About this property

Route 66 Retreat • Walk to Town • Amazing Yard & Fire Pit

  • Oh Em Gee! This home is ah-mazing! Walking distance to historic Route 66, close to the Grand Canyon, Sedona and so much more.

    There are two homes on this large property...book both homes for up to 8 guests. Each home has a private fire pit for privacy.

    The open floor plan was designed for the ultimate in entertaining. Enjoy cocktails at sunset on the beautiful veranda (extra large covered porch), or play a fun game of corn hole while bar b queuing in the spectacular back yard by the fire pit.

    The stunning back yard is the star of this homestead. Completely revamped in 2020, the natural stone patio extends the living and entertaining space. A custom fire pit built into a rock boulder is the heart of this outdoor oasis. It is flanked by more natural boulder benches, a regulation sized corn hole court, outdoor dining area and so much more. Ambient lighting allows you to celebrate from day into night watching the star-filled nights of Arizona skies.

    We furnished this home in the coziest way possible and to be honest, it makes me feel like moving back to Arizona and moving in. It has great energy and is oh-so comfortable. I like to call the style mountain bohemian or boho chic. You could easily call it comfortable and cozy, spacious and serene, or family friendly.

    Located two short blocks from Route 66, you can walk to historic downtown Williams where you can dine and shop in the charming downtown. It's even walking distance to the Grand Canyon Railway.

    Mountain Digs was completely remodeled in 2019 with lots of room to spread out and enjoy your time in beautiful Northern Arizona. In addition to three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, it features large family and dining rooms. The large day bed in the living room includes a twin sized mattress and is super comfy for sleeping.

    The split floor plan allows great privacy for two couples who may be traveling together.

    The large living area is open to a beautiful dining and lounge area, great place to enjoy cocktails before dinner or morning coffee as you awaken to the cool pines of Northern Arizona.

    The front porch is beautifully inviting with a cushy outdoor sofa and occasional chairs.

    There's plenty of on-site parking, as well as ample street parking.

    Creating a mountain retreat for guests to love has been a passion project. We have spared no expense in making your stay away from home spectacular. We can’t wait to welcome you to our “nest of rest for those traveling west.”

This is the best house in Williams. Absolutely perfect location , just 2 blocks from downtime. The house could not be more perfect. It is beautiful inside and out. We spent our evenings outside by the fire pit roasting marshmallows both nights. Kids loved it ! The communication was 5 star !!Not that we had to use it at all. There were no issues that we needed to contact them for!When we come back for our next trip to Williams we will absolutely stay here !

This is the third year we’ve been lucky enough to stay at this wonderful home. Our children ask to come back each year, and it is so special to have this to look forward to every December. The host is very detail oriented, and all of the extra touches create true holiday magic! We hope to be back again next year!!

Best choice in Williams

After a 10 hour drive, it was so nice to walk into a clean, beautiful home! We walked down to town and got the best pizza ever then came back and sat by the fire in a gorgeous backyard and played cornhole. The host was super nice and went above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect!

Our family absolutely loved our stay. The home is so lovely modern and quaint. The house was spotless and the kitchen was as very accommodating with pots and pans and more for home cooked meals for my family of 6. The backyard was a huge plus, we used the bbq. Yes I’d come and stay again and you should too! Thanks for the s’mores the kids enjoyed very much.

Awesome home

This place was as advertised! It felt like home the minute we walked through the front door. It was perfectly appointed and comfortable. The host answered all of our questions and was very hospitable. The only issue was, we didn’t want to leave. From the comfortable rooms to the large back yard this home has it all. You can’t go wrong here.

Great Location!

We rented this property for a family/friend golf weekend. The house has everything you need to feel right at home. My husband and his friends enjoyed playing with the cornhole boards that were made available! The little house in the back that can be also rented is a definite plus! The location is perfect and within walking distance to downtown. The owner is very easy to work with and quick to respond and also makes the check in process quite easy. If your looking for a place to stay this is a must!

4 friends spent a month in this lovely home. The host were top notch!! I don't have enough good to say about it. The town was quaint, groceries were close by or plenty for good eats if you are looking to eat out. It's close to the Grand Cayon, Sedona, trails and a little town called Jerome that we enjoyed more than once. We would all highly recommend !!! Thank you Rene and Fonda for everything!

Short walk to Grand Canyon Railway Station, restaurants, shops, and grocery store. Short drive to Bearizona and fishing lake. Beautiful Yard perfect for children, dog, outdoor dinners, and S’mores by the firepit. Front porch great spot. The only thing I wish I had brought were fans for two bedrooms. There was a fan in one bedroom.

Oh.. my! From your first interaction with the check in process to your last moment remembering the dinners outside by the fire, you'll never stop loving this place! First off, the QUALITY of the touches throughout are incredible. You'll be Googling away trying to see where they got this or that. The decor is adorable. The amenities are above and beyond and so, so thoughtful. The layout is perfect. The place is truly set up for quality time with loved ones. This was one of my favorite rental places, ever.

Unexpectedly high quality home

We were mightily impressed with this home in Williams. The house was well furnished with quality at every turn. Beds were great. The porch and backyard were perfect (though some bad weather limited our use). There were even luxurious bath robes! Everything was clean and well maintained. We have stayed at many rental properties, beach houses, etc.. You don't expect everything to be perfect like a five-star hotel. This one spoiled us. Well done.

Loved All the details

The most important points to know...1. Extremely clean; 2. Well outfitted kitchen; 3. Comfortable beds and pillows. 4. Location This 3 bedroom home maintains a warm and cozy theme by presenting beds with luxury bedding, thick blankets and floors covered with wool rugs. The galley kitchen has every utensil needed to bake cookies, make toast and coffee, prepare meals for a family or simply microwave a meal from the local Safeway. Bathrooms are outfitted with West Elm and Pottery Barn bath linens and robes in the closets invite you to relax after a day of hiking. I've stayed in a lot of rentals, but this is the prettiest so far. You will not be disappointed.
