The house sat on two fenced acres which was mostly why we picked it. Our dog loved the freedom to run around. The walk to the lake was gorgeous and peaceful. The house had what we needed, as others have mentioned, it’s older so keep that in mind if you need fancy brand new interiors. It was exceptionally clean and just great for our escape from the Vegas heat.

Off the beaten path and away from the city lights. Pet and kid friendly. Stayed for a long summer weekend with the whole family. Very accommodating.

My family and I had the greatest time at this Parks location. It is close to Williams and Flagstaff. The remote feature...if you are a star gazer, this place is for you.
My eight year old granddaughter rated this location five stars.
The best feature is that the location is close to the forest preserve and the hiking trail is great. My dogs gave that a five wags rating.
If I plan another trip for Northern Arizona, I will use this location again.

We really enjoyed our stay. This place is family friendly and is equipped with everything you need.

The house was nice and clean and good size for us, our three teens and dogs. The large yard is fenced and our dogs could have stayed out there all day! My teens didn’t quite appreciate it as much because of the no wi-fi. We have AT&T and I was hoping for better service but it was hit and miss to say the least. Next time we’ll just leave the teens at home! Lol

We had a great stay at Chris's property.
Almost everything we needed was available in the home. The only thing we found would be helpful is a measuring cup (there could have been one and I just did not find it) and a clearer address visible from the street.
We recommend this property and are considering booking a stay over the summer.

We wanted a rural cabin, the location was perfect. The property was extremely difficult to find because the address was very small and inconspicuous. In addition, the VRBO picture of the property is the view from the back yard, not the view from the front street or side street, therefore if you are driving around looking for the house in the picture, you will not see it from the road.
The mosquitos were unbearable, thousands swarming at all times (even in full sun) day and night, there is no way to escape them, many even got inside the house despite our best efforts to keep them out, be sure to bring a lot of repellant. We all (humans and dogs) left with many bites even though we were all wearing mosquito spray.
There is no wifi and cellular service does not work in the house but it did work if you go for a drive down the road.
The house was very clean. There were a lot of hummingbirds and that was very nice, we would have liked to sit outside and watch them but could not do that without being attacked by mosquitos. It was nice to wake up to roosters crowing and to have a large fenced yard so the dogs could run and play. We rented a home in a rural area where we could enjoy the outdoors for a long weekend, and this home had all the enjoyable qualities but the mosquito problem made it impossible to be outside, so we spent most or our time indoors and that was quite disappointing.

First of all, Chris was excellent at communication. Their location gives you the off grid feeling, but still close to some services. According to the property info the lake was said to be a 10min walk. However, we rode bikes and it was actually about a 12-15min ride, so we assume walking will be longer. Lastly, if mosquitoes like you, it’s highly recommended to bring repellent in the warm months as they made a feast of us! We thought we were safe in the house, and the last night we noticed an old gash in the kitchen window screen which explained why so many were swarming in the house. All in all, it was still a wonderful experience for people to spend quality time.

Wonderful Week in Parks
My family loved our time at this house. It more than met our needs. The hike down to the lake was also a great hike and the scenery was gorgeous. Only an hour and 20 minute drive to the South Rim made this location perfect for our family. We will do this again!

No mobile service
We booked a stay in December 2021 and did not stay here at all. We ended up booking another place the same night since there was no mobile reception in the house at all. The listing states that there is no wifi but excellent mobile reception. We had two different carriers in our family and no one had any bars. This was a working vacation and we needed to be able to use our mobile hotspot and could not. The road into the property was also very difficult in the wintery weather. The owner did not refund any part of our stay even though the mobile service was misrepresented. We were so stressed out and ended up going over budget on this vacation since we had to pay premium to pay for another place to stay. The owner could have at least refunded up part of our stay. If you need any cell reception, I would not recommend this place.

Peace & quiet
It was exactly what we needed. Quiet, wonderful room for our city dog to run, gorgeous views and the perfect location to experience the Grand Canyon, Flagstaff and Sedona. The kids LOVED the trampoline too!

Wonderful home to stay in while visiting Grand Canyon and other area attractions. There is plenty of room in the house. Anything you can think of is provided, the only things you need to bring are your clothes. The stars are amazing and watching the hummingbirds on the deck was so relaxing. The drive back on the gravel road was very scenic, we saw lots of elk. I only saw one neighbor mowing their grass so maybe not mowing the grass is an Arizona thing, but the grass was so long that the kids couldn’t play in the fenced in yard, that is the only negative thing. Will stay here again when in the area. Thank you Chris for a wonderful experience.

This house was a great home base for day trips. We saw so much of Arizona that we haven't seen! Bearizona is a must! My children did have a hard time not having WiFi. I thought they could attach to my hotspot on my phone but the cell service was spotty for us.

It fit our needs very well
We are a family of five (children 18-20-22) there was enough room for all of us to fit comfortably. There was a lot of attention paid by the owners to the needs of those staying at their home. There were plenty of supplies (bedding/ cooking utensils/ etc.) The road getting to the home is a way off the main roads (gravel/ unpaved) but it adds to the RUSTIC appeal of the home and area.

Cute home with lots of rustic feel. Loved how quiet the area was, and such beautiful scenery. Easy to communicate with manager and access the home. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to visit the area and get away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Grand Canyon/Sedona trip
Great home base for day trips to the Grand Canyon and Sedona. The area is peaceful, and the home was perfectly comfortable for us. The boys loved the yard - tire swing, swing set and trampoline we’re great after long drives. Would definitely recommend!

We had the best time with our recent AZ stay here. Everything that the listed noted was right on and we absolutely enjoyed it. Chris was very hospitable and very responsive to our initial questions before we reserved. We highly recommend this property as a place to get away, very quiet and away from the cities, but close enough to get to Williams or Flagstaff within 30 minutes.We rode in/rode out from the property each day on our UTVs and we’re able to travel out on miles and miles of roads/trails in all directions. Be sure and visit the General Store in Parks, AZ for some really good food too!! Thank you Chris for the opportunity to stay at your place and we would love the opportunity to come back and stay again in the near future.Darrin Lewis
