Great place to stay in Williams AZ!

The Big D Ranch is a great place to spend a week or weekend in the Williams, AZ area. Our family had a great time fishing and hiking in the area and enjoying the property amenities such as horseshoes, corn hole, tetherball, etc. Our group of 10 plus a toddler slept well and took advantage of the gas grill for cooking the trout we caught at nearby Kaibab Lake and the firepit for smores and hot dog cooking. We'll be back!

Don’t miss this fabulous house!

We had a wonderful stay at the ranch. The home was comfortable and was in a great, central location to everything we wanted to see. Communication was great. I loved the website sent by the owner I could put in my phone like an app. And the interactive board in the kitchen was really useful. This was one of the best VBRO places we have stayed.

Fantastic Home Base for Exploring

My family and I loved our stay at the ranch. It was cozy and comfortable and had everything we needed to easily enjoy our time near the Grand Canyon. Plenty of space to unwind and watch a show or play a game after a day of hiking. We had everything we needed (appliance/dish/etc) to make several meals together and enjoy them around the big table as a family. Seeing the donkeys, goats, and chickens was a treat, as was hanging out with the kids in the cute nap shack. We loved the outdoor patio with fireplace, too, which we used on a couple of cooler nights. It was such a treat to see all the stars-- and even shooting stars! The owner Jeff kindly let us know about the meteor shower (thanks again Jeff!). Jeff was very quick to respond to our questions and we got to meet him briefly. He's such a friendly, kind guy, and he gave us some great suggestions about the area. Williams is a good location to get to the Grand Canyon, Sedona, Flagstaff. Not too far from any of those but you get to see lots of pretty views on the drives to each place and appreciate the changing landscape. Such a gorgeous part of the world! I would definitely stay at this peaceful spot again.

Just what we were looking for!

Everything was exactly as described in the listing. Jeff was super easy to communicate with. The entire family enjoyed life on the ranch for a couple days. The donkeys were entertaining, the views were relaxing and the wrap around porch was perfect to sit out on in the morning and evening. The little ones loved the toy room off of the porch. It was exactly what we were looking for.
