My husband and I love how cozy this place feels! We loved having a little kitchenette in the room. The bed was big enough for both of us and super comfortable. The lobby of the lodge has a great space too. My husband and I, highly recommend this place. Beautiful hike trails close by. Also recommend Derrick Trailhead.

Such an awesome beautiful place. We had a fully furnished cabin by the creek. Very clean and everything we needed. The staff were all so friendly and helpful. And the restaurant was so good. Everything was homemade fresh! Great weekend getaway!

Positive: Poor customer service Negative: Poor customer service

Positive: Location, service and amenities Negative: Small bathroom, room somewhat outdated

Kohls Ranch a nice secluded little place. Great hiking and sight seeing with in a short distance. Just know cell service is sparse and their tv channels are limited but I guess when you are in such a wonderful place what really matters is what nature has to offer and on that - nature - this place rates a 10.

My husband and I stayed here in July. The A/C unit for the room was very good. The front desk staff were warm and friendly. The grounds are well-manicured and I liked the Western theme. We had a good-sized room with a kitchen that was well-stocked. The toilet/shower room was very small and the shower curtain kept sliding open. The bed was hard. There was no way to turn off the outside porch light at night and that made the room too bright for me at night (so we covered the window with a blanket). Overall, we would stay there again.

Very good time. Relaxing and accommodated our family well.

We loved our stay, Kohl’s ranch is beautiful. The town is so much fun. The staff are amazing especially Jeffery!

Quiet, peaceful. Always a pleasure. Felt safe from virus.

Positive: It was in the middle of the woods and they had lots of channels to watch on T.V. Negative: No it was perfect.

I will definitely be coming back with more people. This place was great on all fronts. Customer service, lodging, location, EVERYTHING WAS GREAT I highly recommend this place for a great getaway from the city.

Good visit. Though there was construction going on. Wouldve been nice to have DVDs during storm, satellite tv kept going on and off. Day clerk wore mask properly, Night clerk kept hers on her chin.Beautiful place, nice amenities.

Positive: on the creek, bar resaurant and pool:)

Perfect

Great location! Second time I stayed here had nice staff first time was meh. Dirty rooms both times tho and a heater that was unusable due to reeking like burned hair during my second stay. Didnt get deposit back first stay either. The location is what you pay for and if the rooms were better maintained I would give it a much better rating. Unfortunately options in this area is also not great.

The lodge is great. Plenty of safe outdoor activities for the whole family. The cabins are completely sanitized down to the remotes being sanitized and bagged upon arrival. The front desk was a little rude during check in, and the take out from the restaurant could have been tighter on the corona protocols, but otherwise we felt clean, safe, and we had a great trip. We will go back.

Great place to take the kids. There are a lot of activities for the adults and kids to burn off some energy; horseshoes, a putting green, playground, bags, lawn chess/checkers, and more. The food was good too. I recommend stopping on your way in or out of Prescott.

Stayed in the two bedroom cabins down by the creek. Very nice accomodations for our family, Zane Grey restaurant was really good, staff on the property were very nice. I will definitely be staying here again.

Positive: I loved how close it was to the creek

The genuine definition of peace and serenity! Totally away from the big city. The only thing that would of made it a perfect 10 was no cabins were available, but, that tells me in itself, what a great place to get away or happen to be passing through and come upon it. Thanks to all the staff. Very welcoming from beginning to end of stay.

Our room had a few pots and pans and glasses. No salt or pepper. 2 packets of creamer and one coffee packet. My hubs used both in his coffee. Wish i had brought more. A dishwasher but no soap for it. Really dark inside. The few lamps were inadequate. Bring a flashlight, salt and pepper, creamer and dishwasher detergent. Plus a wood chipper woke us before 8 for tree trimming. Wont be returning. The bed alone would have kept me away...back still hurts.Good points: wonderful grounds, great restaurant. Huge deck with bbq and view of creek.

Such a cute resort. The staff are very friendly and very accommodating. There is a short little walkabout along the creek thats absolutely gorgeous. The creek has trout that you can see and fish out of. We saw cows too along the trail and it was very beautiful. The rooms were very comfy and I would definitely stay here again.

