• The good and the bad

  3/5

  I booked to stay at this location for 26 days. The initial reservation advertisement was misleading and not with complete disclosure on what is, and what is not available with this property. When my final payment went through, I found out the bad news. The Garage and Master Bedroom and Master Bathroom are locked off, and not allowed access. I quickly called the owner and was allowed access to the garage. I commend her on that part, as the garage is prominently displayed in 3 of the advertisement photographs. However, no access to the Master Bedroom or Master Bathroom. Lighting in the evenings is poor, and during the daytime it is barely noticeable when the lights are turned on. I told my father I had to use a flashlight in the bedroom to find things in my suitcase, the drawers and in the closet. Telephone reception for me (using Google Fi) was zero. If you have Google Fi, get rid of it, you will not have any telephone reception for that service in this place. Not sure about other carriers. Hot water, you need to speak with the owner about the hot water, and when you would like to use it. She showed me how to turn it on, due to it being on a timer. The home is listed for four people. Think about this now, four adults, one toilet, one sink, one shower. My daughter came to stay two weekends and waiting for use of the toilet while she was in the shower was not nice and having to schedule your morning around a woman in the shower, the only shower is a bit tasking and time,. How will all be able to take care of things equally. You make your own determination. The kitchen is fully stocked as far as cook ware, dishes and silverware. I did not use the grill or the back yard. Overall, the place was ok, but if I had known what was not accessible for me, (my children did visit on weekends), what was locked off from use and not explained in the advertisement, I would not have rented this place. I asked for a 33% refund due to the house not being completely available to me as was advertised, but that is still pending. The owner, Sarah, is very nice and we spoke about her advertisement, and I think she changed it now, so it is more accurate. She allowed me access to the garage, when I asked about the hot water, she was quick to let me know how to change it. The neighborhood is great, except for all the VRBOs. Sad that this flood of VRBOs has happened to my small little town. I grew up in Williams. It is like transient living now.You make your own choice

  Manager's Response:

  Hi Kurt, we always appreciate hearing from our guests, but the homeowner would like to take a moment to clarify a few things raised in your review:
  - The listing advertises that this is a 2 bedroom and 1 bathroom rental so that guests can be aware of exactly what's available in the home. We also only advertise "driveway and street parking", as the garage is not available for guest use. It is up to the guests to decide if this will work for their needs before booking the home.
  - There are lamps on both bed side tables in each bedroom in addition to the fan light but we're sorry to hear that this lighting did not meet your personal preferences.
  - We have a circulator on our hot water heater to allow for instant hot water, especially in the winter months. This pump cannot run 24/7 and is on a timer during the middle of the day when few people take showers. There is plenty of hot water, it just takes a long time to get to the bathroom especially in colder weather.
  We do all we can to make the best possible stay, and we look forward to this property hosting many satisfied guests.

  Great place to stay with best stocked VRBO we have ever stayed at. Did not like having to remove shoes when entering home.

• Nice Property!

  5/5

  Property was as describe. This property is nicely located for direct route to Grand Canyon. Also not far from Sedona and Flagstaff but out of the city. There are also plenty of things to do in Williams just 5 minutes away. The house is located in a golf community providing for nice walks in the mornings and evenings. Furnishings are very comfortable and inside is as described in posting. Enjoyed sitting on the patio after our daily adventures. I would choose to stay here again!
