Anybody considering staying at Tal Wi-Wi needs to understand a critical fact: the entire lodge and…read morerestaurant was purchased by a wonderful and caring family in 2024 and a new grand opening was held in 2025. So any reviews prior to 2025 are null and void. What a difference a private owner makes! First, the setting of this lodge is out of some mountain fantasy dreamscape. It is just 2 miles north of the quaint and patriotic town of Alpine, which is like stepping into a world that no longer exists. The lodge is nestled in the ponderosa pines and aspen stands of the White Mountains, and sits along 3 small lakes. It is surrounded by breathtaking mountains, under the clearest blue sky you've seen in years. The only "noise" here was the sound of the wind in the trees. It is a literally perfect location. The family that runs the place is amazing. The word "amazing" has been overused to the point that it means little. But "amazing" is an apt adjective. They truly care and go far beyond the norm to please their guests. One of the areas where they have concentrated is the restaurant. They reopened "Shadows" Restaurant- on the property- after previous corporate owners had neglected it and run it into the ground. And the new place is different in every way. It's beautiful inside, with cedar-plank walls, timber ceilings, and an outdoor patio with an awe-inspiring view. And then there's the food. The new owners went all out on the food. They created a unique restaurant in Alpine. First, they don't use seed oils. Everything is cooked in beef tallow. If you've never had a French fry cooked in tallow, you've missed out on one of life's delights. Second, their beef is from a local (no, really) ranch. It is the best beef we've had in years. We ordered the ribeye and it easily surpassed even the $100 ribeye at Fleming's or Maestro's. The freshness and flavor was off the charts. The small-but-varied menu hits all the high notes: an unbelievable burger (made with their own blend of prime cuts) served on their homemade hamburger bun and served with those darned tallow fries. The pizzas are equally good, with a perfect homemade crust- no frozen restaurant pizza doughs here. Then there is the homemade pies (see a trend here?). The pies are some of the best we've had in years. And if that's not enough, one of the owners bakes fresh donuts fried in tallow, on weekend mornings. They're to die for. The restaurant is worth the drive alone. It's that good. The cabins are, frankly, rustic but in the process of renovation. The charm, though, is immeasurable. The rooms are romantic and rustic with some treasures (like the authentic 1950s wood-and-leather salon chairs). These days we lament days gone by and the romance of earlier eras. Tal Wi Wi preserves every ounce. Stay and feel what it was like in the classic "lodge era" of the 50s and 60s when western-themed lodges ruled the west. The owners are in the slow process of renovating all 20 rooms, but the beds are super comfortable and the views of the tall pines and mountains are unmatched. You don't come here to just sit in the room. And last we have the service. These kind people truly care. Emily- one of the owners- does everything she can to make each guest feel valued and cared for. She is the heart of this lodge, and her cheerful presence gives Tal Wi Wi a unique character. The entire staff is helpful, smiling, and kind. The restaurant is open Thursday-Sat right now though that may change so call ahead. And it only serves dinner (for now). Rooms are clean (though dated as I mentioned), beds are really good, water pressure is good, and the rooms have wall heaters which are quite effective. The draw here is the mind-blowing beauty of the White Mountains and the peace, serenity, and beauty found here. I've made a living as a writer for various airline and travel magazines, so I've seen it all. This place is a living dream for these wonderful Owners. It is clearly a labor of love. So come and experience the fruits of their labor, and of the unending vistas of the White Mountains around Alpine, Arizona. Oh and did I mention that the drinking water here (from true mountain springs where the lodge is located) is the best water I've ever tasted? And yes, water has taste. Come experience this gem from a forgotten era. The drive from Phoenix or Tucson is well worth it for this genuinely best-kept secret.

No glitches whatsoever. Everything was clean and in working order. Cabin manager checked on us via phone, and other than that we were left alone. We've stayed at many, many places in Greer. This is arguably the best service and best cabin we have ever stayed in. We will be going back every summer. I'm NOT leaving my cabin name because I'm being selfish :) Will rent from the same people. Highly recommend.

This review is only for cabin #106 Greer is beautiful!!…read more However our experience in this cabin left us wanting more! The most disappointing part was our porch view was completely obstructed by the other cabins right in front. The back of this cabin (where the bedrooms are) backs up to the dirt road where people park. Impossible to enjoy sitting on the porch, unless you like looking at the back of your neighbors cabin. Loud with people coming & going in the morning. This should have been clearly state up front. Pros - the creek and wilderness is lovely! Cons - beds are back-breakers - the bedroom was so tiny you couldn't walk around both sides of the bed. There is a shelf on the wall as you enter the bedroom (no closets, no dressers) my husband hit his head every night & every morning trying to get around to crawl into bed. - cushions on couch & chairs are so old they are like pancakes. Very uncomfortable! - There are no over head lights in the cabin, only table lamps. The bedroom was so dark I had to use my camping headlamp just to find my clothes in my suitcase. - chairs on the porch were wobbly & missing screws. Very dangerous. - free wifi? What wifi! There is no tower in town so don't expect to check your email. Heads-up check out time is 10:30! Most hotel checkout time is 11 or noon. If they expect you to clean the whole cabin yourself before you leave they should give you more time. Way too early in my opinion. Finally, during our stay the property manger, or anyone for that matter, checked on us or asked about our visit. We will be back to Greer for sure, just not sure if we will stay at these cabins again.

Even though it was near the road it was very quiet all night. My sister's family stayed in a cabin that was clean, quaintly furnished, and had a functional kitchen and bathroom. We stayed in one of the RV spots in our 32' motorhome and enjoyed full hookups on a pretty level gravel pad. Navigation and parking was easy. The hosts were amazing! We got in around 7:30pm and they met us, showed us around, and called ahead to alert the Alpine Grill & Still across the street we were on our way for dinner. We were able to walk to dinner and back. The cabins have been closed for awhile but were remodeled and re-opened this summer. We enjoyed our stay here and will definitely come back when we're in the area.

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!
