    This review is long overdue. We stayed here in October of 2017…read more The cabin was clean and had everything you would need already stocked minus the food. After we arrived and unpacked we made a quick trip to nearby grocery store were we bought everything we needed for a weekend. We actually even ran into the owners at the grocery store. They are very friendly and always make it clear that if you need anything to ask them and they will provide. The cabins are far enough from the main road that you aren't bothered from the small town traffic noise and spaced out enough that you feel like its just you and your cabin in the middle of the woods. We stayed at one of their pet friendly cabins and I brought along with me my German Shepherd. We already are planning on returning this year in fall/winter time with a couple of friends, can't wait!

    First of all there is no lighting or signage directing you where to go so we had a very hard time…read morefinding the cabin. When we eventually found it, we had no way to get in. We had booked on AirBnB and are familiar with that process. The check in instructions on the app and in the email said to contact the host for check in instructions. We sent a message to them on the app and got no response. We called their phone number shown on their listing. It is not an operational number. We ended up having to call the AirBnB customer service number. They were also unable to get ahold of the host. AirBnB refunded our money and we had to check into a motel nearby. It was a long frustrating night.

    2.5 stars. First time to the white mountains. The grounds are pretty nice. There is volleyball and…read morea nice hammock and a little play set for younger kids 8 or younger. There are 2 areas to fish from. They have a Jon Boat, peddle boat, and kayaks that are available for free on a first come/first served basis but only during office hours 9-4pm. There is a bigger boat for rent but it was broken. There were lots of trees and shade which we liked. We stayed in the Ash cabin. It was not great. It is old. The "comfort zones" which we later found out were heaters were on and set to 80° when we arrived. It was very warm inside when we arrived and we didn't figure out until too late that we were turning the heaters down to cool things off not off. There were no manuals to help instruct us on temperature control and we had to text the after hours number to get help. It took 2+ days to cool this place down. They encouraged us to open windows at night but not many of the windows (none upstairs) had screens. There is no cooling unit upstairs but they brought us some box fans which didn't help much. The plumbing upstairs was slow and had to be snaked because the sink wouldn't drain. Fridge took some time to cool down but then worked fine. Couches are worn and you sink down into them. We read that every cabin has a fireplace but ours didn't which was disappointing. There was 1 smart tv. We tried to log into Disney but someone else was already logged in. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling but then the TV needed a pin that we didn't have. WiFi worked well. The kitchen was clean and had what we needed. The blinds are dusty. We probably wouldn't stay here again unless there were some significant updates.

    This is a beautiful and enjoyable place to stay! The cabins are very cute and clean. Gorgeous lake…read moreview!! Very well managed. We enjoyed a 3 night stay and are looking forward to visiting again. Very peaceful and everyone is so friendly and the resort is dog friendly which is a huge plus!! Nothing but great things to say! Thank you for a wonderful stay!!

    I was at Quality Hill in March during a quiet, off-season time of the year. The snow was gone, the…read moretemperatures were mild, and the sun was out most days peeking through the tall pine trees. The resort was not very full, as often happens during this time period. That is what makes it a very special time in my opinion. Time to think and reflect, do projects, binge shows from your favorite streaming service, take long walks in the neighborhood and along nearby trails, and truly pull back from the normal day to day. With my dog nearby, it was a truly rejuvenating week. The units have everything one needs to be comfortable. Full kitchens, comfortable furnishings, two bedrooms and two bathrooms, a deck with furniture and a grill for your outside moments, and TVs, strong wifi, garage, and even a washer and dryer. I highly recommend Quality Hill for a great change of scenery, especially if you live in the Phoenix or Tucson areas. Pinetop is at 7300' in elevation, so the air is clean and the temps are much cooler. Hope you plan a visit soon!

    Having been Timeshare owners since 1981 we've traded more times than we can count. Quality Hill is…read morea great property..a bit unusual as the units are shared ownership divided into what must be 1/2 share with each owner having 4 weeks. As such each condo is decorated and equipped differently. Ours was comfortable and well equipped...even had a cappuccino machine but no instructions for use. Location wise Pinetop Showlow is great..it's les than 90 miles to Petrified Forest, Meteor Crater, Ft Apache, Sunrise Ski, Springerville ( great museum) Kinishba Ruins, etc. The resort has an excellent clubhouse with gym, board games, etc. If you like that kind of stuff. Now you can't be out doing stuff all the time..so I've got one item that got me...and it gets me at many resorts...it's streaming TV...impossible in most instances to get local news. Often limited channel choices unless you want to sign into your own Netflix etc. But why would a resort in this day and age select a streaming service that doesn't include live as on Dish or Cable versions of Fox or CNN or MSNBC...yes...I'm kind of a news junkie. Oh...almost forgot....this place has a garage for every unit....wow!!!! That's nice.

    My husband and I had planned a short getaway, during Easter weekend, for our 11th Anniversary. We…read morehad never been to Pinetop and had always wanted to go! We found Hidden Rest Resort on Hotels.com, which had a mixture of reviews, but very reasonable prices. We chose this place for the price and the good reviews that were listed. When I initially planned it, I chose the Honeymoon suite (Cabin 9) for the hot tub. Unfortunately, due to an unexpected surgery I recently had, we were unable to use the hot tub. That was a bummer. I attempted multiple times to try and change the cabin online prior to our arrival, but they were completely booked Easter weekend. No biggie. We still stayed. Melissa, at the front office, was very nice and friendly. She informed me of a $50 cleaning fee for the room, which I appreciated her allowing me to pay in cash. She showed me a map of the property and how to locate my cabin. What I appreciated the most was that when I called in the next day to inquire about restaurants, she was very knowledgeable and provided me with a great recommendation! We truly enjoyed the food that night for dinner! Thank you Melissa! The room was very nice and perfect for two people. The moment you walk in, the hot tub is straight ahead. Because of the hot tub, unfortunately, there is a strong smell of chlorine in the room. That I didn't like too much, but it's to be expected with a hot tub in the cabin. We had the windows open from time to time to get the smell out. Also, when you walk in, the living room is to the left. The living room is very spacious, has a lot of seating, a heater, and a TV with movies. The kitchenette was the perfect size and had all the accessories we needed to cook, eat, wash dishes, and more. The appliances were definitely outdated and a bit rusty, but they worked just fine. The appliances included a small microwave, a stove, an oven, a small mini fridge, a mini freezer (that only fits a couple of ice trays), a coffee machine, and sink. The bathroom was nice and very clean. They had complimentary shampoos, conditioners, and soap, but we didn't need to use them given we had our own supplies. The shower was wet when we arrived and I'm assuming it was due to cleaning prior to our arrival. Unfortunately, the shower did not have hot water when we used it. Overall, the bathroom was great. The bedroom was comfy and cozy! The bed had a memory foam mattress with super comfy pillows and comfy sheets. We didn't utilize the blankets and sheets because we brought our own. The room also had a small clothing rack to hang a few clothes. The heater in the cabin worked wonders! We visited when a short snow storm came! It was the best! The snow came falling down Friday night allowing us to enjoy the snow Saturday morning in to the evening! The heater kept the room warm from the cold, which was nice. Although, the heater, along with the hot tub, made it a tad bit noisy in the cabin from time to time, they weren't bad to the point where it kept you up all night. Overall, we had a wonderful stay! The weather was perfect, the cabin was nice, the food was good, and this all made our anniversary trip a delight! We will back again soon!
