A Perfect Getaway Week
Our recent stay at "The Ranch" at Mead Ranch wonderful, as it was a perfect blend of activity and down time. From this cozy cabin as our "home base", my wife and I were able to mountain bike, go horseback riding, play pickleball, explore the Tonto Natural Bridge area, antique shop, and simply relax on the porch with our favorite hot or cold drink. The cabin was absolutely perfect for our 5-day stay, complete with any amenity we would need, and the peaceful location was far enough in the woods to provide a temporary escape from our hectic lives. The property owner was extremely responsive to any questions we had ahead of time, and we're already looking forward to another visit in the near future.

Very enjoyable stay…
The property was very complete and in a very quiet neighborhood. The county maintained roads to the property off of Highway 260 were in excellent condition. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing vacation.

Cabin in the woods
We really enjoyed the solitude. It was a little off the beaten path, but not too far. The cabin was very clean and had an adorable patriotic theme throughout. Well stocked. Janet was a very good host and gave great directions to the cabin. Loved our time there.

I’ve never sat on a porch and just listened to the wind, it was so peaceful. And most importantly, quiet! Janet was amazing
