While the house has a very humble exterior, the interior was absolutely tremendous! Beautiful mattresses, pillow pillows, and sheets. Really well equipped kitchen. For a small ranch, the house felt very spacious. Great back patio with a beautiful sunset view of the Ridgeline.Tippi was a great host!

This home had everything we needed and more! Comfy beds, plush towels, K-cups, and shampoo! House was spotless and check in was easy! We enjoyed 3 meals at The Boathouse restaraunt right up the street, and the view was amazing! Highly recommend!

Loved this home!! Very comfortable, clean & fresh. It is well stocked with everything you could need. Convenient to the Grand Canyon SkyWalk, Guano Point and an easy drive to Lake Mead. It is off the beaten path, but worth it! Would definitely stay again

Hosts are friendly and accomodating. It's a lovely home and perfect for a family vacation to stay with.
Host was great! House was comfortable and well stocked. The hot water temp never reached hot… and was a disappointment. You probably have it set that way. None of us were a fan of that! All in all …. a good stay that could’ve been a great stay!
It is actually a 5 starts stay property. clean,quiet and beautiful view. Enjoyed scenic view from this property in pajamas. Very close to sky walk.

We loved the town of Meadview! Wished we could have stayed longer. The house was perfect for the 5 of us! Plenty of beds, towels and space. The host was easy to work with and quick to respond. We enjoyed the quiet location as we prepared for our 4 day backpacking trip into the Grand Canyon. Thanks again. We’ll most likely be back!

Meadview really has a special charm, and I'm happy you enjoyed the quiet location too. You were wonderful to communicate with, and I'm always here if you need anything. I'd love to welcome you all back whenever you return. Thanks again.

We enjoyed the small town of Meadview, it was just what we needed. The property had everything we needed and was very nice. Definitely would come back again!
Amazing view of stars at night and house was cozy. If you want to get away from all the noise perfect place to stay. House was beautiful and family enjoyed staying in and then star gazing at night.

About the host
Hosted by Tippawan Mathong
I’m originally from Thailand and have called the U.S. home for many years. Hosting has become something I truly enjoy — creating a space that feels clean, comfortable, and easy for guests to settle into. With a background in teaching, I naturally pay attention to the little details and what makes people feel cared for. I’m responsive, organized, and want your stay to feel smooth from start to finish. When I’m not hosting, I teach and spend time at my home in California. My goal is simple — for you to arrive, feel at ease, and enjoy your time here.
Why they chose this property
Meadview is a true hidden gem — known for its peace, tranquility, and the quiet beauty of the high desert. It’s a small, relaxed community where you can slow down, reconnect with nature, and enjoy a simpler pace of life.
Meadview is also a place where you can enjoy so much without the crowds. From lake days and hiking trails to off-roading and scenic drives, there’s plenty to do — yet most of the time, you’ll feel like you have it all to yourself. It’s a quiet, neighbor-friendly community, far from big-box stores and commercial noise — a place where life feels simpler, slower, and more connected to nature.
What makes this property unique
The Basin House is positioned to take in the beauty of the desert from both sides — with stunning views of the Grand Wash Cliffs, glowing sunsets, and the surrounding town.
Wildlife is often part of the experience, with sightings of owls, roadrunners, quail, eagles, and jackrabbits around the property. Combined with its clean, comfortable setup and peaceful setting, it’s a place where you can truly relax, enjoy nature, and take in the quiet beauty of Meadview.
