NEW! THE RETREAT Ranch House - Only 20 minutes from the Grand Canyon

  • Set on 40 wide-open acres, this private ranch retreat offers rare space, silence, and stars—perfect for families, couples, or anyone craving room to breathe. Wake up surrounded by sweeping high-desert views and enjoy the unbeatable advantage of being among the closest vacation rentals to the Grand Canyon—just a scenic 20-minute drive to the world-famous National Park.

    Unlike cramped tiny homes or crowded RV parks, this is a true open ranch property—private, expansive, and unapologetically spacious. Inside, you’ll find a fully equipped kitchen ready for home-cooked meals, fresh linens, plush towels, toiletries, and essentials thoughtfully provided, plus a washer and dryer for longer stays.

    Comfort comes standard with air conditioning and heating, while mornings start right with complimentary Keurig coffee, tea, and sugar. Step outside to enjoy the full-length deck, fire up the BBQ grill, or gather under the stars at the outdoor fire pit—where the night sky feels endless and unforgettable.

    This is more than a place to stay—it’s a Grand Canyon-adjacent ranch experience offering freedom, comfort, and proximity you simply won’t find anywhere else.

What an excellent property! We enjoyed every moment we stayed at The Retreat. Keyless, so no worries about the arrival time (very convenient because of the long distances). So quiet and comfortable. Nice terrace to relax and enjoy your breakfast. Highly recommended!

New Retreat Ranch

Very nice place to stay within minutes of the Grand Canyon. Pat and Kristy were wonderful hosts in responding to our requests and meeting our needs. You're out on the open prairie and can sit in a rocker on the porch or sit by a fire. You can experience sunrises and sunsets. We had a wonderful stay

Great stay for out visit to Grand Canyon

We stayed 2 nights over our Spring Break trip with our 3 kids (ages 5, 8 and 10). An easy drive into the National Park and the property was stocked with essentials and games for the kids to play, which was very helpful by this point in our trip (this was our 4th stop). Property managers were super helpful when i needed to adjust our check-in day about 2 months before our stay to add a stop on our trip before we stayed here.

Peaceful getaway close to Grand Canyon

Enjoyed our stay at this peaceful home. Close to Grand Canyon so we enjoyed our days at the canyon and evenings looking at stars from the outdoor seating area of the house. While it was only myself and my husband, this home is perfect for small families. Games and TV inside, and grill outside make it a perfect quiet getaway. Pat and Kristy were always quick to respond and very hospitable. We came here after our elopement and they had left us a card and treats which was so very thoughtful of them! 10/10 recommend.

Peaceful Setting

This home was a comfortable distance, 20-30 minutes, from Grand Canyon Village, giving us access to groceries and other supplies on the way to and from. Compact and efficient, it also gave us sunset, moonrise and dark skies for star gazing.

Heaven!

This property was heaven. Very private, great amenities and close to the Grand Canyon. So many thoughtful items...outdoor and indoor games, firewood cut and ready to go for the fire pit, even seasonings and kitchen supplies like foil and plastic wrap. Saw wildlife including jack rabbits, fox, lots of birds. Loved it here!

Perfect Base Spot For Visiting Grand Canyon

My husband and I stayed here for 3 days while we explored the Grand Canyon area and it was the perfect little retreat outside of busier outside park area. Beautiful sunrises over the mountains, and a nice fire pit area for enjoying the stars at night too! All of the little details are covered to make your stay relaxing and care free. The front porch was an amazing bonus spot to relax too. Having the washer and drier helped us to pack lighter and leave with clean clothes. This would definitely be a bonus for a family.

Outstanding Ranch Getaway!

My family stayed here as a jump-off point for a day-trip to the Grand Canyon. Sure, there are hotels that are closer to the GC, but a little house like this lets you barbeque your own meals, and sit by the fire and look up at all the stars at night, which we did. There is a little twin house about 70 yards away, just far enough you don't really hear the guests at that house. Otherwise, you have a 180 degree view from the deck, from which you can see for miles. The house itself is perfectly clean and well-equipped, and everything worked - TV, internet, washer/dryer, grill, A/C - everything. Everything seemed to be new and was perfect. The owners, who were quick to respond to any questions with a high level of detail, obviously have a passion for providing a great experience to renters. Fantastic!

A fantastic Retreat in a wonderful location!

The Retreat Ranch House is a carefully crafted piece of luxury in a wide wildnerness. The location is stunning: you can stand on the wide, sturdy wooden porch of the Retreat and look out to the mountains around Flagstaff - we saw some spectacular storms whilst here, and the skies are great! The Retreat is also so convenient for getting to the Grand Canyon National park - great for catching the sunrise or staying to watch the sunset at the South Rim. The Retreat itself is modern and luxuriously stocked - the hosts have spared little expense in providing their guests with comfort and amenities, including: full-size washer and dryer, great bathrooms and showers, lots of storage, easy-to access hob/ oven and good fridge/ freezer. The "trail packs" for hiking and water bottles the host left were a lovely touch. Aside from the large and comfortable dining table outside on the (covered) porch, the further outdoor seating area and solar-lit paths are beautiful. We saw hares and hummingbirds, as well as bats at dusk. Would definitely stay again, and for longer.
