Comfortable, friendly stay
Had an amazing two-night stay here. The staff were very friendly and the room was very clean and comfortable. The area is beautiful and the weather was a nice escape from the heat. The front desk has movies and board games available, which is great. The short walk to the creek is worth it for the calming noise and great views.

Kohl's Ranch Lodge is a charming and peaceful retreat nestled in the Arizona forest. The setting is beautiful, surrounded by tall pines and close to Tonto Creek, making it a great spot for outdoor lovers. The cabins and rooms have a rustic, cozy feel, and the atmosphere is quiet and relaxing—perfect for a weekend escape.
The property has some nice amenities like a pool, hot tub, and game room, and there are plenty of nearby hiking and fishing spots. It’s family-friendly and also great for couples looking to unplug.
Overall, Kohl's Ranch offers a comfortable and affordable getaway in a scenic location. A great base for exploring the Rim Country.

Great stay
Incredibly comfortable.
The only negative, was the added on "resort fee" that wasn't revealed in the original booking.
Aside from that, this place was amazing!

Cattle grazing on grass
They are allowing cattle to graze on the grass in front of the creek, which was not safe for our five-year-old grandson and they pooped everywhere and was not picked up.
