Great location close to many excellent hikes. Room was very nice— comfortable bed and balcony looking out into the trees. The restaurant service and food were also quite good!
I’ve stayed at this property several times and it never disappoints. The staff is amazing and the grounds are beautiful. All the rooms that they have are a great value for the amenities provided.
We love this property and everyone from the front desk, house keeping, to the restaurant are so accommodating and polite. Cant wait to return and rent a cabin on the creek!
Great place all the way around. Highly recommend. Super quiet at night even when it is packed with people. Beautiful setting and location. Great fishing too.
This place was great. The staff were friendly, the rooms were comfortable and clean. The grounds were nicely kept. The amenities were abundant. Lots to do for all ages! We hope to come back!
Everythingbatbthe resort was great, especially the staff that we encountered. The property has many thingsbto offer, besides the hit tub and pool, that can keep you active and having fun. The bar/restaurant next door has a nice menu and wonderful staff that can make many delicious drinks and foods.
My first time visiting Payson and I’m happy I choose a Kohl’s Ranch Lodge to stay. The staff were so friendly, and assisted promptly when I needed them. I had no doubt that the area was safe and secure while I was in my cabin with my family. Thank you Kohl’s Ranch, we will be back for another stay!
We stayed here with a 5 and 7 year old and it was PERFECT!!! We had a 2 bedroom standard cabin with a kitchen that backed up the a little creek. The kids loved playing in the creek, the heated pool, fire pit for s’mores. The location is right next to a paleo dig site that you can easily find little fossils with kids too!!
