My husband, myself and a dog or two go to Kohls Ranch 3 times each summer. We just got back today after leaving early from a 2 night stay to a one night stay. They no longer allow dogs in the rooms and the dogs must be kenneled in Kohl's Kennel at night EXCEPT if you are an owner or... More

We are Diamond Resorts owners and have been to dozens of different Diamond Resorts properties. This resort is by far my most favorite! So peaceful............... I love the fact that there is no cell service. We always get a cabin down near the creek. Love the smell of the forest and the sound of the creek. We have been here... More

This is the 4th week we have stayed at the lodge, My wife and two teenagers enjoy the extremely close proximity to a flowing stream and lots of hiking. The Horton trail is a great hike as well especially if you can get dropped at the top of the Mogollon Rim and hike down the 2000 foot escarpment. It is... More

We have been going to Kohl's for 5 years now and love everything about it. We are going again this year but unfortunately this will be our last visit. They are no longer accepting dogs in the rooms except for timeshare owners. They are allowing us to bring our dog this year because we had booked before the policy changed.... More

I stayed one week recently at Kohl's with a friend, occupying both a lodge room and a beautiful cabin overlooking the Tonto Creek. I ate at the restaurant, swam in the pool, used front desk services, hiked the local trails, and thoroughly enjoyed the beauty of the surrounding area. This is one of the nicest places I've ever stayed at.... More

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

We terribly regret not being able to host you as a guest of our resort. According to the United Postal Service, Kohl's Ranch Lodge is most certainly located within the Payson city limits, at the base of the Mogollon Rim, the region’s main attraction. Our address, location, and bird’s eye view map of the entire state is provided in advance... 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".

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

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
