Absolutely love Kohls Ranch! We come here every chance we can. Jenn is always so nice and accommodating and Heather helped us get pool chairs when there was none available. So sweet. The bar and restaurant are fantastic! Liz and Lizzy are the best ! The food is so good. They home cook everything. Every soup I’ve ever had was amazing! Can’t wait to come back !

10/10 Exceptional

This is a gem only a little over an hour from our home in Phoenix. It was our first time here although I have wanted to stay here since I was a kid. The room was lovely, the grounds clean and fresh, and the amenities excellent. Great pool, and every room has a balcony for sitting in the great outdoors. Also, if you go, have the Blueberry Cobbler at the restaurant. You will thank yourself.

2/10 Poor

So many better places to stay, avoid this one

They do not make clear, either themselves or the Hotels.com listing, that there are $42/nigh resort fees, so when you check in you are blindsided by a rate that is exorbitantly higher than what you thought you were paying. Also, the AC unit did not work in my room. They switched me to another room, also without AC. Front desk staff is rude and unhelpful.

6/10 Good

Good, but not exceptional

I think it’s a good place, but not exceptional. I feel like exceptional places go above and beyond and really nail the finer details. This place did not. These are a few minor issues that took it down a notch for me: loose toilet seat, very wobbly kitchen table, no spare trash bags, found rodent poison just around the corner from our door (we have a small toddler so that was a bit concerning), no welcoming info or wifi instructions in the room, and the walls are paper thin (we could hear almost every word of our neighbors through the wall), very small bedroom and bed. Also, when I booked I thought I was getting an individual cabin next to the creek so feel like the booking could have more clear about what exact room/cabin we were getting because instead we got a cabin with shared walls on the far side of the creek, which made things more inconvenient. Lastly we tried to order a meal at the restaurant, but could only get voicemail despite it being dinner time. We tried calling several times, but eventually had to physically go to the restaurant to place an order. Apparently there wad only one person in the restaurant doing everything? Overall a good place, but I wouldn’t call it exceptional.

Animal unfriendly “ranch”!

We arrived with our family dog and were informed that Kohl’s was NOT pet friendly! So we were not allowed a room. I’ll know not to prepay, or make reservations through a third party again!

Weve gone annually for several years. Always a good experience. Sometimes hiccups. This trip had more hiccups than usual. Cabin wasn't ready despite early check in. Only 1 person manning a line of over 10. Had to get in line 3 time's. Spring rat traps in cabin i luckily got to before my toddler. Multiple cabin lights not working. The dish drainer and dishes all needed washing BEFORE use. And ac cover repeatedly popped off when heat kicked on and off. Spooky at 3am! Lol But...tv was a lot better. (Last time in this cabin it was going out...looks like a new one now) New coffee pots. (Half the size), no other functionality issues. Great veiw. Hardly anything going on. Im used to seeing the saloon open and smores and workers about. I think i saw 2 workers the whole trip.
