Here's what people are saying about Hidden Meadow Ranch:

"Crisp mountain air and a morning hike through freshly fallen snow – the irresistible sparkle of winter sets the stage for frolicking. Pack a wool blanket for horse-drawn sleigh rides through surrounding Apache National Forest at Hidden Meadow Ranch. Outdoor options abound for the active couple, including cross-country skiing and snow-shoeing at this expansive log cabin resort tucked away on 155 acres of winter wonderland. After a day outdoors, settle next to a roaring fire and relish … gourmet meals paired with choice wines. Topping off the evening, s’mores and snifters make an excellent late night aperitif."
Arizona Food & Lifestyles (January 2005)

"All I want for Christmas . . . is a classic Currier & Ives experience. Hidden Meadow Ranch, a luxury guest ranch about 10 miles north of Greer is surrounded by thousand of acres of majestic national forest in eastern Arizona’s White Mountains. Meals often include mini-adventures, such as trail lunches, candlelight mountain dinners, cookout breakfasts featuring Dutch-oven biscuits and gravy, and s’mores around the campfire."
The Arizona Republic (December 12, 2004) – Arizona’s winter wonderlands

"Yes, Robin, you are not in Phoenix anymore as I walked into my two-story, Vermont-style log cabin that looked like something out of a Ralph Lauren catalogue. I was amazed that something so rustic could be so luxurious. Can you say Ritz Carlton in the wilderness?"
Coldwell Banker Previews International (September 2004) – On The Road With Arizona Highways

"More than 30 years ago, Tim Bolinger based his graduate thesis on a luxury resort in the White Mountains, but the opportunity to make his dream a reality did not present itself until 2000. ‘Escape from everything but luxury’ is the motto of Hidden Meadow Ranch, which was featured as a ‘great escape’ in Scottsdale Magazine and served as the backdrop for a Land’s End catalog spread."
Mountain Skies (Summer 2004) – Rustic White Mountain luxury: The pampered tourist

"Flexibility was the watchword for hotel developer Timothy Bolinger, who opened Hidden Meadow Ranch, a lodge and private-ranch club in the White Mountains of Arizona, in September 2002. Guests can stay the night at one of Hidden Meadow’s luxury log cabins, or buy land on which to build, or become fractional owners, buying only as much time as they expect to spend at the facility each year. The White Mountains of Arizona have always drawn on a local clientele. The attractions, particularly for desert dwellers, are cool summer weather at 7,200 feet, ample opportunities for winter skiing and the largest ponderosa-pine forest in the U.S. ‘We’ve set records over the past four years as demand seems to outpace supply,’ says Steve Dolan of Frank M. Smith & Associates Realty."
Barron’s (May 31, 2004) – Paradise Found

"For those seeking adventure in the great outdoors while enjoying creature comforts, Hidden Meadow Ranch may be the place. You’ll think you’ve gone back to the Old West as you are escorted to your cabin by a cowboy on horseback, but once inside, you’ll find all of the luxuries and amenities of an upscale resort."
The Arizona Republic (February 8, 2004) – Romantic inns offer lovebirds cozy nesting spots

" ‘Of course we can!' ‘Whatever you'd like.' ‘Sure, we can do that.' That seems to be the mantra for employees at the Hidden Meadow Ranch, who work not far from the small northeastern Arizona town of Greer, in the White Mountains. Whether it's preparing a special food item, or taking a horseback ride or making a leather-tooled belt, Hidden Meadow Ranch staff typically follows one agenda: yours. . . . The staff has been selected carefully, not only for their terrific attitudes and helpfulness, but for going beyond what is in the job description."
Ocotillo/Southern Chandler News (August 16, 2003) – My kind of "rustic"

"Last summer, they opened Hidden Meadow Ranch, converting 10 down-on-their-luck blue-spruce log cabins into a luxurious but laid-back mountain hideaway for couples seeking quiet or families out for uncomplicated adventures: trout fishing, hiking, horseback riding or simply watching the clouds pass overhead while lying in a meadow of flowers."
Arizona Foothills Magazine (July 2003) – The Best Arizona Mountain Getaway You Don't Know About

"A weekend or more at hidden Meadow Ranch provides everything necessary for quiet couple or family time. The level of service is unsurpassed. Upon realizing we'd come without our birding binoculars, we called to see if the ranch might have a pair to borrow. Within minutes binoculars were delivered to our cabin. . . . Next trip we'll reserve time to cast for trout in the ranch's privately stocked spring-fed trout pond, and to do more hiking in the area. This beautiful, isolated place deserves to be savored over time."

"Nestled deep in the National Forest of Arizona's White Mountains, this luxurious retreat might be just the change of venue you or your sales people need to get the creative juices flowing, develop a strategic plan, or just relax and recuperate. From the moment you're greeted at the Welcome Cabin, you know this place is different. Naturally there's the crisp, clean air, breathtaking scenery, and quiet calm that draws countless thousands to the White Mountains each year, but there's something else here too – something wonderful and completely unexpected at 8,500 feet in the middle of nowhere: Fabulous service. The kind of service you get at a five-star resort, along with a gourmet chef, luxury appointments, and all the charm of a boutique hotel."

White Mountain Outdoors (December 2002) – Escape From Everything But Luxury

"WOW!!!!!!
That sounds like such a simple, understated response, but let me tell you, that’s all I could say when I first took a look at the photos from the stunningly beautiful Hidden Meadow Ranch. I yearn to set foot on the property myself! I cannot wait to show you the first spread that will spotlight your establishment. The film is so mind-blowingly beautiful, everyone here swore we hired a bunch of actors/models. Everyone looks so natural, so at ease in their surroundings. Their joy at being able to work at such an amazing place comes through on their faces. HMR was by far the jewel of our trip. Arizona is incredible, but you have something very special. I can’t help but think our customers will respond the same."
