It hurts me to write this review because I have stayed at Kohl's Ranch many times over the years...but Kohl's Ranch isn't what it used to be. The last few times we've stayed there we have noticed the quality of the lodge being worse each time we show up. Our final stay was in November of last year (2012). The rates were a bit high...we paid $300 for two nights. Right as we arrived we knew something was wrong. The place smelled bad. The hallways were dark and dusty. The restaurant was closed so we had to eat out of the vending machine (the restaurant was closed most of the two days we were there). There were dead bugs on the floor of our room. The wireless internet connection was a joke. I could hardly even open a webpage. Thank goodness I could tether my phone to my computer. Our bathroom was not clean. When I used the bathroom after we got there, there was NO TOILET PAPER. None on the roll, and none in any of the bathroom cabinets or the cabinets in the room. I had to call up to the front desk where I was told "Uhhh you'll have to come up here and get some, I'm the only one here". So I had to walk up to the front counter and I was led to a janitor closet where I was handed one roll of toilet paper. I can't say I've ever had THAT experience before (much less a place where I was paying almost $150 a night). The next time we're staying in Payson for half the price. Kohl's Ranch was an excellent place to stay ten years ago...then new management took over at some point and the quality went down, down, down. Not worth the price at all anymore. Good bye, Kohl's Ranch. ----- BONUS COMPLAINT AGAINST DIAMOND RESORTS: ----- Why am I posting this review six months after staying at Kohl's Ranch? I had meant to put a complaint but forgot...until thirty minutes ago when Diamond Resorts called and wanted to know how my stay at Kohls Ranch went! I was quite pleased for the call (at first) and listed off all the problems I had with Kohl's Ranch and why I wasn't going back. Then the call quickly turned sales and it was clear that the "we want to know what problems you had" was just the hook. The operator wanted me to buy more time at other hotels and listen to a timeshare sales pitch. Super high pressure and after ten minutes I basically had to hang up to stop the call. So I have horrible experiences at a hotel and I'm asked to pay more money and listen to a "90-120 minute timeshare promotion"? I think not. I'll avoid Diamond Resorts now like a plague.

I read a number of traveler reviews on other sites as well as these on Yelp before we went. So, first, we exchanged into this resort with our timeshare and had limited options. It sounded like a nice out of the way location. But, we were worried about the accomodations nonetheless. So the cabins look really nice and remote and woodsy, but you apparently need to be an owner, not an exchanger to get one of those. We got one of the lodge rooms, an efficiency, which had a mini fridge, a cooktop and dishwasher. It faced the pool. It was like we checked into Motel 6 in the backwoods. The bathroom was about 25 years old, as well as the rest of the room minus the dishwasher and cooktop. Lord, people, update the place for God's sake. On the upside, the reviews for the restaurant were fairly off. The food I had.... Chuckwagon steak dinner and the chicken fried steak breakfast were very good and well done. Service was good as well. Wouldn't go back... wish it was nicer and had so much potential.

We stopped by Kohl's Ranch to stay for over a holiday weekend. The rooms are nice, the staff very friendly and ready to assist. The grounds are very family friendly with lots of activities for those with children; volleyball, basketball, an enormous chess set with giant pieces that the kids move around. Nearby are various trails near streams and the forest. The restaurant was very good. The fish fry on Friday's was very good. Breakfast is served on the weekends but not during the weekdays.

This place is a nice, rustic getaway from the atrocious heat in Phoenix. You're an hour and a half away from Phoenix, in the woods/mountains with cooler weather. If you're looking for a 5 star, fancy pants resort, please don't stay here. This is a step above camping. Key word is rustic. Positives: Front staff is exceptionally nice Great place for families with kids (lots of them) Cute rooms with porches where you can sit and enjoy a beverage before dinner 1 1/2 hours from Phoenix Under 100$ a night There's a saloon on site where you can get your drank on Negatives Great place for families with kids (lots of them) Some rooms have views of the parking lot No restaurant on site that is worth eating at so you have to go into town to eat. Read restaurant reviews. We were scared to eat there. Very rustic. I was bit by some funky spider that was on the floor. Payson is pretty redneck I would definitely stay here again but would bring my own food and drink and be sure to get there early to get a room with a great view.
(4)JoEllen W.
Awesome experience. Reasonably priced. Very clean. The staff was extremely nice and professional. The food was generous and tasty. We will return. Thank you.
(5)Chris V.
So sure enough the hotel sold out and I was unable to upgrade. Still frustrated that this location would refuse to allow me to upgrade days in advance to secure the larger room. That being said, the lodge itself is very nice. Everyone is friendly in the complex. The complex itself is great for families. I will take my family back and ensure I book the cabin up front. The one thing I did think was weird was that the front desk came knocking on my door at 10 am just to see if we were still in our room. I would think front desk would communicate to housekeeping ahead of time. They just wanted to know who was still in the rooms.

