Best in the West
This was our second time back- the first was so good we wanted a repeat. The home owner, Gwyn is a wonderful woman with a lifetime of unbelievable experiences. She’s a true gem in hospitality, history, and culture. We use her ranch as a home base to explore the Grand Canyon, Williams, Flagstaff, the top of the mountains, the Deer Farm, the new Williams roller coaster, the train ride at Railway, Sedona, Oak Creek, Cottonwoods, Jerome, and everything in between. Gwyn has a central location where nothing is more than about two hours in any direction. The home is lovely with great beds, sheets, TV room with recliners, a five acre property to wander, and a kitchen the size of Texas.

Great weekend
Shooting at Gunsite, this property is about 5 miles away. It is comfortable, quiet, and well stocked. Has a wonderful huge kitchen stove which we all enjoyed. Beds are comfortable. We will probably return. It was perfect for what we were looking for.

Peaceful quiet home away from home.
This was a peaceful quiet comfortable place for our family to rest after busy days during our Spring break. Gwyn immediately made us feel at home, and it felt like we were staying with our own grandma. We enjoyed the solitude out here. I sat on the porch in the morning at listened to the birds, and the quiet. The kids enjoyed exploring the 5 acre property and playing hide and go seek. I'm not really a VRBO guy. When my wife initially told me we were going to be staying in Paulden at someone else's house, I was skeptical, but I'm not now. I loved it here and would come back.

Delightful
Clean, quiet property with awesome western decor; perfect for this location out West. Gywn is a gem. She even brought Thanksgiving dinner for my husband and me since we had been on the road that Thursday. She is also a wealth of knowledge about the area. Plus, we were able to bring our dog. Really enjoyed our stay.

Ranch House with good vibes
Can't say enough how generous and kind Gwyn is. If you are looking for a stay near the grand canyon or up in this area then look no further if you want a cozy welcoming host!

Gwyn is the best host
The property was very comfortable and spacious, the views were awesome. Gwyn greeted us with a warm homemade dinner and sent us off with one as well. Her space gave us all the comforts of home. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

Lovely Host, Full Bellies, Centrally Located
Gwyn was gracious and helpful. She kept us very well fed and helped direct us to the areas of the state we wanted to visit (Grand Canyon and Sedona). The yard was huge and fit for our dog to run and explore. The morning silence was relaxing, and all you could hear were birds and the nearby horse. The kitchen was amazing, the tv was large, and the reclining chairs comfy. The beds were comfortable as well. We were very thankful to come across Gwyn’s listing!

We will be back.
Loved the property and enjoyed talking with owner. Her breakfast was top notch. Enjoyed the peace and quiet and the isolation that this property provides. We were able to sit out on the porch and star gaze, fired up fire pit and toasted marshmallows and made smores. The next door neighbor had a miniature horse and donkey. Our dog was fascinated by them.