Great spot in the pines. Tonto creek steps from your cabin with regular stocking of trout in season and kid friendly crawfish. Expect to get disconnected here and like it. Lots to see and do in the area. Watch out for Elk!

Kohls Ranch Resort is a beautiful place. First, the log cabin construction is beautiful and so fitting for the establishment. So many activities to do in this beautiful scenic backdrop. Tonto Creek runs right through the middle of everything with hiking trails, biking, dirtbikes and quad trails for miles.We checked in greeted by smiling faces and access to our room from outside or using the inside hallway. Very convenient! The rooms were fully equipped with everything from a fridge to the iron! Dishes, stove, microwave, everything youll be needing. My wife and I had a wonderful time and will definitely be back again!!Thank you

At first we were disappointed that we werent going to be along the stream that runs along the property but then we realized the benefits of not being along it. Such as mosquitoes and people. Plus because our cabin was so close to the grass we could go play games or sit on a swing anytime we wanted. I highly reccomend playing any of the games they have available. They are dumb but fun because how often do you actually play them? We found a few spiders in our cabin but i expected that considering we were close to water. Was very very happy to see that there was barely any spiders outside on the deck. Made it to where we werent too worried about getting bit while listening to the woods at night. A dog pooped on our deck the second day so it made us not really want to sit out there. Would love to visit this place again. The pics are from our cabin 2 bedroom deluxe cabin. The only negative i have to say was that the master bedroom shower was super small compared to the guest bedroom shower and that the door to the shower pops open easily if you accidentally hit it. Lets all the hot air out.

Relaxing cabins on Tonto Creek. Excellent place to play outdoors. Good proximity to Woods Canyon Lake and hiking trails.

My family rented a deluxe double cabin for one night. I checked the floor plan and realized it does not match with the listed 8 person occupancy (plan says 6). Once we arrived, the cabin was smaller than the one we rented and the floor plan was different. Instead of two rooms with 3 beds, there were two small beds with no walking space in the room. The common space, tiny kitchenette, and back porch were nice. The outdoor creek is surrounded by greenery with cool water thats a little murky. At night you can see some stars. The rooms were a huge set back (as well as there being no functioning wifi) but the area can be enjoyable if you get away from the rooms

Beautiful s scenery. Rooms at large cleaned well although a bit small. Resort fee at about $20 per and not sure for what! Most extras closed due to virus. Restaurant good and large meals. Prices a bit high but reasonable.

So much fun. Amazing place that we havent stayed before . Little bit pricey but I felt like I was glamping lol. The rooms had a little kitchen and it had everything that you would need to cook. I will definitely return here . Loved it

We definitely will be coming back! What a wonderful place! Its a great escape from hot Tucson or Phoenix. We stayed in one of the rooms facing the parking lot, but we didnt mind as we were there for a wedding and so really were only in the room for sleeping. Nice, clean, big rooms. Enough for two pack- n-plays for our two young children. Bathroom is tiny, and the water pressure is excellent but the shower head has tiny holes, so taking a shower kinda hurt. Thats the only thing I would change. The cabins face a lovely grassy area with the stream right behind it. The heated pool and fire pit area is in close walking distance. Theres a putting green and a playground for the kids. Volleyball court, basketball court, horse shoe area. Probably more, but we were busy with the wedding and didnt explore as much as we wanted. Wed like to rent a cabin next time and have a family weekend!

What a quiet yet hopping place. Rooms were clean and service was great. Hiking around thete is beautiful.

Carrie at the front desk was was very rude, property was smoky

There were six in our group. Every meal was excellent, and large enough portions we had some leftovers for lunch the next day. Will be coming back again.

Went to dinner at Zane Grey country barbeque. 2nd time. Food is really wonderful. Tonight I had mac and cheese with brisket and a dinner salad. Yummy

Nice lodge, hot tub was great and nice place to stay in the mountains.

Wild life, great food, cool getaway from the heat and all the staff was super.