I'll start by saying this was my 3rd Valentines day here with my wife, EVERY single time we book the cabin with the jacuzzi on the deck. EVERY TIME! As usual the first of the year I call ahead to make sure I get our cabin. As I book, I get......"yes sir, we have one available.".......BOOKED. Day before we arrive, we get the confirmation phone call from the resort. "I'm booked with the cabin with the jacuzzi on the deck right?".......YES SIR! We head up to Payson early every time to walk around the property and enjoy the resort. We hit the front desk at 3pm to let them know we have arrived. Our room isn't ready yet......great no problem. We'll be in the bar, let us know when its ready. My wife asks.....could you make sure the jacuzzi is on and warm so we can get into it right away?..........Yes Mam, we'll check, but they are always warm. SO.......at this point is there any question in my mind that I'll get a different room? NO We make friends with people at the bar, and the bartender. We are the bartenders "Guinea Pigs" and she makes several SEVERAL shots for us, our friends and herself. (Liquor violation) After a couple beers, and several fruity shots, we go back up to the desk get our room key and head to our room.......NO JACUZZI.......back to the office. "Sorry your room isn't guarenteed"..........Wait what? Yes it is we confirmed it 3 times. No sir, we're at full capacity, we have nothing else. Now instead of TRYING to make things right with us, the front desk walks in the back room hands me a piece of paper with a full refund, and then disappears to the back. As my wife and I sit in the lobby in disbelief and slightly buzzed, our friends at the bar extend an invitation to stay with them in their room instead of driving. We weren't going to rain on anyones V-day night, so we declined and drove all the way back to Phx. We were treated so horribly it turned my stomach. They didn't do a SINGLE thing to make it right. We got the here's a refund.....get out treatment. I wrote letters to the head office and the staff twisted their story to the corporate office. Why? Because they violated several liquor laws. (I'm a bar owner) Book us another night on the house? Buy us dinner? Take responsibility of your mistake? Nope none of that. Send the intoxicated customers on the road back to Phoenix, just get them out of the hotel.

Nice cabins, beautiful creekside views, love the scenery & grounds, tons of activities to do -- just check with the front desk but know the cabin units are losing the hot tubs --only 3 units left with hot tubs. We booked a unit with a hot tub and it was filled with green water that was completely gutted of all electrical components.

My husband and I just got back from a weekend getaway at Kohl's Ranch. We went for our anniversary, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. First of all, the staff were fabulous. They treated us like we were at a first class resort. They were extremely nice and helpful, and not in a fake way like other hotels. They seemed truly genuine. Since it was our anniversary they gave us a card and a plate full of chocolate chip cookies. It was such a cute surprise. Our room was perfect, and we were so impressed with the lodge. The decor was impressive, and we were delighted to see all of the activities that were available. We played bingo, ate smores by the fire pit (they have smore kits at the front desk for only $1!), ate a great dinner at the steakhouse, played putt-putt golf, walked by the creek and even enjoyed live music that they had in the saloon on Saturday night. There was even more that they had to offer but you get the point :) It was just such a relaxing getaway. There was no cell phone service, but that was a great thing. It was so nice to unplug (although they do have free WiFi and offer free calls anywhere in the US from your room lol). This place is perfect for people like me who don't love to camp but still want to enjoy an "outdoor" getaway in the woods. Thanks Kohl's Ranch, we will definitely be back!

My friend and I stayed here over the weekend and had a fantastic time! I give it 5 stars because it met my expectations. This is not a super-high class downtown resort; rather it is a clean place with a unique rustic history. It has been remodeled and there are two different room types; cabin by the creek which is newer and the original lodge room. The staff was honest about the restaurant - not very good. The staff was also friendly and extremely helpful. They have horse stables on the grounds, cool pool area and places for kids to run around with lots of games and playground gear. This place is near Tonto Natural Bridge Park and numerous hiking areas. I would return. Bring your own food to grill and eat - the nearest grocery store is about 14-17 miles away. Solid!

