Kohl's Ranch Lodge

In the shadow of the Mogollon Rim and on the banks of Tonto Creek in Payson, AZ, this lodge sits amid the world’s largest Ponderosa Pine Forest. Tucked in the Kohls Ranch area with easy access off South Kohl's Ranch Lodge Road, it feels like a back‑country escape with small‑town charm.

Expect a casual, western‑hospitality vibe and rooms that keep things simple and comfortable. Rooms include air conditioning, TV, tea/coffee maker, alarm clock, hairdryer and shower, with ironing facilities and toiletries provided in many categories. Perfect for active days on the Rim or laid‑back porch time by the creek.

Swim in indoor and outdoor pools, work out in the fitness center, or tee off at the on‑site mini‑golf. The property also features a casino, picnic and barbeque areas, kids’ playroom, parking, laundry and a safe‑deposit box. Wake up to pine‑scented mornings and creekside air.

Free Wi‑Fi across the property and on‑site car parking make stays convenient for work or road trips; English‑speaking staff are available to assist.

An on‑site restaurant and bar serve meals and drinks, while picnic and BBQ areas let you grill under the pines. Grab a coffee in the morning and enjoy the creekside view.
