stay. The kitchen was well appointed, the bathrooms were well stocked and the heat worked perfectly (and it was cold at night). Although the mattresses were a little soft on two beds and the internet was a little spotty at times, I felt those were very minor issues. Overall, an outstanding house, host, and location made for an excellent trip. We strongly recommend this host and property.

Thank you for leaving a review. I'm so sorry that a city sewer line broke during your stay. This issue has been resolved and fixed and hopefully we never have an issue like the one that you experienced. Please stay with us again and I will heavily discount your stay. I want to thank you for contacting me promptly when this occurred, and how courteous you were when this incident happened on the last day of your stay. Thank you.