This resort was a dream. The room was pretty and simple. We sat on the patio and had coffee in the morning. Played the games and walked the grounds. The chapel is so cute. I loved the anniversary champagne and chocolates in our room when we checked in. It was a beautiful touch. It made us feel so welcomed and didnt want to go home.

We haven’t stayed here but come often for dinner at the restaurant. The food is home cooked and everything on the menu is excellent, plus everyone is extremely accommodating. Highly recommend.

Took my family On A weekend Getaway, (First Time Here) I Love The Place It Is A Getaway. Beautiful Greenery All Around. A Creek Next To The property. Several activities to do with kids or as adults only. Pool & jacuzzi were perfect. All The people that worked here were all AWESOME. I Definitely Will Be Returning!

First time staying at Kohls Ranch Lodge and loved it so much we booked it another night! The grounds are beautiful and well maintained, theres tons of family friendly activities, Woods Canyon lake is right up the road, its a perfect weekend getaway! Also Anna the front desk receptionist IS. A. GEM! She was so sweet and helpful! Well definitely be back.

My husband and I have stayed here several time weve love this place,,,,but this time it does say check in @ 4:00,,, weve had to wait 1 hour for us to get to our room

Cant wait to come back and spend more time. Excellent service great room. We had a sudio and so clean.

The visit was short but nice! We havent visited in awhile and things have changed, no hot tubs on the porch of some of the cabins but the jacuzzi was nice by the pool. The restaurant not always open. its a diamond resort and I didnt see activities for the guests. Could be their off season. The staff was awesome! And the hiking trail across the highway was beautiful! Watch for bears!

Great rustic experience. Food and service were good even with limited hours due to covid.

Love this place, clean, beautiful, amazing staff, the Restaurant has great food... pool and hot tub. The rooms are clean and cozy, with kitchen. Surroundings are amazing... in the middle of the Forrest. Worth a stop! We will be back...

A very welcoming staff, fantastic scenery, and very comfortable bed. The only fault that I could find was the coffee thats supplied with the room. Next time, and there will be a next time. Ill bring my own coffee.

The food is great and our service was awesome The outdoor dining is in a great space with a beautiful and relaxing setting.

This place was amazing! Staff was polite and courteous. Restaurant okay but other than that we had a great stay.

I had a great time being here.I love outdoors and this was a perfect place to be.Nice people and I enjoyed some checkers with others in the Main Lobby.Thank God for this experience indeed.

Nestled in the largest Ponderosa Pine forest, at the base of the Mollogon rim; this hidden gem is one of a kind. Very rustic with modern day accommodations. The Zane Grey BBQ restaurant is on site and serving excellent food. Heated year round pool and jacuzzi and a generous amount of available amenities.(I own rights to these photos)-SD

We stayed here for the first time. My six year old twins loved it. My wife thought it was a glamping experience that she can get into. Rustic ambiance with modern amenities. Close to Payson and the rim. Plenty of places to drive to and play.

Came here for lunch. We had the Chicken Apple pizza which was very flavorful. The salad was above par made with actual greens not just iceberg. Fried zucchini was hot and yummy too. Food came out in an expedient manner although she couldve been more attentive to refills since only two couples were there.

Positive: Pristine location. Immaculate grounds. Historical significance and museum like atmosphere. Family fun and romantic. Negative: In wall AC was too loud.

Great resort, cool compaired to somewhere like Pheonix. Wonderful feel, staff is nice, has rich and historic culture, rooms are nice. Has a bar, a pool (a bit small, deep end is only about 5 feet deep), volley ball, outdoor enlarged chess, basketball, a playground, even a wedding area. And much more. Great vacation place!

Love this place. Bed was hard but all was wonderful. Food was good. Ribs were phenomenal!!!

We’ve stayed one night and have one more night here. I’ve stayed at similar cabin style resorts for 3 times the price. Yes paying that much more the resorts do have a few more amenities, a nicer restaurant on site etc. BUT We got a 1 bedroom and man this place is very nice with a creek in the back. Stocked kitchen so you can bring food and have everything you need to cook. My unit was up to date and very clean. This is our first time staying somewhere That’s not $160+ a night and I can say anytime my wife and I want a quick get away from the valley and not spend a lot, this will be our go to. Again don’t expect massages and rose petals but a much more private and relaxing experience then a hotel That costs double.

