"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.

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.
