Williams is home to the Grand Canyon Railway and its winter Polar Express which runs from November thru the first part of January. We are approximately 60 minutes from Oak Creek Canyon and Village and the colorful red rock town of Sedona. We are about 60 miles east of the intriguing Grand Canyon Caverns near Seligman, AZ and about 50 minutes from the Hopi and Navajo Nations where you can purchase Native American arts and crafts and visit their ancient village and ruins.

Our home is located within walking distance to the historic Route 66, where you can dine in local charming restaurants, visit our hometown brewery or our wine tasting lounge and take a horse and carriage ride thru downtown Williams with its old historic saloons, gift and craft shops. Williams is minutes from Bearizona, the Deer Farm and about an hour and half from the historic ghost town of Jerome, AZ.

A Great Basecamp for All of Northern Arizona
Stayed for several nights with some friends. The house brought back many great memories, and we could use it as a base camp for visiting many Northern Arizona attractions. The board games, and especially the domino set, was a great way to pass time in the evenings. I'll definitely stay again on my next trip to Williams.
