Williams Trip

The description is spot on. It is a very pleasant two-bedroom cottage with all the amenities needed. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Williams Cottage. Dara was just a text message away and responded quickly The cottage is very close to downtown Williams and the surrounding areas. Even though we are 'local' we enjoyed our four days in the Williams area playing tourist. My only suggestion - make sure the weeds around the front are removed. It would also be beneficial to replace the cracked up sidewalk. Someone could trip and fall with the missing pieces of sidewalk. Outside of that - this is a great place to stay - we would do it again. And have already referred the property to some friends! Thanks

Why they chose this property

We chose a property in this area because it is a place we love and visit very frequently. From the first moment we saw this cottage we were hooked on its charm and the story we did not know at the time. The idea of owning and restoring a home built so long ago that has held many families and memories was amazing. Ownership of this home comes with responsibility to uphold the past and our desire to share it with others.

What makes this property unique

Historic home, sits on a hillside overlooking a beautiful area, quiet residential area, all new: appliances, furniture, amenities. One block from National Forest land for hiking, watching wildlife and enjoying the quiet.
