Really nice cabin that comes well-stocked with everything you need. Just a heads up for future guests: it is definitely off the beaten path and requires a long drive on a dirt road to access. It is the perfect spot if you are looking for peace and quiet!

Quiet Get Away

Great cabin with wood deck. Love indoor wood burning fire place, full kitchen and living area. Also loved outdoor fire pit. It had all the necessities for home away from home. Lots of peace and quiet. A short drive to the lakes and hiking trails.

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.

Thank you Janet for the wonderful welcome and stay! It is very close to many hiking trails throughout.I would recommend putting some reflector lights or a sign of some sort where the dip is by the water runoff. The left side of the camper near the trash can area, is hard to see that dip when backing up.We enjoyed the quiet and relaxing outdoor area. Lots of stargazing at night time as well! Loralee

Had a great weekend off the grid. Cabin is so close to the Mogollon Rim and we spent the weekend exploring! Wonderful place to return to at the end of the day. Fully equipped kitchen and wonderful outdoor deck with grill. Very quiet neighborhood. A great place to relax!

Very well equipped home with nothing missing. Nicely decorated and the setting is lovely. It was cold and snowy but eventually warmed up for taking walks. The internet never was usable…possibly weather related.

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.
