Home on the Range

We had a wonderful time with our 4 grandkids and dog at this cute home in a remote area. It was definitely a family home and well broken in, but perfect for us. Comfortable and charming, there were large open spaces around the small neighborhood and we saw a her of antelope. The all important WIFI worked perfectly, so the kids were very happy on their pads. The host, Chris, was very responsive and we had no difficulties.

Amazing stay!

My family stayed and were so pleased when we arrived. The home is situated in a semi-isolated neighborhood where the scenery, sunrises, and sunsets were stunning. The quiet solitude was perfect. Our favorite feature of the home was it's wood burning stove. It warmed the home and provided an opportunity for our family to gather together more. The town of Parks is nearly equidistant between the Grand Canyon and Sedona, so we easily visited both cities and their attractions. The hosts provided everything we needed, which was helpful as out-of-state visitors. The hosts responded to all communication quickly and answered any questions I had. If we ever were to visit the area again, we would choose to stay here.

Great location

The house sat on two fenced acres which was mostly why we picked it. Our dog loved the freedom to run around. The walk to the lake was gorgeous and peaceful. The house had what we needed, as others have mentioned, it’s older so keep that in mind if you need fancy brand new interiors. It was exceptionally clean and just great for our escape from the Vegas heat.

Relaxing Weekend getaway

Very nice place to stay. Owner has left thorough information on the property and has thought of many little details (for example: plenty of towels and blankets). Nicely situated between Williams and Flagstaff and close to lots of outdoor recreation but still secluded enough for some nice R and R.

Grand Canyon/Sedona trip

Great home base for day trips to the Grand Canyon and Sedona. The area is peaceful, and the home was perfectly comfortable for us. The boys loved the yard - tire swing, swing set and trampoline we’re great after long drives. Would definitely recommend!

Cozy, not fancy, private, just right

We’re so glad to have spent part of our Spring Break here. We stayed in Parks and took day trips to Grand Canyon, Bearizona, and Sedona. Chris had everything there we needed, access was seamless with a door keypad, and the kids loved the trampoline and piano!! Thanks for a great stay. I even was able to do a few necessary loads of laundry!

Perfect Family Location

We had a great stay at Chris's property. Almost everything we needed was available in the home. The only thing we found would be helpful is a measuring cup (there could have been one and I just did not find it) and a clearer address visible from the street. We recommend this property and are considering booking a stay over the summer.

Outdoor heaven

My family and I had the greatest time at this Parks location. It is close to Williams and Flagstaff. The remote feature...if you are a star gazer, this place is for you. My eight year old granddaughter rated this location five stars. The best feature is that the location is close to the forest preserve and the hiking trail is great. My dogs gave that a five wags rating. If I plan another trip for Northern Arizona, I will use this location again.

Northern AZ retreat

This house was a great home base for day trips. We saw so much of Arizona that we haven't seen! Bearizona is a must! My children did have a hard time not having WiFi. I thought they could attach to my hotspot on my phone but the cell service was spotty for us.

About the host

Hosted by chris dockter

My wife and a have been in Flagstaff since we were young, we went to Flagstaff high school. We married and moved to Parks to enjoy the space and beauty. We have 2 small children and both work full time jobs. We moved back to Flagstaff for the kids activities and to be a bit closer to work but could not part with our country home that we love so we decided to share it with others in order to be able to keep it. Flagstaff is only about 20 min from Parks.

Why they chose this property

We loved the calm and quietness of the country side and simplistic living away from the busy city life.

What makes this property unique

We wanted space to have pets (they came first) and places for the kids (they were next) to play. We love to garden you will see my glorious Clematis, Columbine, trees and numerous wild flowers. We enjoy to sit by the campfire on a still evening and gaze at the night sky. Fully covered deck with furniture, picnic table, plenty of lawn chairs.