Great family place. we rented a lodge room and it was great. we enjoyed having the mini kitchen which included a stove, microwave and small fridge. We appreciated the dishes, plates cups and utensils provided. all was very clean and they even supplied dish soap, paper towels and salt and pepper. We utilized the gas grills for dinner one night and it was great they were immaculate and we had a picnic table next to the grill so we grilled steaks was convenient. lots to do for family or a couple. we played bocce ball, and mini golf. We enjoyed the playground too with our little girl. The saloon was a good option for lunch we had pizza and it was good. We liked the smores available for purchase and sitting by firepit at night. The front desk staff was amazing and friendly. we checked in easily its a lovely property. will come back again for sure. We visited in September and our room had a fireplace was cozy. next time we plan to rent a cabin they looked really nice. quiet and relaxing place. We stopped across the street at the fish hatchery was an educational free activity worth checking out.

Stayed here for the weekend and was pleasantly surprised! About 20 miles east of Payson on Tonto Creek. Upon check in the lady was very nice and knowledgeable. Let me start by saying we are from Northern Arizona and were invited here by a friend, so to us, it wasn't really THAT much of a getaway (as opposed to someone from the city) as we live in a similar setting but that's not to say it wasn't a beautiful place! Our friend told us it was a cabin with a fireplace so we brought our own firewood but it turns out our "rustic cabin" was a newer modular home/cabin (which was perfectly fine, just not what we expected) and the GAS fireplace came one with the flip of a switch HaHa......Understandable as I'm sure the management wouldn't want city people trying to start fires in their cabins! The 2 bedroom cabin was spotless and had nice western decor. Was nice to sit on the porch and hear the creek. The grounds were all very clean, has FREE onsight laundry for guests, great pool and spa, horse shoe pits, volleyball area, basketball etc. Plenty for kids to do closeby if mom and dad want to relax at the pool. Even had a firepit (with real wood haha) that they light each night for s'mores! The last night we decided to eat at the saloon and seriously, the food was DE-LICIOUS! I totally expected it to be mediocre since it was the only place to eat on the property (but we didn't want to drive 20 miles to town.) But dang! We got a little bit of everything and shared it (brisket, ribs, pulled pork, porkchops and veggie pizza, and don't even get me started on the hot peach cobbler for dessert, it was the BEST I HAVE EVER HAD!!!) The service was great. Jasmine was a doll and put up with our boisterous group!! Overall the staff were awesome (even the maintenance guy collecting our trash asked if we needed help with anything, and did it with a smile!!) however, Kevin at the front desk is another story! I am sorry to call him out on Yelp but our entire party had to deal with him at some point in our trip and each time he was anything but helpful, did not seem to know anything and seemed as if we were impositioning him! When the rest of our party checked in, he told them "you don't have a reservation with us." My friend was like "Um, I'm pretty sure I do since I made it and have the confirmation # and the rest of our party is all ready in the cabin!" That was just one example but no one wanted to deal with him. We joked about calling Undercover Boss but they have all ready done a Diamond Resort episode LOL But if management is reading this, please give Kevin a happy pill and some additional customer service training. His motto seemed to be "we love to say NO instead of Yes" and it was a damper on our stay..... =( A few notes: Cabins 301-310 are the 2 Bedroom Deluxe Cabins (newer modular cabins, not rustic) and we assumed being they were "Deluxe" they'd have a private jacuzzi on the porch but they DO NOT!!! The 5 cabins next to that are the "2 Bedroom Cabins" and THOSE have the hot tubs on the porch. It's a bit confusing but good to know so you weren't confused like us. No biggie, we enjoyed the main jacuzzi at the pool but next time we will make sure we get the right cabin with a private one. Overall, a really nice place to stay. We would definitely go back but I bet it gets crowded in the summertime!! Cabins

