My girlfriend and I were looking for a quiet nature getaway outside Phoenix, and this ranch in Williams was exactly what we hoped for. The cottage was spotless and super comfortable, with a fully stocked kitchen and a nice breakfast nook overlooking the property. Joe was super friendly and accommodating. He gave us great recommendations and really made our stay incredible. We also did horseback riding, which was such a highlight. The property is beautiful and extremely dog-friendly. Our dog Santo had so much room to roam, and there are goats you can visit and fresh eggs available to buy. Such a great place to get away for a few days. We’d absolutely come back!

I don’t have enough good things to say about this place. The property is beyond words with mountains in the background and backing up to national forest. There are so many cool animals. The hosts are so kind hearted and welcoming to both people and dogs. As a single, female traveler, it’s easy to feel nervous at new stays, not here! I felt safe and looked after. My dogs and I were allowed to explore the property and the cabin itself is so cozy. When staying here, you are within an hour of Grand Canyon south and Flagstaff. At night, you can see every star in the sky. I feel lucky to have found this place and I highly recommend to travelers who enjoy tranquility.

We had a wonderful time and can’t wait to go back. Our dogs had the time of their lives and I’m pretty sure Moose would have stayed if we let him!
