The house itself was exceptionally clean with lots of detail on directions on how to use things. The dirt roads were a little difficult to drive on for a sedan, but manageable. Did enjoy the hiking through the woods and the lake. Also, enjoyed the outdoor barbecue/fire pit.

This is a hidden gem between 2 popping city’s! The enclosed acre for our dogs was perfect, and the hike to Sholtz lake was an absolute blast. It was so much fun to be 25 minutes away from Williams and Flagstaff! Far enough to enjoy the pines in ABSOLUTE silence but close enough for a quick drive to all the tourist things. The house was so much fun with so much room for not only us but our dogs. Our dogs got to enjoy running a huge fenced in yard, and daily hikes around this community. I can’t convey how perfect this property is setup for pets, so much room. Chris has so many amenities for our use, and the house was spotless! My fiancé and I fell in love with Parks because of this place, and fingers crossed we will return as much as possible. With zero hesitation we would stay here again and again!

This is a well used family home, it’s clean and comfortable and has everything we needed. The fenced in area was great, and having the small lake down the road to walk to was fantastic. It’s very easy to get to both Williams and Flagstaff. The host responded quickly when we had questions.

This was a great stay for our family of 6 adults and 2 dogs. The loved that everyone could have there own room. The living room was spacious cans we could all sit comfortably together. We love to play board games and the dining room area was perfect our family night of fun. Our dogs loved the big fenced yard where they could run and play. During our stay we visited Bearizona and the Grand Canyon. Both were within an easy drive. We were able to both in one day. Definitely will add this to our favorites list. Thanks to our hosts for giving us the opportunity to make more family memories!

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.

Cute and quiet getaway

Very cute and quiet neighborhood. The house is welcoming and had plenty of space for all eleven of our group! Everything you might need for a stay away from home! The Scholz lake is a nice little walk away, lots of birds and wildlife to look at along the walk. The property manager is quick to respond with any questions you might have, and it was just a short drive to all the local activities. We had a wonderful stay

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!
