We enjoyed this property very much! The room with full kitchen and patio was perfect. No mold in the bathroom. Everything was clean. Staff was helpful. Restaurant on site was meh and expensive. Took a day trip to tonto national bridge and then up to Pine/strawberry to walk around and eat at Old Country Inn. Great pizza!

We really enjoyed our stay at the kohl ranch. The only complaint I have is the bed were so hard that I woke with my back seizing up on my every morning. Is was like sleeping on a plank of wood.

No wifi, so no phones. Good if you want to have no communication with anyone, bad if you do need to communicate

Property is beautiful! The inside of the first room I had was really nice, as was the second room after I asked To upgrade or move because not all the patio views are created equal! They did move us from room 113 (parking lot view baking right up to the patio) to room 125, patio right outside the pool and garden area view. Was beautiful.
Restaurant staff were very nice! This place is simply gorgeous!
Ask about your patio view before you walk to you room!

It was a nice stay, room was clean and comfortable. Unfortunately we were not aware of the adjoining restaurant being closed on the days we were there but desk clerk gave us great tips on food nearby. Also be sure to have money available in your banking acct for the deposit when you arrive. It’s returned by resort after check out then how ever long it takes your bank to deposit it back into your acct. The room price is very reasonable, but the deposit situation could be an issue for some if not expecting it.

I have stayed several times at Kohls Ranch and was welcomed "home" when I checked in. As a single person. the Studio Units are perfect with kitchenette, stovetop. frig and dishwasher. Equally good for a couple with king sized bed.
