Clean, comfortable, and fully stocked — your easy home base near Grand Canyon West.

The Basin House is located in the foothill community of Meadview — a quiet desert town known for having one of the densest Joshua Tree forests in the region.

The home sits in a residential area with neighbors nearby, while still offering open desert views, peaceful surroundings, and big skies.
Out back, you’ll see the Grand Wash Cliffs canyon views, and from the front, you can enjoy soft desert sunrises and glowing sunsets. At night, the skies turn dark and clear — perfect for stargazing.

Inside, the home is spacious, spotless, and very comfortable — exactly as guests describe. It’s thoughtfully stocked with everything you need, making your stay easy from the moment you arrive. The bedrooms are designed for rest, with blackout curtains for deep, uninterrupted sleep.

*King bed in the master and two queen bedrooms
*Full kitchen and cozy den
*Spacious parking with room for boats and RVs
*High-speed Starlink WiFi and Netflix

You’re just minutes from essentials, yet still enjoy that peaceful, off-the-beaten-path feel guests love:
*5 minutes to restaurants, shops, and Gas n Grub
*Nearby hiking trails and access to the Grand Wash Cliffs
*40 minutes to Grand Canyon West and Skywalk
*Easy drive to Lake Mead, Hoover Dam, and Las Vegas

Whether you’re here to explore or unwind, guests often say the home has everything they need and more — and that they would happily stay again.

    10, 10, 10, 10 for our family of 4 this was the perfect house. It was well stocked and the location was incredible. We did many walks, the neighborhood was wonderful with lovely restaurants that served delicious food and wonderful towns folk who were very friendly. The views though! They were remarkable!!! The canyon views from the back yard alone, and not to mention the night sky! My children were able to spot multiple constellations including the Big Dipper, visible with the naked eye. Thank you Tippi for an unforgettable stay!

    We can’t fault this property, as it is worth every penny and more! The house is immaculately clean and well equipped with everything you could ask for. The beds and sofa were so comfortable and lovely showers and bathrooms. We loved sitting on the patio in the evening and watching the stars and shooting stars. just beautiful! Not used to seeing such clear night skies coming from UK! The location was great, just 40 mins drive from west Grand Canyon with views of the Grand Canyon from the patio. We ate at boathouse cafe and grille for dinner and breakfast which was lovely. Locals are all so friendly. Tipi was an amazing host, right from the start in giving directions and check in instructions. We felt very well looked after throughout our stay. Thank you. Would definitely recommend this property for anyone who wants to experience the west Grand Canyon and perfect for families

    This is a very nice property and everything went as planned. We checked in at 4PM and we checked out at 7:54AM and all was nice and quiet! Everything worked well and I would recommend this property even though you have a short drive on a dirt road to get to it. My cell phone didn't work in Meadview but the property had wifi that worked fine.

    Wow! is an understatement for this fabulous property. This is a beautiful, well-appointed home. Fantastic communication with the property owner. Plus, the house it even better than advertised with everything required to enjoy this desert paradise. The only regret I have is we didn't stay the whole week. Excellent proximity to Grand Canyon West. Don't miss the kind folks at Fisherman's Landing in town. Thanks again for allowing us to stay!

    The house was everything Tippi advertise it to be! Our group wanted to check off two things on our bucket list in the Grand Canyon and Hoover dam and this property was in a great location to allow for a reasonable travel time to both. We were looking to find a nice place for a good price and when I found this listing it appeared to be exactly what the 3 of us were hoping for. The three bedrooms each had comfortable beds, the kitchen was well equipped and there were two seating areas to relax in. The house would be good for up to 3 couples to stay in or a family of six with a wonderful master bedroom w/bath and then two rooms on the other side with a bathroom for those guests.

    This VRBO is a pure delight with modern amenities and a view of the Grand Wash Cliffs to the northeast and visible from almost all windows. It is peacful and we slept great! Seeing the Milky Way and stars, planets at night was an extra plus! We also drove to the Hualapai-managed West Rim of the Grand Canyon our first day and took the bus tour. PERFECT distance and a perfect day trip. DO IT! Such a treat to experience the Meadview, AZ lifestyle for a couple of days in this comfy, clean and well-managed home. Hated to leave.

    The house is very clean and comfortable. The neighborhood is quiet. The stillness and the view of the canyon offers a great way to relax after a busy day. We stayed to visit the West Rim and we found Lake Mead with the Colorado River pouring in. Absolutely beautiful. Our host is a true professional. Her communications were A+.

    This place was amazing- absolutely beautiful. The inside was clean and well stocked. The outside view was stunning from the canyon view during the day to the star gazing at night. We even caught a glimpse of the wild life. We enjoyed everything about our stay except for the heat. Thanks for a wonderful family visit