Very relaxing getaway from any cityWeather is amazing and overall is just a very nice place relax and unwind . I would have to say that it is a one-of-a-kind place with its own uniqueness. Will return time and time again.

I thought it was really reasonably priced, clean, and scenic. Staff was super nice.

Beautiful location, a 15 minute drive up to the mogollon rim, tons of hiking trails in area, they also offer horseback riding to guests. Also a nice little restaurant located on premises.

Wonderful place to get away with friends and enjoy a great meal. Charming host and delicious food. Tucked away in a secluded little cove in the high elevations just down from the Magollion Ridge.

Been coming here for years, beautiful property, rooms are always clean and are updated they are also very comfy. Love having the bar/restaurant on the property!! Overall the place is just very relaxing! Love the ambiance Of this lodge. I highly recommend staying here not to mention their prices are fantastic!

Awesome place and people, I work there I would recommend to anyone to stay or work there.

We were camping at Christopher Ceek and looking for a place to eat close by when we were told about this hotel which isnt advertised from the main road. This restaurant was peaceful and had delicious food. Check out the peach cobbler

Nice cozy place. Creek runs through the back of the property. My kids enjoyed the pool.

This place is really nice and affordable. They have a giant chess game and a dog park thats well kept. They even let me walk around with my dogs who arent service animals, just well loved.

Been coming here for years. Close and fun getaway. Lots to do

Positive: Location! Negative: Restaurant is a bit pricy

Great pool, good hot tub, mediocre restaurant, nice lobby, lots of activities, and outstanding service.

Beautiful scenery, comfortable rooms and friendly service!

Beautiful place! Just stopped by for lunch and a drink. Food was great! Margarita even better! Perfect friendly service. A bit on the pricey side for the area. Lunch for 2 and 2 drinks each....$80 including 20% tip. Tonto Creek winds through this awesome property treating guests to some very serene trout fishing days. Every time I have been here through the years the staff has gone out of their way to make me feel welcome. This and the ambiance keeps folks coming back year after year.

This is a place to consider if you want to stay in the pines and have all the amenities just like a hotel but with a very ranch style feel to it. Restaurant and pool on premises makes it ideal so you dont need to drive away to get something to eat.

Had a wonderful, went during an off season so it was quiet, which is what we wanted. Snow wasnt in the forecast the day we arrived, but was a nice surprise. Would have liked to use the pool or hot tub, but we stayed indoors most of th time.Overall, wonderful stay!

We had a great cabin this time and it was perfect for our needs

Been coming to kohl’s since I was a kid. Love it. Good fishing in the creek behind the loges, if you know what your doing.

Nice place. Booked through Priceline for cheaper prices. Pet friendly

Amazing resort! We had so much fun! We went for my birthday and it was really spectacular. The staff made us feel right at home and even gave us alittle present as we got there. They had a heated pool, a hot tub, outdoor games such as put put, volley ball, giant chess, corn hold, basketball, bocce ball, and much more! The views were gorgeous all along Christopher creek and the cabins were very cozy. Would definitely recommend to anyone and everyone. Loved staying here and I hope to come back soon!

Its beauty, nature & both employees & friendly guests were a breath of fresh air!

Positive: Beautiful location and very spacious and nice room. Comfortable bed and loved the fireplace in room. Beautiful outside areas and pool. Amazing views!! Staff is amazing and very friendly!!

More of a 3.5. I did visit during the down season. Many of the warmer weather activities were not really seasonally viable and I was disappointed that being so far from town that many basic accommodations were charger for. For example there is no complementary breakfast or any food (coffee/tea are free) and the bar pool table takes quarters. Just felt very nickel and dimmed when I already paid good money to stay there. They do have an impressive list of movies to borrow at no charge, as well at games. Although the front desk could not locate the one game we wanted; cribbage. The staff working were all very friendly and the room was clean. The community of Payson offers many vintage shops for gift buying. All in all, it was a decent stay, but would likely look elsewhere.

