Lovely and comfortable stay

The fireplaces were welcome on the cold nights. We really liked the historic pictures and memorabilia in the cabinet upstairs. The beds were comfortable and it was a quiet place to stay. This was helpful after spending our days hiking and driving back and forth between area sights. We wished we could have moved the lodging with us to our next stay in Sednona. The kitchen had everything we needed including sharp knives (which we almost never find in rentals). There were fun games for the kids to play too. Thanks for a great stay!

Historic it is

We went at a time that not having AC was okay, windows open and fans on. It was not very clean for the price. There was cobwebs all over ceiling fans, windows ect. The home is old and for a larger person the upstairs felt unsafe. It is not really a place for children. We did take our sons who were able to play across the street at the church. There was a basketball hoop there and we asked permission to play. A couple neighborhood boys stopped and played as well. Having the grocery store in walking distance was good. Personally wouldnt stay again but it was an experieince.

Beautiful Historic Home in a Great Location

This was my family's first time to the Grand Canyon/Williams and we could not have picked a better place to stay. It is perfectly located within Williams. The supermarket next door is perfect for whatever you need. A short walk outs you in the middle of the old Route 66, where all the restaurants and shops are located. We had a great time and look forward to using it again on our next trip to the area.

Favorite Place to Stay in Williams

We were incredibly impressed with this beautiful historic home located in the heart of Williams. The location was perfectly situated to the Grand Canyon Railway, Bearizona, the Deer Farm, parks, and downtown. Having a Safeway supermarket a block over was a great plus, as well. The owners were wonderful with regard to their communication and responsiveness and the house itself could only be described as modern history. By that I mean, the house is historic while having all the modern day amenities you could ask for. The unit was also very well stocked by the owners. We didn't lack for any amenities. Extremely well managed and maintained vacation home. 5 thumbs up! Will definitely visit again.

Beautifully renovated home close to shopping and attractions

Perfect spot for our family trip to the Grand Canyon. The ladies enjoyed the thoughtful design and decor. Ample kitchen, comfortable beds, and cozy main room encouraged togetherness. Wifi was spotty. We had a great time!

Return to the Beautiful Yellow House

This was our second stay at the beautiful and comfortable Yellow House and it was like returning home. Every detail and historic charm was again on full display. The home is immaculately clean and again all necessities are provided for. The home is so comfortable and well appointed that you can just come in and relax after the many adventure in and around Williams. We hiked and explored the Gorgeous trails, walked the 3 blocks to the train for our excursion to Yellowstone and The a Polar Express and visited our favorite local stores downtown. This home will always be a favorite and you will love your stay!

Just Perfect

Our stay at the Historic Yellow House was just perfect. The home is beautiful and comfortable. This host has thought of everything and added many special touches. It is walking distance to Dairy Queen and that became our evening ritual. We highly recommend this lovely home.

Clean, Cozy, lovely home..

Great property. Home is beautifully decorated and filled with history in pictures, books and various beautifully displayes artifacts. Beds are comfy.. Host was fantastic and extremely willing to help with anything. Many welcoming touches throughout including refreshments in the fridge, tons of information about the local area and toiletries in the bathrooms. I will definitely stay here again once I save up enough money. My only suggestion would be to add some fine gravel in the yard to cover the dirt. The yard is lovely but grass is very patchy and much dirt is exposed.. Our little white dogs were more beige or gray at the end of our stay.

Delightful!

I can’t say enough positive things about this beautifully restored home. We (family of 5 plus 2 grandparents and a pup) enjoyed every minute being in the yellow house! It has everything you could need or want to make the stay comfortable (including *very* comfy beds and we are kinda picky) and the owner is so accommodating and helpful! We took the train to the Grand Canyon and spent some time wandering around the cute town of Williams. We got excited to come back to the house after each excursion, because it was just fun to be there. Even our dog was so happy there. It’s inviting, cute, well-stocked, and everything works! We’d love to go back someday!

This gorgeous historical property was just as described. The house was clean and welcoming when we arrived, with beautiful holiday décor throughout. Every room is cozy and inviting. The beds are very comfortable. A 5-star review is just not enough to accurately describe how wonderful this house is.

About the host

Hosted by Payce Mortensen

Our property manager Payce is here for you! Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions and concerns that you may have about the home or the surrounding areas!

Why they chose this property

Payce is managing for the owners, Scott and Abby. Scott and Abby Skowronek fell in love with and purchased the Historic Yellow House in December 2021. The Historic Yellow House was owned by the same family for 93 years! Before that, it served as the bunkhouse and supervisor's office for the Saginaw & Manistee Lumber Mill. The rich history of the home and the area are fascinating. The previous owner’s (The Moede’s) watched the beautiful property fall into disrepair, and decided they had to do something. They bought the home in 2012 and carefully dis-assembled the entire property saving everything historic they could. Re-claimed wood, original floors and amazing stonework still remain. Artifacts and photos abound in the home. Charm and comfort of a bygone era welcome guests. A perfect 'summer cottage' in a wonderful mountain community. Scott and Abby look forward to starting new family traditions and memories in the Yellow Hose and want to share this special home with others as well.

What makes this property unique

The home is historic but the creature comforts are all fully modern! 800 thread count sheets, quality beds, comfortable chairs and reading nooks, fantastic kitchen, bright clean laundry room, fireplaces, original art, good books, games, tvs, Wi-Fi, grill, patios, gardens, fruit trees, off-street parking and the most convenient location in the middle of everything.
