This is NOT a review of the facility itself. Others say it's nice and it very well may well be. My problem is with the fact they claim to be in Payson, where we wanted to be and they will quickly tell you they are. WRONG, THESE PEOPLE ARE 14 MILES OUTSIDE THE PAYSON CITY LIMITS. This was confirmed when... More

Kohl's Ranch Lodge should not be missed. You will not regret your stay here. I'm am very picky when it comes to cleanliness and this place met my standards.The rooms were "sturdy". None of those thin walls or cheap furniture. We really liked the rocking chairs on our porch while listening to the birds in the morning. Lodge staff were... More

I was able to snag a Groupon deal to stay in the Lodge for two nights, and I figured this would be an easy getaway from the Valley of the Sun. The property was pretty empty (we stayed May 5-7, a Sunday-Tuesday), and it was quiet. We stayed in a studio efficiency room, which included a microfridge, microwave, dishes, silverware,... More

My beautiful wife and I went up for Mother's Day/ Wedding Anniversary and stayed in a studio. The room was fantastic, nice bed (now my wife wants to buy one). The staff was awesome and even sent us some fresh baked cookies and an anniversary card, very thoughtful. My only complaint is the water pressure sucks, but that's an issue... More

We've been coming to Kohl's for many years now... every Spring or Summer we stay for a week or more (we have a Diamond Resorts timeshare) with just hubby & I or friends from Tempe/Phoenix.

What a wonderful getaway! We purchased a Group On deal for a two-night stay and was impressed from the moment we pulled up. I'd envisioned a run down lodge with rooms to match....couldn't have been more wrong! The lodge and cabin/rooms were clean, cute, and down-to-earth with a contemporary twist. The small details (i.e., green rocking chairs on the porch,... More

First I would start by saying we will definately be back this summer! That being said, we picked a bad time to come. We thought we were picking a great spring week to visit but it was cold and snowy for most of it! We couldn't drive any of the forest roads because they were still closed for the winter... More

Thank you for providing your thoughts about your most recent stay here at Kohl’s Ranch Lodge. Our fireplaces are propane based, but yes, they are faux. We feel the benefits and costs of maintaining a fireplace of this nature outweighs the benefits and costs of having a real fireplace.

My husband and I purchased a living social deal to this lodge. When we pulled up, it wasn't what I expected, but I was pleasantly suprised.

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
When you first arrive at Kohl's Ranch Lodge in Payson, Arizona you will be sure you have truly cornered a little piece of paradise. The location is what creates this setting, which borders on perfection. Kohl's Ranch Lodge is at the base of the Mogollon Rim and on the banks of Tonto Creek. All of this comes together in the largest Ponderosa Pine Forest in the world. This stunning, off the beaten path section of Arizona's back country was made most famous by author Zane Grey, who stirred up vivid imagery of a striking land throughout his tales of the Old West. Not to mention, the people here are known for their historically famous, western hospitality. You will revel in the casual and friendly atmosphere that makes each stay here an inviting experience that leaves visitors wanting to come back for more. Enjoying Payson, Arizona: This area has been dubbed the "heart of Arizona" because of its history and scenery. It is truly a stunning and unpredictable back country area of Arizona. Here, you may even experience snowfall in winter months. While you are staying in your subtly elegant surroundings, you can enjoy a multitude of activities. This is an area that was practically made for experiencing horseback riding along the dusty trails. Of course, this also means the country is ideal for similar activities such as hiking. Most of the area surrounding Payson is the Tonto National Forest, part of the United States Forest Service, so you will find a well-maintained park service to enjoy for many of your outdoor adventures. Other areas are under the jurisdiction of tribal governments, which means they are also kept up. In some areas, fishing is another very popular outdoor event to enjoy. From the Tonto Natural Bridge to the Tonto Natural Bridge State Park to the Tonto Apache Indian Reservation, you will find scenery and activities in or around Payson, Arizona to fill your days. Kohl's Ranch Lodge Accommodations: After a long day of hiking, biking or fishing, you may want to simply relax and unwind in your private room, maybe even bask in the air conditioning and watch a movie on the DVD player provided in each room. You can also enjoy the outdoors without ever leaving the grounds. Serve up some BBQ from the cookout area and soak or swim in either the outdoor hot tub or heated outdoor pool. You will love your time at Kohl's Ranch Lodge. ... more   less
