This beautifully decorated, multi-level home, is located on 5-acres in the tall pines of Kaibab National Forest. Nestled in Parks midway between Flagstaff and Williams, this location allows easy access to many attractions such as National Parks, hiking trails, ski slopes, museums, etc. You can also just relax on the porch or play yard games. This is not your typical commercial rental unit! It's our family vacation home that we lovingly decorated with antiques gathered through the years. We would be delighted to have you stay here and hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
The Space:
Welcome to Mountain Time Manor! Our home is the perfect choice for groups, families or gatherings of friends looking for a comfortable place to stay. With 6 bedrooms, 4 full baths and two generous common areas, you'll have plenty of room to relax and unwind.
When you turn onto the Forest Service Road, there will be two gates to open. There might be cows on the National Forest land. If the gates are open, leave them open. If the gates are closed, kindly close them behind you and drive on up to park in the 4-car driveway or the expansive 2-car garage, there is also additional parking available anywhere on the gravel.
When you come into the house through the garage, you can drop your coats and boots off in the mudroom. The laundry room right next door is equipped with a full size washer, dryer, ironing board and full bath. Walking into the main house, you will find a spacious, fully stocked kitchen, breakfast nook and adjacent dining room. Down the hall is a full bathroom and three guest rooms, affectionately named the Cowboy Room, the Ansel Adams Room and the Band Room. In accordance with the antique decorating style, all the beds are full sized because that was the only size in the olden days.
The living room hosts an old wood burning stove that keeps the majority of downstairs warm. The entire house is climate controlled with AC and heater as well. The stairs lead up to the large second story living area with two bedrooms, a full bathroom and a kitchenette, perfect for lounging, watching movies or playing games. One room has two double beds and the other has two twin beds. Both rooms upstairs have cozy window nooks for reading, watching wildlife or just enjoying the scenic views of the forest. Due to the stairs, please understand the second level is not recommended for mobility impaired persons.
At the foot of the stairs, you will find the master bedroom. This is where you'll find a convenient workspace with a tabletop computer, fast speed internet and a printer available for your use. The attached custom master bath boasts a claw foot bathtub to soak and relax from the day's activities.
You can go straight out the front door to relax on the wrap around porch, read on the porch swing or play bowling ball croquet in the front yard. Speaking of the outdoors, our home offers a large sandstone patio designed for social gatherings with a table, plenty of seating, a fire pit and BBQ grill for your enjoyment. You'll notice an original historic building built in the 1800's opposite the driveway. There's also an original outhouse to go with it. Though you can't take a peek inside, please enjoy our own little piece of Arizona heritage from the outside.
The hosts are just a quick phone call away if you should need anything...
Guest Access:
You will enter through the side garage door. The home utilizes a key lockbox. Codes are emailed with check-in instructions by VRBO 48 hours prior to arrival.
Other Things to Note:
Please keep dogs on leash when outside at all times. Although the property is entirely fenced, it is not secure enough to keep dogs in. Our neighbors have livestock and we cannot risk dogs chasing them or the cows that graze on forest land across the road.
In the winter time, Old Highway 66 and Spring Valley Road are plowed by the County road crews. Forest Service 440 Road is plowed by the residents who live along the road. We will clear Forest Service 440 Road and the driveway of snow before you arrive but in the chance that it snows while you are staying here, guests can either drive over the snow or clear the snow with shovels provided in the shed. Be aware that when snow melts, it turns to ice overnight, so be careful walking and driving. Behind the garage, there is a shed where you can find a snow shovel, broom and squeegee for snow removal.
