Charming farm house

My extended family stayed at this absolutely charming farmhouse. The kids loved exploring the property and hanging out in the nap shack. The farmhouse was beautifully decorated, had everything you could hope for and more (crock pot, griddle, popcorn maker, coffee choices, jetted tub, fire pit, hammocks, and so much more. I made a mistake in the beginning and lost my reservation; the host was quick to respond when I reached out and was creative in finding a solution so that we could still stay last minute. We were so grateful and appreciated his grace. We loved our stay, and this beautiful property will be our go to from now on.

Great place to stay in Williams AZ!

The Big D Ranch is a great place to spend a week or weekend in the Williams, AZ area. Our family had a great time fishing and hiking in the area and enjoying the property amenities such as horseshoes, corn hole, tetherball, etc. Our group of 10 plus a toddler slept well and took advantage of the gas grill for cooking the trout we caught at nearby Kaibab Lake and the firepit for smores and hot dog cooking. We'll be back!

Don’t miss this fabulous house!

We had a wonderful stay at the ranch. The home was comfortable and was in a great, central location to everything we wanted to see. Communication was great. I loved the website sent by the owner I could put in my phone like an app. And the interactive board in the kitchen was really useful. This was one of the best VBRO places we have stayed.

Beautiful house and setting

We loved this house - it felt homey and cozy and the patio was fantastic. It was clean and well-appointed and so close to the Grand Canyon. When we left, we actually said it was the first rental we've ever stayed in that was nicer than the photos. The pictures don't do it justice - it's a gorgeous home!

The kids think it's better than the Grand Canyon!

The ranch was amazing! It had everything we needed and then some. We even got to make homemade ice cream with the ice cream maker! The friendliness of the owner made us feel very welcome right from the start. Our children even asked to leave the Grand Canyon early so they could spend more time at the Ranch!

About the host

Hosted by Jeff Dewey

Host profile image
Originally from Chicago & San Diego, Carrie and I both settled in the Phoenix area. Between the 2 of us we have 2 grown children, Hunter and Billie and nothing is more important to us than getting together and spending time with them. We regularly enjoy family gatherings at the Ranch whether it be for the entire week or just a weekend. Our reviews will confirm that family memories are indeed made here at The Big D Ranch. See you soon.

Why they chose this property

Being from the city, we wanted to find the perfect place in the mountains to get away from the hustle and bustle. We wanted to breath the fresh air, feel the cool breeze, nap under the trees in the hammock, sleep with the windows open, hear the roosters and the donkeys in the morning and the train at night. We wanted to be centrally located to attractions and enjoy the quaintness of the small town of Williams. We found what we were looking for and so much more. It's amazing and we would love to share it with you and your family. We look forward to hosting you.

What makes this property unique

The Ranch is located squarely between Flagstaff and the Grand Canyon and only minutes from historic downtown Williams. During the summers you can hike, bike, take day trips to the Grand Canyon, visit Bearizona, a wild animal drive-through park or just stroll along the shops of downtown Williams. Maybe you just stay "home" for the day and pet the animals, play corn hole, tetherball, horseshoes, swing on the swing or nap in the hammock. The Big D Ranch offers something for everybody. You are sure to head back home with many great memories and a desire to return.
