Kohl's Ranch Lodge

Kohl's Ranch Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"The staff was friendly and accommodating! The room was good, we stayed in the main hotel not the cabins. The pool was excellent and there were a few fun things to do as a family like putting golf and a creek to walk by. The restaurant had good food but was expensive. We took pony rides nearby which is not a part of the hotel but very close."

10/10 Excellent
"The pictures did not do it justice. The patio was great; large and well furnished for sitting around while it rained or having a fire with s'mores. Lots of room for everyone to spread out. Everything we needed in the kitchen. Although we never spoke to the owner he was very responsive by email. He had a yard and doggie door for our petswhich was a plus. Can't say enough good things about this place. We will be back."
