What kinds of luxuries are at the Lodge? Let us point out that this is not the Ritz-Carlton, and that we never plan to be that type of property! But we have taken great care to provide the comfort of modern conveniences which will keep you happy, while still preserving the rustic "old-world" feel of your visit. We do not have Jacuzzi tubs (but the lakes are nice) or exercise facilities (though you are welcome to use the thousands of acres surrounding the Lodge). The only phone available for guests to use is a pay phone in the lobby of the restaurant. However, don't think for a minute that you are going to be "roughing it." All Lodge rooms are uniquely decorated in gorgeous antiques and have private bathrooms. All cabins are heated with fireplaces or a wood burning stove and includes at least a refrigerator and microwave. And, if you get really desperate to email your office or know the score of "the big game," we can help you out, but you're going to have to produce a note from your mother, three character references and a bribe (chocolate chip cookies work the best). This is all for your own good. You're supposed to be "taking it easy," remember?

What amenities can we find at the Lodge? We have taken great care to provide the comfort of modern conveniences which will keep you happy, while still preserving the rustic "old-west" feel of your visit. All Lodge rooms are uniquely decorated in gorgeous antiques and have private bathrooms. Our lobbies have an open fireplace and a wood burning stove. Visit our dining room page for your dining pleasure.

All cabins are heated with propane. Three of our cabins have an open fireplace, six of them have a wood burning stove and one has propane only. Eight of our cabins have full kitchens, the other two have a small refrigerator and a microwave. If you do not want to spend your time cooking visit our dining room page for more information.

There is no cell service at our location, we do have wifi, but no TV. There are no phones in the lodge rooms or cabins. A pay phone is located in the lobby or at the store. Your stay at the lodge is spent in our pristine forests, visiting the lakes, taking a hike or just sitting back and relaxing.

What is there to do at Hannagan Meadow? Your leisure activities are limited only by your enthusiasm and stamina. Check out our lists of Eastern Arizona activities, warm weather activities and cold weather activities. At Hannagan, we suggest a deck of cards, a board game, a great novel, a visit to the bonfire, try your hand at pitching horseshoes or hang out on the front porch chatting with friends and family. Get out and enjoy all the beauty Eastern Arizona has to offer by foot or by horse.

Friday Nights we will be having a cowboy cook-out with a live band.

What if I just want privacy and to be left alone? This is also totally OK at Hannagan Meadow Lodge. The greatest amount of privacy comes when staying in a freestanding cabin up the hill from the main Lodge. However, even in a main Lodge room, if you want to be left alone, you will be! Many guests crave the quiet and solitude and that's just fine with us. Our main concern is that your stay at Hannagan Meadow is exactly the kind of escape that you want it to be. You will not be forced to sing "Kum-Ba-Yah" around the fireplace or to share your life story, unless you want to!

What's up with wolves near Hannagan Meadow? National attention was drawn to Hannagan Meadow once more beginning in 1997, when Secretary of the Interior Bruce Babbitt proceeded with the Mexican wolf Endangered Species Reintroduction program as recommended by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. A press conference was held in the fireplace room of Hannagan Meadow Lodge. Through the mid-1900's, Mexican gray wolves in Arizona were completely extirpated, with only a few remaining in Mexico, and were officially listed as endangered under the Endangered Species Act in 1976. The reintroduction program began with 11 wolves being placed into acclimation pens off-limits to human contact. These wolves were initially released into the Blue Range Wolf Recovery Area in March 1998. The overall management plan is to have 100 free-ranging wolves in the recovery area (Arizona and New Mexico) by the year 2005. There are eight wolf packs free-ranging in the area as of April 2003, including the Bluestem, Hawks Nest, Cienega, Saddle, Francisco, Gapiwi, and Luna packs, plus one lone wolf. These packs total 24 radio-collared wolves, and based on other data from the field such as sightings and tracks, biologists believe there may also be 16 uncollared wolves in the wild. Uncollared wolves are pups born in the wild or wolves with collars that are no longer transmitting. The wolves are not interested in human contact and there has never been any documented instance of an attack on people. The presence of wolves in the forests near Hannagan Meadow is something to delight in, not to fear.

Of course, the best way to experience the unique feel of the property and all the fun activities is to stay right on-site. But if you're just passing through, please stop and say hello!
