"Everything in this historic, rustic, quaint and comfortable little home was well described by the hosts. So clean, fresh, tastefully decorated and cozy. It was right on the street as those of its vintage are. So good to have off street parking right by the house. Also appreciated the short distance just down the road to Safeway after a long day. This stay fitted our needs perfectly. A great place to sojourn before the amazing Grand Canyon adventure. THANKYOU!" Nan.

"The owner has done a lot with a very old house to make it inviting and cozy. The beds were comfortable and there were plenty of blankets for cool evenings and a good heating system. The internet is a bit weak but was manageable. It is very easy to get to the main part of Williams and the interstate. All in all we had a very good stay." Anne

"We had a fantastic stay at this charming adobe house in Williams, AZ, right on historic Route 66! The location was ideal, right in town and within walking distance to everything we wanted to explore. It was also just a quick 5-minute drive to Bearizona, which was a major plus for our trip. One of the highlights was getting delicious pie at Pine Country Restaurant, just a short stroll away.
The adobe house itself was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully decorated with everything we needed for our 2-night stay. The outdoor space was perfect for quiet evenings, and we enjoyed relaxing there after our daily adventures. The host was incredibly responsive and helpful, which made our stay even more enjoyable. The neighborhood was quiet and perfect for evening walks.
Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Williams!" Amber

"We were a multi-generational family needing a place to stay for a few nights between Phoenix and Grand Canyon National Park. This place fit our group perfectly and worked great for what we needed. We loved having a washing machine and dryer for dirty hiking clothes and a full kitchen for cooking food. The refrigerator was a little small for us but we made it work. It was close to the grocery store and walkable to a few restaurants. No a/c made it a little warm but it was tolerable with ceiling fans and being able to open a few of the window." Jenna

"We stayed here as we were visiting the Grand Canyon. It was a good size for our family of six, beds for everyone, clean space, close to the store. The unique bedroom set up was different but worked fine for the two nights we stayed."

"Stayed a few nights
This house was perfect for our weekend visit to the Grand Canyon area. Quiet neighborhood, but less than 1/2 mile from Route 66 main drag. Check in was a breeze. The house was well appointed - cozy furniture & decorations (including blankets in the living room, which were much appreciated!), well stocked bathroom and laundry area, and plenty of towels. I would definitely stay here again when visiting the Grand Canyon."
Indrani 2024
Boston, Massachusetts. Rating, 5 stars. Stayed a few nights. I could say more about my recent stay at this cute little place in Williams. Great location for privacy, peace and a nice market within minutes of the house walking distance. The house had vert amenity listed and quite clean. only thing since it is a hilly area, sometimes you feel like you are rolling off the beds, but that's just the terrain in this town. Gina and Alexis were really responsive and would come back if we were visiting Grand Canyon again! It was one of my most reasonable stays so far in airbnb

Carlos 2024
Rancho Santa Margarita, California Rating, 5 stars. Stayed with kids. We booked the house at the last minute for a quick trip to Williams. We weren't expecting too much due to our last minute booking however, the house was great!
We communicated with Gina, our hostess,, that we were arriving late (4am) and she was so nice accepting our request.
The house is super cozy, has 3 rooms, plenty of patio and a great location (2 minutes drive to Safeway store). It was clean. Our kids had plenty of fun time playing in the patio full of snow. For a 100 year-old house, we had a blast !
Looking forward to book again soon.

Aww Carlos! We'd love to have you back. We're thrilled the home was what you'd hoped it would be for you stay and thank you for your 5*!

Las Vegas, December 2023. Stayed with kids. A very cute home! It was perfect for our family trip during Christmas to the Polar Express. Very close to the train depot and the everything in Williams! This was great for us (three adults and one child). A great place to stay for Polar Express and the holiday. A nice kitchen. Good beds. Wonderful backyard area. The hosts were lovely and responsive - everything you would want!

We loved staying here. They were very responsive and helpful when I had questions. The home was comfortable, clean and perfectly placed - walking distance to the historical Route 66 where there are shops and restaurants. And for getting the train to the Grand Canyon.
We will stay again and would recommend Red Door to anyone.

"We enjoyed our stay in William's at The Red Door. The location is great because it's within walking distance of shopping, restaurants, and the train station. There was enough room for our family of six (parents and four teens). The kitchen was well stocked for cooking meals and we enjoyed making s'mores using the fire pit in the backyard. It was a fun stay!"
