Snuggled in a blanket of aromatic pines and whispering breezes, 18 newly renovated cottages welcome visitors to a world where nature's beauty stretches in every direction. Escape to a cozy cottage setting with rustic furnishings, comfortable beds, with microwave ovens, coffee makers, and refrigerators. Breathtaking views feature the towering spire of Bill William's mountain, whose peak touches the clouds at 9,200 feet. Hiking, mountain biking, bird watching, and other outdoor activities abound, and the Grand Canyon is a short drive north on scenic Highway 64.
You'll find this updated older motel on the eastern outskirts of Williams, tucked against the trees. While the setting and new rooms in duplex flagstone cottages are nice enough, the real attractions are the railroad cars parked in the front yard. You can stay in a caboose or a Pullman car, which makes this a fun place to overnight if you're planning on taking the excursion train to the Grand Canyon. I prefer the caboose rooms, which have a more authentic feel. A horseshoe pit, swing set, board games, a fire ring, propane barbecues, and a nature trail provide plenty of entertainment for the whole family.
