Spacious, but some issues...
Review Submitted: August 9, 2009
Date of Stay: July 2009
We stayed for a week in July. Flagstaff and food were a LONG 15 miles (we clocked the nearest grocery store at 20+ miles). There was plenty of space, but we found that the linens on the beds were worn (flannel - in July) and in the case of two bedrooms, stained. The towels were in good shape, but we felt that the overall property (with the exception of the living room) was becoming worn. It may be located near a national forest, but also know that the property is surrounded by other homes. We went for a walk one night (the only way out to the main road is on a neighbors property) and we were chased by the neighbor's (not too friendly looking) dogs. The owner mentioned elk walking by - but every property around us was fenced in - no elk for us. Also know that while there is a beautiful deck upstairs there are no seats on it - no where for folks to relax. We felt that property description was misleading and we were disappointed in the accommodations.
Owner's Response: I am sorry to hear that you were disappointed in the accomodations, I try to exceed the expectations of my guests!
I do apologize for the conditions of the sheets. I had a caretaker during July, apparently she got behind on laundry and used my extra sheets I keep for guests that might have kids sleeping on the floor or using tents. I normally have only linens in new condition in use, and clean the property myself so I am always sure it is in top condition.
The property location is accurately described in the website (as you stated 15 miles from Flagstaff), it is rural but not remote. There is a convenience store 3 miles from the Ranch.
I do have outdoor furniture, it often is moved by guests to suit their needs. I do try to keep chairs on the upstairs deck for enjoying the incredible view of the peaks and sunrise.
The property is bordered on the south side by forest service land. There is also a gate here for easy access to trails from the Ranch property.
I live nearby and Flagstaff and am available by phone to assist with any questions and make sure my guests are comfortable - please don't hesitate to call!
