Grand Canyon, Williams, Route 66, Historic Getaway

We invite you to stay at our comfortable, inviting, and historic home, built in 1900. We are located in the historic residential district of the scenic mountain town of Williams, Arizona off the nostalgic Route 66.
Our home is decorated with antique furnishings and items of the historic era. House comfortably sleeps 8, with 3 themed bedrooms. The Wild West Room hosts a queen size bed, the Scarlet Room a full size bed, the Route 66 Room a trundle bed which converts into a king or 2 twin beds and the living room has a queen sofa pull out bed. There are two full baths supplied with towels and basic amenities. The kitchen is equipped with both basic and small appliances, pantry items, full place settings, silverware, and cookware. Home features a comfortable living room and dining area, a small office with a library containing books and information on the Grand Canyon, historical Williams, Route 66, Arizona, and the Wild West.
Our home has an inviting veranda front porch for viewing the stunning Arizona sunsets and looking out into the spectacular starry moonlit nights and a back patio with an outside grill and chiminea for a cozy fire.
We are 55 minutes from the breathtaking and enchanting Grand Canyon.
Williams is home to the Grand Canyon Railway and its winter Polar Express which runs from November thru the first part of January. We are approximately 60 minutes from Oak Creek Canyon and Village and the colorful red rock town of Sedona. We are about 60 miles east of the intriguing Grand Canyon Caverns near Seligman, AZ and about 50 minutes from the Hopi and Navajo Nations where you can purchase Native American arts and crafts and visit their ancient village and ruins.
We are within minutes of fishing, hunting, hiking, cycling, swimming, golfing, snow skiing, sledding and exploring.
Our home is 1 block from the Kaibab National Forest where you can take scenic drives to view wildlife in their natural habitat or hike and rock climb in the wilderness area of Sycamore Canyon. We are about 45 minutes away from the beautiful Arizona Snowbowl where you can snowboard and ski in the winter months and enjoy scenic gondola rides and other activities in the summer months.
Our home is located within walking distance to the historic Route 66, where you can dine in local charming restaurants, visit our hometown brewery or our wine tasting lounge and take a horse and carriage ride thru downtown Williams with its old historic saloons, gift and craft shops. Williams is minutes from Bearizona, the Deer Farm, Canyon Coaster Adventure Park, and about an hour and half from the historic ghost town of Jerome, AZ.

Recreational Trip
The property was conveniently located in Williams. The gas wall heater did not keep the property warm. The bedrooms did not have heat! The kitchen was sparsely supplied with worn out utensils and pots/pans. Disappointed with a single sheet on a double bed! No vacuum or broom available for cleaning! No outdoor grill!

Perfect Getaway
Perfect place to stay when visiting Williams or Grand Canyon. Close enough to walk to downtown, but still quiet and peaceful. The house was very clean and comfortable, fully stocked kitchen, and a nice private back yard area with a BBQ. Easy check in and check out process and great communication from owners, highly recommend, Thanks so much!

A Great Basecamp for All of Northern Arizona
Stayed for several nights with some friends. The house brought back many great memories, and we could use it as a base camp for visiting many Northern Arizona attractions. The board games, and especially the domino set, was a great way to pass time in the evenings. I'll definitely stay again on my next trip to Williams.

A cute classic house in a GREAT location
We found this house a great size for 2 teens, my MIL, my husband and I. The location meant that we could walk to downtown and to the train station (which was amazing) and the generous rooms and lovely back patio gave us space to relax. The house is classic and clean. Recommend the town and Williams!

Great location to explore the area
Overall, had a great stay and would recommend it. The house is in a quite neighborhood walkable to things in Williams. The layout was great for our family of 5 with 3 younger kids. The house was very clean with everything we needed and we appreciated the little things (like frosted mugs in the freezer and toys/games :). Things that might be helpful for others to know - the house is well-maintained but old so all the things that come with that (creaky floors, noisy doors, etc.). There isn't central air so the two outer bedrooms (those without the twins) and bathrooms got chilly (but were fine even with cold Dec nights with blankets). The middle room (with twins) actually got very warm. They warn the water pressure is low and IT WAS (we only tried one shower). The rooms (except master) have very light curtains or blinds so get very light in the morning. The train whistle woke our kids up in the mornings - probably an issue everywhere in Williams. The kitchen was basically stocked but had everything we needed to make a few meals. We really appreciated the stainless steel cookware - nonstick in rentals is always in such bad shape we hate using it.

Quaint and Peaceful
Very quaint and comfortable house for our family of five. The house is well equipped for needs and the eclectic decor was nostalgic, even down to the squeak of floor reflecting the history of this house. Very convenient location to historic Route 66. Terrific respite after a long day journey to the Grand Canyon.

William's antiquated.
Tha house was built in 1920's. The floors were not level and had many areas where a step down was done. The old heating system was hard to regulate and there weren't any instructions.