Payson isn't full of nice hotels because it's really more about renting a cabin when taking the trip to that area. However, Kohl's is actually a nice hotel and one worth staying at for a weekend! Kohl's has been around since 1925 and is nestled within Tonto National Forest and right along the Tonto Creek. It's a quaint and charming log cabin resort and a perfectly relaxing getaway location. Once you get to Kohl's, know that the nearest grocery store or restaurant (besides their own) is around 17 miles away, so it's best to stop by a grocery store on your way up and grab some essentials since the rooms have a stove, refrigerator and appliances. They even have a grill outside the rooms so if you wanted to grill on your own, you could. If you stay, ask for a room that faces the creek because these rooms have decks with rocking chairs. The hotel is also dog-friendly, so your pal Fido is welcome for just $20 extra dollars per stay. Kohl's has a restaurant and small saloon but beware that they close early (by 8:30 PM). This hotel is all about rural living and getting away from the hustle and bustle of the city. It's right across the street from the Tonto hatchery for fishing and there are plenty of beautiful hikes surrounding the hotel. They offer horseback riding on the property as well! This hotel is perfect if you want to get away and have a quiet weekend with a lot of outdoor activities. Be prepared, your cell phone won't work here! Note: As of July, 2012, parts of Tonto National Forest near Kohl's is closed due to fire hazards and the recent bear attacks, so it's best to call before you visit. However, there is hiking all around and Payson is just 17 miles away so it's easy to get around and worth staying at Kohl's so you experience a beautiful setting.

The lodge is in a beautiful setting. We stayed in one of the studio rooms and had a stove, fridge, dishes, and microwave which was nice. We had brought food items to make our own b-fast and were able to do that using the stove. The studios have a small patio in back with 2 chairs that over look the cabins then creek. I recommend if you stay here ask for the creek or pool view depending on what you prefer or you may end of looking at the parking lot, not pretty. The restaurant is only open Friday and Saturday nights other wise you have to eat in bar and grill area. Kitchen closes at 8 pm which in my opinion is little early when the weather is warm. We brisket and chicken which ran us about 35.00 for both. Not to expensive overall. There is awesome hiking across from the lodge on the way up to the fish hatchery. No place to shop nearby so if you need food or supplies stop at the store before driving out of Payson or you'll be making a 40 mile round trip trek to stock up. Overall the lodge, is not luxury and does need some remodeling and updating but it still very pleasant and we would stay again.

Staff is incredible. Was visiting during snowstorm, and power was lost. Staff took care of it all and we had excellent stay. Beautiful Location. Food exceptional. Rooms so-so.

We recently stopped over while passing through to Cal, and wanted to check Payson out per suggestions from friends. I booked a room at a great price online. Everyone was very friendly and most accommodating. The lodge is beautiful. Maybe it is not new but they take pride in it's cleanliness and appearance. We had a room with a little kitchenette. Which was perfect for us. The pool area was very nice and clean. The rooms were spotless. The bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was small but clean and nice. The surrounding area was beautiful and was a great place to take a walk. My little guy loved the creek. We also went horseback riding, which was so much fun and the views were beautiful. Overall we were so happy with the place that we decided to stay all weekend instead of just one night. Can't wait to return.
(5)David P.
Never got to eat there, called and was told they open for breakfast at 8am, got there at 8:05 and was told they don't open until 8:30. Well , okay Asked when they close and was told at 1, I asked is that 1am or 1 pm, was told 1am so we showed up at 2 pm for lunch & they were closed. I asked the very same girl why they were closed and she said they always close at 1& I asked you specifically am or pm And she said whichever the 1 in the afternoon is . 2 and done here
(1)Elis N.
Long drive from Phoenix to get there (2 1/2 hours), but once you're there, it's the perfect getaway! Smooth check-in with friendly staff, our room was ready, we were splashing in the pool within 20 minutes! The studio needs some updating/remodeling, but a room with a mini fridge, stove, microwave, and sink is a "thumbs up" in my books. Since it's a small sized lodge, 66 rooms total, we didn't have any problems with crowds. Fun for people with kids because there's so much to do: the pool, putting green, basketball, volleyball, jungle gym, and horseback riding. We didn't try their food at the restaurant or Saloon since we ate out. The only disadvantage is the late check-in (4 pm) and the early check-out (10 am) times.

