We had the most amazing stay! The home is stunning - pictures can't really do it justice - it is spacious, beautifully decorated, and well appointed. Every detail from the lighting to the record player and library invites a sense of calm. The property is gorgeous and it was nice being around a variety of animals while unplugging from city life. And the host is fantastic - great communicator, super friendly, just a top notch person - I was glad to have the chance to meet him. I am recommending this place to my friends and would gladly return.
I spent Thanksgiving week at the ranch and it was perfect! I sat at the kitchen window each morning sipping my coffee and watching the animals. The sunrise and sunsets each day were breathtaking. The kitchen is well stocked and plenty big! Joe is a gracious host and excellent communicator. Oh! Go eat at The Peachtree Cafe! Wowser!!
This place feels like you’ve stepped back in time. Wonderful experience and wish we could have stayed longer. The host was extremely communicative and helpful. Would definitely stay again.
The Rimrock Ranch was a unique property, with the 1920's architecture, farms animals, and awesome views. Thehost, Joe, was very helpful and knowledgeable about the history of the property and area
We loved this unique property with fun artistic touches and my kids will never forget hanging out with Joe and learning how to care for his amazing menagerie of animals!
We visited this amazing property over Thanksgiving weekend and had an awesome experience. The historic main house is one of the most unique houses we've stayed at and we loved visiting all the animals on the property. You are 20 minutes to Sedona, hiking trails and wineries. The sunrise and sunset views are to die for. The host made sure we were well taken care of. We will absolutely be back.
We loved our stay at this property and all the needed amenities were provided. Even local eggs and ingredients for S’mores!
The host was very proactive with communications and sharing local knowledge.
The fireplace was a great way to relax and visit at the end of the day. The sunsets and views were also amazing
My husband and I stayed with our son for the weekend just to get away, and we loved the place! The style of the stone cottage was charming, and we loved all of outdoor seating areas. Perfect for stargazing. Because of time and the warm weather, we did not get to take advantage of visiting the nearby farm animals or use the multiple fire pits,, but loved that they were there! We ran into the host on the way out, and he was very friendly! Definitely would stay there again.
Very clean, quiet, and charming property. Host, Joe, was friendly, responsive, and informative. Although we were just traveling through on this trip, we wished we would have spent more time to enjoy. Next time we will.
My friend and I visited the Ranch House at the tail-end of our trip to the Grand Canyon South Rim and The Grand Canyon Railway Hotel in Williams, AZ. Not only was this vacation rental a perfect stop on our way back to Phoenix it was clean, beautiful, and communication was easy! The property itself is unique and rich with history and culture. You won’t ding another one like it. I highly recommend and I will be back.
What a view! The location was perfect and the view was stunning! The farm animals were fun to watch however the roosters were confused between night and day. The house is rustic and was a true western home. Could use a good scrubbing but being a farm family nothing that bothered us. Communication was spot on and we enjoyed our stay.
The original portion of this residence was just incredible, all stone. The additions with bedrooms and a modern kitchen were well kept and spacious. The residence was on top of a hill and our dogs enjoyed investigating many nooks and crannies. Close to multiple attractions such as Sedona and Montezuma's Castle. The owner took time to introduce us to livestock (goats, a calf, chickens, ducks, horses, and a turkey) on the property, which was lots of fun. Loved our stay.
We had an amazing time at the Ranch House. We arrived at the perfect time to enjoy a spectacular sunset. The outdoor grill is large with plenty of space to cook for a group. The outdoor dining table and fireplace make for the perfect setting to enjoy the mild AZ nights.
The host showed us around the ranch property and we were able to hold the baby goats and interact with the animals.
The beds and sheets are very comfortable, the kitchen is well appointed and the farm frees eggs were a real treat.
We are local to Northern Az and were entertaining guests from the UK. It was fun for all of us locals and international travelers.
We really enjoyed our stay. The beds and bedding were top notch. Plenty of pillows and blankets too. House was large and accommodated the 4 of us well. We cooked several meals in and the kitchen was fully stocked with all the essentials. We used the outside grill and outdoor space which was nice. The property manager was very responsive and informative. We appreciated his help!
Opportunity for improvement
We experienced some insect issues and had to do some cleaning and spraying to address the problem. We totally understand there will be insects but think they could use a service on an ongoing basis to help since this is a rental property. The other area of improvement is the inside and outside could use a bit of TLC. Overall the property was good and we enjoyed our stay!

One night stay
We got to ranch house and it was exciting. Our first reaction was this is great. The house is beautiful and lots to see in it. As we checked our sleeping areas we notice a lot of bedding areas.
Clearness of the home, it nneded a little more of that. We found cobwebs in certain areas of the house and a few critters to. The out side of the house would also need a little more of weeds taken out. It was not easy to reach the farm animals due to weeds. Other than that we enjoyed our stay, we lite up thefire place out in the front ar night and spend some quality time with family due to no TV in the house, trust me we looked for it LOL.
I love coming here, this time I came with a partner and under sold the whole experience. the Animals are a nice reminder of my childhood wherein I get to remember what it was like watching my family care for chickens, goats and horses. I was too young but it is a sweet memory. The Ranch House is a step back in time with a modernized kitchen, bathrooms and laundry closet. Joe seems to cover all the necessities and also some luxuries like Smores and dog beds for us. the beds and furniture are so comfortable yet do not look out of place in a 1928 stone home. the only problem, is I only booked 2 days and need to address that in my next booking. Book a week: go to Robbie's, go to the local national monuments, Sedona, and Camp Verde. There are so many memory making things to do in the area, the list grows every time I come to Rimrock/Montezuma. See you in summer and thank you of the farm fresh eggs!
We wanted to see Sedona / Grand Canyon over Christmas without having to stay in Sedona, so this was perfect. Big stone house on top of a hill, incredible views on four sides. Clean house well equipped with two bedrooms, two baths, though if you have a bunch of kids there are all sorts of couches around an excellent stone fireplace.
You will be about 40 minutes from Sedona, where there is a decent Whole Foods and about a thousand restaurants most of which close at 8 pm, so plan accordingly. Don't bring eggs, the chickens and other critters down the hill provide plenty. The only issue we had was that the renovated kitchen has a convection stove top, which I am not qualified on. I was able to make pancakes. Highly recommended, a great base for hiking and exploring. Try not to arrive in the dark as the last stretch is challenging. Enjoy.
Dog friendly, the critters including chickens, ducks, goats and a cow will entertain even the most cynical teenagers (yes there is decent wi-fi). Bring binoculars, we forgot ours. We were not lucky with the night sky, but you might be. Highly recommended.
