Meanwhile Back At the Ranch

Just called to find out this B&B closes during the «seasonal heat» as the proprietor put it. They reopen mid-​October. We’ll keep the ranch in mind for our next cool weather road trip. The stars are required in order to post this info.

Been coming to this ranch for YEARS. It has quite an interesting history and the friendly owner, Joy, will fill you in on all the tales. The once busy guest ranch that hosted large parties, weddings, and accommodated small parties of overnight guests has since turned into a quiet rustic bed and breakfast (one single fully equipped cabin with a queen sized bed — perfect for couples wanting seclusion) is a perfect little escape whether you want to stay for a night or if you want to just stop by to take in the beautiful Arizona desert. This no frills quaint place is a perfect escape from any busy city lifestyle… and makes a perfect hub for hiking some of the most beautiful trails. If you haven’t been by… you should stop to say hi to Joy, check out the nicknacks and collectables in the little gift shop, and take in the beauty of the desert. Just a neat and unique spot.

I’mFor my birthday my husband bought me a night at «Mean While Back at the Ranch» bed and breakfast so that we could do a couple of hikes in the Superstition Mountains. It is a quaint old school Arizona bed and breakfast with the comforts of home. Our hostess, Joy was just a treat giving us good suggestions for dinner in Apache Junction, made us feel as comfortable as could be in one of her cabins, (the tack room from the ranch). Our breakfast was in the refrigerator in our room and was banana bread, orange juice, coffee, fresh fruit, trail mix for the hike, yogurt, pretzels, really very nice. You can enjoy the front porch to watch the sunset in the west or sit on the patio behind the cabin and view the mountains to the east.
There is a trail that leaves right from her property that connects to the Flat Iron trail and Siphon Draw trail.
We woke in the morning to the Flat Iron right out of our window, mule deer grazing 15 feet from our cabin.
For a unique, fun, pleasant, rustic experience give Mean While Back at the Ranch B&B a try… you’ll like it!