We stayed over night on a ride we did this weekend. When all the other places we stayed over the 3 nights just "got it" - this place did not. Coming in on a motorbike just in front of a torrential down pour and exhausted from a 5 hour run we were told our room wasn't ready. Now please don't get me wrong... We were 2 hours early for check in. So my complaint isn't so much about what they said but more about what wasn't said. This was the most expensive place we stayed and there was no forward thinking to the type of travelers coming in. I think they cater to the more Scottsdale crowd not the biker crowd. It was a bit of a let down. The room was ready an hour later which was still early. The room was comfortable and stocked for cooking your own meals. We ate in the saloon which has the same menu as the restaurant. The menu is a temporary one as they restructure or something. Not much I could have being gluten sensitive. Hopefully they will address that with the full menu. It seems like a great place for families. I guess just not our kind of place.
(4)Jake V.
We have been coming here for 3 years straight and never had any problems until our last visit. We called 5 months in advance to reserve our creek view cabin. We were set, until the day we arrived. Apparently reserving a cabin doesn't mean you actually reserve a cabin it just means you get what ever is available. We arrived last around 7 pm and were told that the only available cabins did NOT have a creek view. Strike 1. We walked into our cabin that has no creek view and it was a pet friendly room. My family is allergic to cats and dogs. Strike 2. We ask for another cabin apparently the last cabin available and we find out that the second bed room only has one bed. All other cabins have the second bedroom available with two beds. Strike 3. No one on the staff ever tried to explain or apologize for not giving us our reserved cabin. Very disappointed.
(2)Alexis m.
This place was great. We only stayed one night and didn't get a chance to check out all there is to do but I plan to go back. All things considered I cannot believe this place doesn't have more reviews and more great ones at that. Complaining about the beds being too soft? Stay home! The people were extremely nice, the place was gorgeous, the pool and spa were spotless and fun. The rooms were amazing and we got a great last minute deal. I loved having a little porch off our room to have coffee on in the morning! The surrounding forest is beautiful also and worthy of all sorts of exploration. Stay here!! These places don't exist everywhere, appreciate them!
(5)Julie S.
My husband and I celebrated our 10th anniversary at Kohl's Ranch this weekend. We had such a great time! The staff was amazing; so friendly and accommodating. They wished us a happy anniversary upon check-in and brought freshly baked cookies to our room. The room was quaint and clean with a cozy western atmosphere. Our favorite place was the back porch. We sat out there in rocking chairs enjoying the beautiful trees, fantastic weather and each others company. If you like peace and quiet... and happy people... Go! You will love it! We sure did! Leave your fancy dress clothes at home, it's all about casual up there!
(5)DW S.
Been going here since I was a little boy and now have taken my sons many times. The main place REALLY needs some updating, so we now stay in a cabin on the creek if at all possible.
(4)Sumit S.
It's good place for a family visit. Cabins gets warm in noon as there is just one window ac in 2 bed cabin.

My husband and I had the opportunity to stay in 2 Diamond resorts in the month of December, for an anniversary and a family vacation. We enjoyed them both but I think we would both agree we would return to Kohl's ranch before even Sedona. We thought the cabin was very roomy even with 3 active boys. The decorations were minimal but tasteful. The kitchen was well stocked and comfortable. But we were most impressed by the staff. Every encounter we had was a pleasure. One worker in particular kept the pool open a few minutes late so we could relax in the hot tub after a long day on the slopes. The creek was beautiful and very accessible. We can't wait to get back.
(5)Stacy L.
Sorry guys but I have to give a place with such a pretty ambiance one star for very, very poor customer service. I had stayed here one evening and had problems with the fireplace and the jacuzzi. The fireplace wouldn't start and the jacuzzi was having some malfunctions and making very loud noises in the middle of the night. It took over an hour to get help to fix it and I was sleep deprived the next day. The following morning I politely suggested that a complimentary night without any interruptions would be a nice gesture for the inconvenience. The manager on duty agreed. Every time I called to find a solution somebody would write down my information and I would never hear back. Finally, I spoke with Jacquelyn and she was extremely rude and unprofessional. Her idea of fixing the issue was to offer us the same rate that hotels.com is offering. This was completely opposite of the Diamond Resort Company Motto, "simply YES." For a company who's CEO never wants a customer to hear the word "no", customer service at Kohl's Ranch Lodge leaves a lot to be desired. I consider myself reasonable and this is not about a freebie. We returned to the place after this incident at full price. This is about a company that chooses to deal with customer issues by ignoring their repeated calls and takes a haughty attitude when given an opportunity to rectify a problem. I'm very disappointed, this was going to be a bi weekly get away place for me. Great place with terrible customer service that could easily ruin your experience. Proceed with caution if you decide to book here.

