White Mountain Escape
For an alternative to the local motels, try this bed and breakfast set on a 300-acre ranch about three miles south of Eagar. There are three guest rooms--Country Charm, Out West and In The Wilderness--and the decor of each reflects the theme suggested by its name. Guests can also enjoy a common room, which boasts mountain views and a fireplace. Arriving visitors are treated to homemade apple pie, and coffee and muffins are left outside guests' doors each morning as an appetizer to a full breakfast.
