Inn at a Glance: Kohl's Ranch Lodge

Central Arizona’s seemingly endless stretches of rugged terrain sparked creativity in writer Zane Grey. The scenery served as his inspiration for 64 novels and more than 300 short stories, culminating in the Western classic Riders of the Purple Sage. Grey lived near Payson, Arizona where Kohl’s Ranch Lodge now sits. There's a rugged cowboy feel to the lodge-style accommodations, which also include modern touches such as free WiFi, cable TV, and partial kitchens.

  • Eat well at the onsite Zane Grey Country Barbecue & Great Pizza, where you can grab burgers or try the famous peach cobbler. Closed Monday & Tuesday. Open Wednesday-Friday 11a-8pm Open Saturday & Sunday 8am-8pm.

Payson, Arizona: Historical Western Culture on Rugged Mogollon Rim

Pine trees cover the nearly 3-million-acre Tonto National Forest, which surrounds the town of Payson in central Arizona. About 35 miles from Payson is one of the state's most popular outdoor destinations: the Mogollon Rim, a towering cliff about 2,000 feet high that stretches for roughly 200 miles. Hundreds of miles of roads provide access to the rim’s awe-inspiring scenery, passing campsites, hiking trails, and lakes good for fishing. Black bears, bobcats, and white-tailed deer have all been spotted in the forested hills.

Great place for family time. Newly remodeled room was very clean and the staff was extremely friendly. I wish we stayed longer than 2 nights. Grounds were perfectly kept and lots of activities on site to keep busy! Pool was amazingly heated to perfection. Restaurant on site had very tasty food!

Our favorite getaway spot This had been our second stay at Kohl's Ranch Lodge and we love it. Fresh mountain air and beautiful views. The rooms are cozy and comfortable. Electric fire place and all the kitchen necessities you need. We'll be returning here for future stays to get out of the city.

Our new family destination The resort was beautiful and well maintained. The cabin was cozy and had everything we needed. We loved being right on the creek and having a huge, private porch. There were many activities provided by the resort making our stay with two small children stress free and fun. They offer put-put, giant chess, bocca ball, horseshoes, volleyball, pickle ball, checkers, and have boardgames to take to your room. There are many trails nearby too. We will be coming back as often as we can!

Excellent - only problem was internet - WiFi This is a beautiful resort inside and out. Staff members are helpful and give excellent customer service. They really want you to have a perfect stay. Our cabin was clean, comfortable, had a full kitchen and had great beds. We stayed in #303 and had the creek right behind us. It was too cold for us to sit out on the back porch, but it was an idyllic setting. It’s geographic location was good for us because it was within an hour or 2 to visit the places we wanted to go. The one issue was the erratic WiF- internet coverage. It’s not that it’s completely absent, but it’s sporadic which meant a constant need to turn off the WiFi repeatedly to connect. Since we have Verizon, our hotspot availability was also sporadic, but we were able to get good connections if we went to Payson (about 15 minutes away). For some people this might actually be a positive to be disconnected from the world of phones, social media and work; but it wasn’t a positive for us.
