WorldMark Bison Ranch

We loved our stay at the resort. The rooms and bathrooms are spacious and the kitchen is fully equipped with everything we needed. The heated pool was a plus. Kids had fun at the game room areas. On site theater is an excellent option which comes with free popcorn for the family for a small renal fee. The resort is close to many places of interest (national park, lakes, hiking trails, etc.). We did not try the onsite coffee shop or the restaurant this time but the prices seemed reasonable. We definitely will come back in the future.

This was a delightful place to stay! Beautifully maintained, thought out spaces including a wonderful recreation center with games, small theater, cozy sitting / swinging spots, on-site restaurant and tap/ coffee lounge, & the friendliest of staff... they made my daughter feel very special, as we were there celebrating her bday. Will return.

NASTY, The wifi went our for many hours, made is very boring and I had inprotant stuff to do. Don't recommend coming here if u want wifi, no service amd we called the office to ask what's happening and the service was absolutely terrible, please save your money and go somewhere with better wifi

We explained to the desk staff that we would be using our room during the day, arriving back at the room really in the morning to sleep for the day. First night, we return at 2:00am and the key doesn't work. We walk to the office. They give us new keys. Didn't work. They give us new keys. Didn't work. The third time they say they will come over and let us in. Next night, key doesn't work. We go to the office and they say that they found out earlier that if the other guest locks the bolt lock on the door that the key won't work. They could have told us earlier in the day, they had our contact info. We had them let us in. Then we discovered we left an earbud in the room. $35 to send it to us.

This property is in a remote area in the ponderosa forest. Overgarrd and Heber are two small towns in the higher elevation of Arizona, so it is much cooler there with lots of forest. It is somewhat remote and very quiet and layback. There is not a lot to do there. We saw som ATV riders and there is lakes for fishing. Seven or eight restaurants and a couple local grocery stores. Some interesting shops. If you are looking for a peaceful quiet retreat, this is great. We went to Petrfied Forest National Park, and found it very interesting. The area is very scenic forest. Phoenix is about three hours away. Show Low is about 30 miles and a much larger town with more to do. The resort has a pool but was under renovation while we were there. They have movies to rent and a game room for the kids. If you are looking for a peaceful quiet retreat, this is perfect. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

We are Club Wyndham timeshare owners, and Worldmark is a separate class but has equal accommodations. We enjoyed a 2 bedroom suite with a pull down Murphy bed in the living room, graced with a fireplace. We stopped in Show Low on the way into town and got groceries at their Walmart. We ate most breakfasts there, made lunches to take with us on occasion or barbecue on the gas grill on our porch, and ate out for dinner most evenings. The quaint storefronts and rooms above businesses was an unusual format for Wyndham, but neat because you could walk down to the Wild Women Saloon and get served, yet they closed at 8:30pm so your sleep wasn't compromised. The hot tub and heated kiddie pool were open, but one day we chose to drive to Pinetop Wyndham to use their swimming pool. Jasmin was receptive and provided towels for us during our stay. It was beautiful and not very busy there either. We used the location to access Winslow, the Petrified Forest National Park, Montezuma Castle and Well, Tuzigoot, Sedona, and at the end of our stay visited Flagstaff, Walnut Canyon, Bearizona Zoo, the Arizona Snowbowl ski area, and Slide Rock State Park before spending a final night in Sedona. There was no mention of a sales meeting or update.

It is a quite little place called Bison Town and the ranch is very well maintained. It is a wonderful place to relax, read, fish, go for walks or hikes. We found that the weather was not favorable for us in mid-March but felt that if we had push out trip to mid-April it would have been wonderful. Of course, the good people at Bison Ranch can't control the weather.

The resort itself was really nice. Very spacious room. Beautifully decorated. Nice coffee shop and restaurant in the resort. The town is very small and touristy things to do are about an hour away. I recommend Petrified Wood National Forest in Holbrook, Tonto Natural Bridge State Park in Payson, Pintail Lake in Show Low, Show Low City Park in Show Low. Best breakfast in Heber-Overgaard is the Ponderosa. Yummy homemade desserts too! I loved my stay in the resort and town. Very quiet and peaceful just the way I like it. I did lots of research before my trip so I knew exactly what to do in the area. I traveled with my husband and my 77 year old mom. The only negative was that we went in early March and it was still very cold. It even snowed a couple of days. You might want to go after March for some warmer weather.

We visited “off season” so the outdoor pool wasn’t available but the Rec center had a great variety of activities for all ages! Wild Woman Saloon/Grill was awesome! Resort staff A+! Overgaard offered many interesting shops and restaurants; Sedona and Flagstaff only a couple hours drive away. The bison are no longer nearby but lots of wild horses roaming the area! We very much enjoyed our visit at this resort!