3 stars, I loved the fact we were in the outdoors enjoying the fun stuff to do around. They have bocce ball, tennis, basketball, horseshoes, hiking trails, creeks, hammocks, and just beautiful forest. The service was also phenomenal, there was always over the top service when I asked a question or asked for help (I was blown away by this). The negatives were the poor WI-FI internet service and the beds, although the beds were pillow tops I still had a terrible back pain after sleeping there for a few days. I hate to only give this place 3 stars because we really had a good time but I cant go back if I cant sleep. I maybe a little over-dramatic since my bed is heaven at home but for what you spend and they didn't put that much money into these cabins (not like it had granite counter-tops), they can spend a couple of dollars on a nice mattress.
(3)Rich F.
Old and run down with unexceptional food Rooms will REALLY disappoint if you travel for a living or usually stay in nice places. Also be advised that they don't service the room until you check out Probably it's just me. The other guests seemed pretty satisfied.
(2)Mina R.
This place is awesome!!! My friend and I went for my birthday weekend and upon arrival the front desk had cookies and a birthday card waiting. It was the sweetest thing ever! The rooms are nice with a huge patio. The grounds are beautiful!!!! Everybody that worked there were sooo friendly and helpful! If you you just want to get away from all the hustle and bustle of the city, then this is the place to stay for sure!! I can't wait to go back.

Kohl's Ranch, the good and the bad. Overall not somewhere we'd likely stay again, but probably a good fit for some others. The pros: *We were immediately greeted when we entered the lobby. We felt welcomed and comfortable. *Debbie in the Saloon gave great service, despite being slammed both afternoons/evenings of our stay. She never broke her stride. *Easy check in, easy check out. We were there on a livingsocial voucher but the service was just as if we'd made reservations directly. *Board games free at the front desk! *Movie rentals for $1. Lots to choose from. *Clean, well equipped fitness center. *Cute adirondack chairs on the semi-private patios. *Decent pizza. *Free calls from the room (very spotty cell service, so this is a great benefit). *Free wi-fi. *Nice quality sheets/bedding. *Small table & two chairs to play games or enjoy a snack/meal. *Super clean! *The studio had a kitchenette - having a fridge is always great. *We didn't use the pool or hot tub, but it seemed to be a hit. *Pet friendly! The cons: *The rooms (or at least ours) are showing their age. Still the room was very clean so this was of little consequence. *One of the smallest bathrooms I've ever seen. *Our bed was incredibly firm, to the point of waking up sore in the morning. *Poor quality food. The restaurant was not open during our stay, but food is available in the saloon from 4-8 Sun - Tues. We tried a burger w/fries and a cheesesteak with onion rings, along with the spinach dip. Only the onion rings would go on a "try again" list. Nothing tasted fresh, nor did it have much flavor. We had a veggie pizza the second night that was quite good though, and they accommodated our request for no cheese on half. *15 miles from town. This could be a "pro" for some, but due to the limited dining options and hours, it was a con for us. *The clincher to us not staying here again - - mid-shampoo the water went icy cold with no warning. An hour later we still didn't have hot water. As this was about an hour before the check out time, it stands to reason we weren't the only ones to have a shock during our morning shower. When we mentioned it at the desk, they were very nice, but said they thought it was only going to be five minutes so they didn't alert anyone. Had it only been five minutes in the middle of the night? Okay. But even only five minutes while many people would be showering (just before 9AM) probably was worth alerting people. Especially since it ended up being longer. Over all this may be a fine spot for those looking for more "rustic" accommodations. If you plan on cooking in your room, or grilling on the available grills and don't mind the dated rooms and hard (seriously so hard) bed, this could be great for you. The grounds are pretty and the area is beautiful.

Kohl's Ranch has lots of character, lots of nice people, and a great location. No comment on the food as we were in a cabin and brought our own. The prices do seem a little high as you can get much larger cabins and amenities at other mountain properties.
(3)Pam Z.
Super cute, very friendly and comfortable.

This place is a hidden gem. Kohl's Ranch is the perfect weekend getaway. The rooms are clean and the beds very comfortable. They have a nice restaurant that has good food, but most of the rooms are equipped with a stove or a microwave if you choose to cook instead. They also have several gas grills around the property. They have a nice pool and sauna. On Saturday nights they do karaoke in the saloon which is also a good time. Can't wait to go back again.
(4)KATE J.
We have not stayed here- but have toured their property! Its a great place with families, as there is room to run, there is also a small playground and a pool onsite- The rooms themselves are fine- Nothing extrodinary, but dont forget where you are at! We did get lunch at their restaurant on site and that was great! Their Vegetable beef stew is out of this world! Its somewhat dark inside, and I really wish they would put 3-4 ourdoor umbrellas on the outside patio- The views are great- you can sit out there and eat, - YET THE Sunglare as of right NOW- REALLY prevents that- TOO bright- those umbrellas at even 100.00 per would really add to the place! Check it out for yourself! Try them! :)
