Nestled in the quiet Red Lake area just outside Williams, your home offers a serene retreat surrounded by state-owned land and open forest. With few neighbors and little traffic, its's the perfect spot to disconnect and enjoy nature. Take peaceful walks along the dirt roads, where you're likely to spot elk roaming feely and hear nothing but the wind through the juniper trees and pinion pines. Please note: Due to our natural forested surroundings, occasional sightings of insects or desert critters (such as ants, beetles, or harmless spiders) may occur. Regular pest control is performed, but total exclusion cannot be guaranteed
Entire space minus the shed outside and locked closet in the master bathroom are included in this rental. Please, make yourself at home.

Our property is best accessed by car or truck. From Williams, take AZ-64 North for approximately 12 miles, then turn right onto Hoctor Road. Make your very first right onto the dirt road North 8 Mile Boulevard. Continue for 2 miles. The house is located on the left side, at the end of the circular driveway.
Ample free parking is available on the premises. Park only on the circular driveway or parking area on the right side of the house.
Public transportation options are limited in this rural area. We recommend guests have their own vehicle for convenience.
The Grand Canyon South Rim is approximately a 40-minute drive north. Downtown Williams, known for its historic Route 66 charm, is a 15-minute drive south.
Although T-Mobile usually does fine, cell service can be spotty in certain areas. We recommend downloading offline maps prior to your arrival.
Please remember that you're staying in a house, not a hotel. Please treat the space with respect. If any problems arise, we will do our best to take action ASAP, but there is no one living on site 24/7.
