Nestled within Arizona’s Apache
national forest is a luxurious
ranch resort called Hidden
Meadow Ranch. The resort is
surrounded by a national forest in
the White Mountains of Arizona.
It is charming, majestic, and
filled with nature’s wonder. And
because of this scenic backdrop
coupled with luxury services,
cuisine and amenities, Hidden
Meadow Ranch tops our list of
romantic luxury getaways.
No matter where you’re
from or what lifestyle
you’re used to, you’ll
find that Hidden
Meadow Ranch is set to impress.
If you’re used to gourmet meals,
you’ll be delighted by the chef’s
creations, which rival Michelin star
restaurants. You will be served
gourmet and customized meals for
breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Want
all organic? You got it. Gluten free
and vegan? No problem!
Traveling with your kids? Children
can go to the kitchen and be
taught by the chefs. Coming for a
romantic vacation? Don’t worry –
children have their own separate
dinner seating.
The Ranch staff would also be
delighted to serve you breakfast in
your cabin, at the ranch or in the
great outdoors. Guests can request
their meals be packed for hikes,
canoe trips, trail rides, picnics, and
other outdoor activities. We loved
having breakfast in our cabin,
lunch outdoors and dinner at the
casually elegant (and very cozy)
Ranch House.
Guests are welcome to have their
campfire breakfasts and picnics
in two areas: the Meadow Pond
and the Trout Pond. Besides, what
better way to enjoy the American
outback than to have a picnic
lunch or a bonfire out where you
can experience all the wilderness
has to offer?
Guests are housed in luxurious
and private two-story luxury
cabins close to nature. Outside
your window is a wooden fence
with beautiful and friendly horses,
waiting to be ridden.
Warm weather activities start
in spring, continue throughout
summer, and end in the last few
weeks of autumn. Guests can go
horseback riding, hiking, mountain
biking, fishing, or learn the art
or archery, and craft of working
with leather, wood, and silver.
Tired? Feel free to hang out in the outdoor Jacuzzi, pet the horses, or
read a book by the fireplace in your
cabin. Additional activities during
winter time include sledding, ice
fishing, skiing and snowboarding at
Sunrise Ski resort, snowshoeing, and
snowman building.
Day tours are led by the Ranch’s staff
where guests are brought to historical
museums and archaeological sites.
Stargazing and constellation classes
are available at night while Apache
dances and storytelling is also
available during the day.
The Ranch Roundup is catered to the
children where they will enjoy arts and
crafts and elk scouting. Team penning
and overnight pack trips are also
available for groups of friends and
bigger families.
The activities, gourmet dining, and
venue are exuding with Americana
culture set in the outback of Arizona.
With the many wonders the Ranch
and nature provides, it is quite hard to
not have a great time. The only stress
we had all week was the thought of
leaving.