Great food spot on service

I was VERY pleased with the room and Jacuzzi and pool. My favorite part of whole thing was the roaring fire in the lobby, the free hot cocoa and the staff was so friendly.I will definitely be going back during the summer to due some fishing and more fossil hunting. I cant say enough good things about my stay at Kohls ranch lodge.

I love Kohls Ranch. Is one of my fav places to stay when Im in the area. The whole property is really beautiful, and I love the views!

Very clean place the people are very respectful there very helpful Im very quiet this time of year

We had a peaceful overnight stay here in the woods. The little river was running right below us.

Excellently well maintained property. Beautiful area.

Short drive from valley. And close to all the places I like to go in that area. Great facility and cozy place to stay. All staff was friendly and helpful. Will definitely return soon.

I enjoyed staying here but they had an issue with my credit card. If it is resolved I will return and update my review. I really had a nice stay with my partner in the short time there. Nice folks and very peaceful. Stay tuned.Update.........they did fix my card and I was charged appropriately. So I had a real nice time and was given a gift card for the restaurant for my trouble. Nice gesture and we will return. Ill just check my card details at check in more closely and remind them, other wise a good team.

Wondering why your open? Why you are exposing your staff? Telling them they have to use their sick time and holiday pay. If they want to stay inside away from the virus. Furloughing, them. Saying they cant apply for unemployment if they choose the furlough. Keeping your bar and restaurant open. Just to line their pockets.

Our very first time and it was a beautiful experience. We will definitely be coming back. People are friendly and our waitress in the restaurant was awesome and very welcoming.

Kohls Ranch is a hidden treasure in Rim County. Its a relaxing and welcoming place to stay while you explore the Rim. The restaurant offers a variety of BBQ meals with my favorite, Pulled Pork Sandwich, that never fails. The Lodge has a full bar with sports playing most often. The serving staff is wonderful and Tamara a delight!

What a wonderful experience. Heather provides great service and knows how to put a smile on your face when you had a bad day. Great atmosphere. Great bar . Great food

Amazing stay. We got a cabin which was large and had a sweet deck overlooking a creek. We even saw 5 blue jays in a nest above us, thats a nice thing to wake up to. Johnny Bravo was the manager in charge, very professional and friendly. They were a little behind with getting rooms ready which is to be expected when the place is full, Jhonny took care of us. They also had a heated pool and a jacuzzi, friendly staff serving breakfast as well.

My review is not about the property but diamond resorts policy, I had planned to go there for my birthday while on the road with my wife, I made a reservation, while driving the weather turned bad and due to snow I could not arrive the next night, I called and said I could not get there due to road conditions from where I was coming, in short they said sorry, their policy is 72 hours to cancel and will charge my card as a no show. I actually wanted to go there but due to weather could not, I understand policy but a resort over 6000 feet might have weather issues, They surprised me with their answer. All were polite but rules are rules, I will just have to forgo staying there and I guess pay for the privilege of weather preventing it.

Nice resort tucked back in the forest with stream running thru it.

The property is in a beautiful setting with many amenities. Renovations are under way to improve this older property but it seems that it has been left to decline to the point of becoming unsafe in some areas. I stayed for a night in a studio unit that has been re-done. It is very nice BUT there is only one comfortable chair in the room, the bathrooms are nice but small and there are only enough dishes for one meal. They do not serve any form of breakfast during the week, so if you have not been to the grocery store prior to your arrival, you have limited options for breakfast. There is a small selection of yogurts and breakfast sandwiches in the lobby self-Steve fridge.

We loved staying here. Our cabin was spacious, 4 adults & 3 children all stayed and slept comfortably. We had a nice full kitchen and a bbq and picnic table right outside. I loved getting to open the door and hear the creek behind the cabin. So beautiful and relaxing! Staff were so nice, accommodating, and helpful! I was sad to leave!

Positive: It was outstanding!

Stopped by for dinner with family and really enjoyed it. Ordered a pizza and caeser salad and they were both real good. The atmosphere and service was great too. Would definitely go back.

The restaurant at Kohls Ranch has delicious food, and priced very well. Would recommend to anyone
