Very fun house / ranch right off the main road to the Grand Canyon. Super easy to get to Williams for groceries and the Grand Canyon railway and to walk around the town… 10 min straight shot. We didn’t use the separate bunkhouse but it’s a fun little cabin off the patio. Patio is lovely with wood fireplace and gas grill. The only note I would make is a foldable step stool could be handy in the kitchen for shorter folks to reach glasses and such. My mom is 5feet and couldn’t reach a thing - haha- vertically challenged! Seeing the donkeys “wrestling” and horse and chickens is a fun bonus and definitely a fun place for hide and seek and exercise outside with the kiddos.

This lovely ranch house had every amenity we could ask for, beautiful views, indoor and outdoor fireplaces with plenty of wood provided, a very well stocked kitchen and so many accommodations for kids. Our grandkids aren’t infants or toddlers, but there is a crib, tot bed, backpack for carrying kids and so many toys. The donkeys welcomed us with their braying-so fun. The kids explored the paths around the property and discovered a hidden swing set, tether ball and 2 hammocks under shady trees. The home is 10 minutes from the Polar Express and Bearizona and they were both fantastic. Would definitely stay here again!

The property and location were wonderful. The farm setting with the animals, outdoor patio, fireplace, trail with hammocks, swings, tether ball, and horseshoe pits were such an added treat. Just about an hour from the Grand Canyon entrance and about 1hr 20min. to Sedona made for the perfect location. Williams is an adorable little town with cute shops and eateries. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, glasses, and flatware. Jeff was communicative and his instructions were coherent. A family friendly area and home.

Family friendly and comfortable. Everything's set up for a fun family stay. we enjoyed the porch and even on a windy afternoon the porch stayed pleasant. Our host was easy to reach and in tune with our needs so there were no complications with the house. We enjoyed hearing the sounds of clucking hens and the ocassional burro bray at feeding time.The views from the ranch are lovely. The fireplace is a good gayhering place on a cool evening. Highly recommended.

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.
