Regular pest control is performed, but total exclusion cannot be guaranteed

Wonderful home and responsive host! Clean and comfortable with plenty of linens. Quiet community. About a 15 minute drive to the main Williams area that has a variety of restaurants, shops and activities. We drove to the Grand Canyon and Antelope Canyon, and it was very nice to come back to a peaceful home where my family of 4 could spread out and relax.
we had a great stay, the host was very available for any issues. The house was very clean and comfortable. Be confident in booking here, thank you Dorian. I hope to stay here again.
Overall, good for the price we paid. For a home that sleeps 7, I wish the kitchen was bigger with more updated items. It was interesting to see a water allowance, but it wasn't an issue for us. Loved the SNES.
We were very pleased with our stay and the amenities provided by our host. Communication was prompt and professional throughout. The home was cozy and perfectly suited for a party of six, including two small children. It’s located near a charming small town with a grocery store, restaurants, and gift shops, and it was conveniently centered near all of our destinations during the trip. The price was very affordable, and the house rules were reasonable. I highly recommend this location for anyone who enjoys the quiet outdoors and wants to get away from the busy city. We would definitely stay here again.
Communication with Dorian was always quick and helpful. The house was the perfect size for our family, and we especially appreciated the 3 single beds for kids. There was Nintendo and some craft supplies to keep the kids busy, and a washer dryer with all supplies. Note that the road to the house is a dirty road, and it was very bumpy each time we came and went. It is also partially off-grid and you will need to be cautious with your water usage. It was a great anchor for our Grand Canyon/Flagstaff vacation, and we would definitely recommend!
