At the Knotty Pine, we believe in minimizing our impact in the world. The home is very energy efficient, using all LED lighting throughout the house, being fully insulated, having ceiling fans in every room, using the most energy efficient windows and doors available, and using a smart thermostat to decrease energy usage. We want to be a good steward of our beautiful environment in Williams!
The Knotty Pine features 3 bedrooms, including an adjustable California king primary suite, a queen guest bedroom, full size bunk beds with an additional twin trundle in the 3rd bedroom and a twin-sized sleeper sofa in the den (and great kid hangout). Our home is beautifully decorated in a modern farmhouse style, keeping our guest's relaxation and comfort in mind. The Knotty Pine is fully equipped with quartz countertops, farmhouse sink, top of the line stainless steel appliances, cook-ready kitchen, newly carpeted bedrooms with hardwood floors running throughout the rest of the home.
For those who prefer peace and quiet, imagine yourself snuggling up next to the fireplace and picture window with the beautiful juniper and pine forest in your backyard.

Many times, you can encounter herds of deer running through our backyard during one of Arizona's famous sunsets.

The house was just as wonderful as advertised. A great location for our family to set up home base for our vacation. Deron was an excellent communicator and made sure we had everything we needed. House was cozy, clean and in a quite neighborhood. Would definitely stay here again.

Thank you for the wonderful review! We're so glad you enjoyed your stay at The Knotty Pine. There's something special about spending an evening on the patio while the mule deer wander by—it never gets old, even for us.
We're happy you enjoyed the home and its amenities, and it means a lot to hear you'll be staying with us again. We look forward to welcoming you back on your next trip to Williams!
Very comfortable property. Everything you need to enjoy your stay is included, and a few extra considerations, like dinnerware for kids (we had a 2 year old and a 4 year old and this was quite thoughtful) as well as plenty of the necessities. Easy check in and out. Host was very responsive and had good suggestions about local area amenities.We had a wonderful stay. Thanks for allowing us to stay.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re glad you and your family had such a comfortable stay and that the little extras for the kids came in handy. We’ve tried to make the house feel like a home away from home and include the things we would appreciate when traveling with our own family.
It was a pleasure having you as our guests, and we’re especially happy you had a chance to enjoy Williams and the surrounding area. Thank you for taking such great care of our home, and we’d be happy to welcome you back anytime!
The property was very easy to access, communication with Deron was excellent, and the property is gorgeous! Very clean and nicely decorated. Would definitely recommend and if we ever travel to Williams again, we would gladly book again!

Thank you for staying with us and for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. We're happy to hear that everything from check-in to communication went smoothly and that you enjoyed the home. We'd love to welcome you back anytime you're in Northern Arizona again!
The Knotty Pine was a great place for our family vacation. The house was clean and comfortable. The back porch and yard were an added bonus along with the roaming deer in the neighborhood. The host was welcoming and responsive and made check in and check out very easy. We enjoyed our stay!
House was lovely and clean with great decor. Loved the wildlife in the back yard.

Thank you for the kind review! We loved seeing your family photo from Bearizona—it looks like everyone had a great time making memories together. We're glad you enjoyed the home, the decor, and the wildlife, and we hope to welcome your family back to Williams again someday.
Enjoyed our stay! Perfect spot for our families to stay during our annual polar express trip. Thank you!

Thanks Amy for choosing the Knotty Pine for your Polar Express trip. It's nice to have such a cozy place to come back to after a chilly night! Have a great New Year!
The house is nicely decorated, clean, and had everything we needed. It was perfect for our train trip to the Grand Canyon. Staying here was much more comfortable than the hotel and I am glad we found this place.
The home was so comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed, and staying here was the perfect alternative to the Polar Express Experience without staying on site. The house was decorated for Christmas (which the kids loved) and everything was cabin-cozy. Couches and beds were comfortable, we will totally stay here again!

This home was great for our visit to the Grand Canyon. The neighborhood is peaceful and safe. The kids had a blast playing and exploring in the back yard. We would definitely stay here again if we return to the area!
This property is everything you need for a comfortable stay in Williams. Very clean and comfortable. Would not hesitate to recommend to anyone. We loved it!

Deron is a super host. Always replied in time with very good recommendations for the stay. The house is very clean, nice furniture, and super location to get to Gran Canyon within 60 min drive.
Our family had a great time during our stay. The Knotty Pine was beautiful, warm and comfortable with everything you needed. It is in a newer neighborhood so there is some construction going on, but you are very close to the lake and golf course.

I'm so glad you had a great time in Williams and at the Knotty Pine. Fall is such a great time to visit with the chilly weather and the leaves changing. November and December are so much fun with the Polar Express and the really cute downtown. I also look forward to the winter and skiing at Snowbowl, which is less than 1 hour away. Thanks again, and please come back to see us.
The home was beautiful, comfortable and in a nice neighborhood. Great location for either the train ride or taking your own car to the Grand Canyon. Our host checked in with us to make sure everything was good. It was a nice break from the heat of the Valley. We look forward to booking again someday.

Very clean and comfortable house! We enjoyed cooking together in the well stocked kitchen and relaxing in the backyard around the fire.
The neighborhood was very quiet and had a small lake and playground close by. Would definitely stay here again!
We had a fantastic time in this updated cabin in Williams. Devon was very responsive and helpful. The property was in wonderful condition and was equipped with everything we needed. Highly reccomend!
