"AMAZING" will best describe your vacation at our beautiful two-story farmhouse that sits high on a hill overlooking 10 breathtaking wooded-acres of mountainous views that can be seen from the grand wrap-around porch. Don't be surprised to see deer or elk wandering the property visiting in the early mornings. We offer a getaway experience for the entire family with plenty to do at the "Big D Ranch" without ever having to leave the property.

Fun outdoor amenities include 2 hammocks under the trees, horseshoe pit, corn hole, tether ball, swing set and plenty of room to explore and hike the area. Feel free to add onto the little forts that other guests have started. The property is completely fenced including the livestock being fenced separate from the hiking/exploring area. Bunnies dig under, deer might jump over, but everything else stays put. Flagstone patio includes dining table, children's picnic table & chairs, wicker couches and chairs, outdoor fire place, firewood, Gas BBQ grill and propane. THIS IS YOUR DESIGNATED SMOKING AREA. DUE TO EXTREME FOREST FIRE DANGER, PLEASE ONLY SMOKE IN THIS AREA. NO EXCEPTIONS. PLEASE USE THE PROVIDED BUTT RECEPTACLE.

You will also get to meet and pet the pigs, horses, goats and donkeys from the outside of their pasture. There are also chickens and turkeys but they aren't as social.

Indoor amenities include a claw-foot bathtub, Jacuzzi tub, front-load washer/dryer, fireplace, books, Kid's Korral Play room, 3 flatscreen TV's, DVD player, board games for all ages, and an indoor fireplace.

Well-stocked kitchen includes: dishes, utensils, coffee cups, glasses, ( including plastic for the little ones, even bibs ) pots & pans, bake ware, serving bowls and platters, Kitchen Aid mixer, popcorn-popper, blender, pancake griddle, waffle maker, Keurig, drip and French Press coffee makers, coffee grinder, Crock Pot, ice maker, ice cream maker and an electric fry pan. Spice cabinet contains a small selection of the popular spices but can change from time-to-time. Please check upon your arrival to see if your favorite spice is there.

FOR THE TINY TOTS:
As parents ourselves, we realize how difficult it can be to pack all you need when vacationing with the tiniest of travelers. We hope the highchair, pack and play, toddler bed, full size crib, baby monitor, baby bath, car booster seat, dinner table booster seat, swing, soothing vibrations bouncer, stroller, child's hiking backpack, fold and go bassinet, toy box full of toys, games, plastic plates/ sippy cups/bibs and a child safety gate will help to relieve some of your concerns. You will find these items in one of 3 places. In Kids Korral ( where you will find LOADS of toys), in the closet under the stairs, or upstairs on the landing. There is a Toddler Bed and Crib on the landing.

The Big D Ranch is just off Hwy 64 which leads directly to the south rim of the Grand Canyon via a short, 40 minute drive. The Ranch, which borders the Kaibab National Forest, is just a 5-minute drive to Kaibab Lake where you can hike, fish ( fishing poles, tackle box, binoculars and camp chairs are in the mud room) or just have a picnic. Ice chest for you to use is on the porch. The mudroom is also where you will find first aid, Bar B Q utensils, marshmallow sticks, random hats and bags.

Please "Like" and follow us on our Facebook page "The Big D Ranch" where you will find additional information and pictures.

Excellent place to stay!
The Big D Ranch was a beautiful place to stay. It has amazing views out of every window or all around the outside of the house. The grandkids loved their stay as well as the adults. Everyone hated to leave this beautiful ranch.

Don’t miss this fabulous house!
We had a wonderful stay at the ranch. The home was comfortable and was in a great, central location to everything we wanted to see. Communication was great. I loved the website sent by the owner I could put in my phone like an app. And the interactive board in the kitchen was really useful. This was one of the best VBRO places we have stayed.

Great house great location
My family and I stayed here for three nights. Plenty of room and well stocked kitchen. Close to town for shopping and just the right distance to GC NP. After morning hikes in the park it was a great place to unwind without the crowds.

The kids think it's better than the Grand Canyon!
The ranch was amazing! It had everything we needed and then some. We even got to make homemade ice cream with the ice cream maker! The friendliness of the owner made us feel very welcome right from the start. Our children even asked to leave the Grand Canyon early so they could spend more time at the Ranch!

Beautiful house and setting
We loved this house - it felt homey and cozy and the patio was fantastic. It was clean and well-appointed and so close to the Grand Canyon. When we left, we actually said it was the first rental we've ever stayed in that was nicer than the photos. The pictures don't do it justice - it's a gorgeous home!

The property is in an excellent location, well positioned between the Grand Canyon and Sedona.
