Kohl's Ranch Lodge

I highly recommend Kohl’s Ranch! It feels like having a cabin with all of the fun and none of the work. My family and I have been coming for over 20 years and still love the tall pines, mountain views, the creek, and the peaceful setting. There’s plenty of great hiking nearby, and the hot tub and pool are perfect after a long day on the trails. The on-site restaurant is a bonus—don’t miss the BBQ brisket and peach cobbler. Andre runs the property exceptionally well, and his team—Morgan, Jenn, Heather, Debi, Gisella, and many others—made our stay truly special. Always a fantastic experience.

Thank you to Jennifer for a wonderful stay! We were there over valentines weekend and there was an issue with our booking reservation and she made sure to resolve that quickly. She was very kind, friendly and super helpful. She was the best! Our place was beautiful, clean and quiet. The restaurant has great food! We were there for one night but will definitely return. Best place to stay in Payson, thanks for an amazing stay! -Carina & Ryan

The room was spotless, the staff friendly, everything was perfect, and a little to far from the town and traffic, it’s a perfect place to relax and cnnect with nature surrounded by pines and near a creek. There is no cellular service, so what? It’s understandable ‘cause you are around the mountains. You connect to their free WiFi and ready. Also there is no daily housekeeping unless your stay is for more than 5 days. But that wasn’t an issue for us. They provide everything you might need enough for your stay period. Cozzy suite with a small kitchen, refrigerator and ALL utensils and kitchenware and dishwasher. Shampoo, Conditioner, body wash, and lotion provided. Keep it that way please. Husband and I loved it! Definitely would come back and recommend to family members and friends.

A...mazing place. I've been here once before ona girls trip with m daugher and it was great but came again alone ith my husband this weekend and explored more, checked out the bar, pool, etc. All I can say is I will be back again and again. The location is beautiful, rooms and atmosphere feels like heaven. We her the creek from our balcony and the rooms are so comfy. The Staff at bar and front desk were so amazing and helpful to make our stay above and beyond. We've tried many cabins in payson but this is so far our favorite. The restaurant food is great too. Best weekend and much needed good trip! Love this place!

We stayed in a 2 bedroom cabin and it was perfect. You're about 20 mins outside Payson and it was so nice and quiet! We slept with the windows open and you could hear the creek behind the cabins. Our only complaints were the TV wasn't hooked up to the internet (so no streaming) and the rooms were somewhat dark & could use a little more light. Those are super minor though. I'd stay here again in a heartbeat. The deck behind the cabin is so cool. We sat outside & looked at the stars in the evening and then enjoyed coffee on a brisk morning. Great place to stay with family!

All I can say about this place is awesome!It is clean quiet and in the woods. We loved it! If you like to be in the woods this is it by far. The staff was very friendly and answered all questions without hesitation. The restaurant is closed Monday and Tuesday which was a bummer but our room had a stove, pots and pans so we were good to go. I’m sure if the restaurant was open the food would have been awesome as well. We will have to go back for the experience.

Great location for a base to explore, and hike the areas many beautiful places. The lodge employees were wonderful. Restaurant and longe were enjoyable and friendly. Room was about what we expected. 1 bedroom with kitchenette was clean but small with what we think was an uncomfortable, full size bed for two adults. Lack of good sleep was the only drawback of our trip. Other than that we had a fabulous time! We enjoyed ourselves and will return to the lodge for future trips to do more hiking and exploring.

We came here for a birthday celebration. 7 of us in total, 5 of which were teen boys. We got a 2 bedroom cabin, which was a perfect fit for us all. Very clean, beautiful view from the porch and friendly staff. The kids loved the hot chocolate station in the lobby. I'd absolutely come back. Be prepared for wifi to be iffy. The kitchen had plenty of space. Limited pots and pans (one pan was very bowed which made cooking interesting).
