Comfortable rooms and cabins along Tonto Creek, Good fishing, creek stocked. A little far(16 miles) from Payson.
I went on a trail ride here and it was a great time! Beautiful setting and very nice horses. I do know how to ride but it would be great for all levels. Check it out when in Payson AZ-also a great place to visit.
We had a nice quiet hour long ride along a winding trail. Our guide was especially nice and engaging. Hope to go again soon!
The "Raceways" that the small fish are swimming look full and very well kept. The inside building gave all the stories behind the scenes.
We came after the Labor Day holiday so may have gotten an off-season rate, but our guide & horses were superb. The animals are clearly well cared for & the guide loved her job!
LOVED THE TRAIL. went for my birthday and absoluelty loved it the staffs amazing thanks so much. This made this past birthday the most remember able one yet and made it like a tradition I will be back next year on my birthday as well
The guides knew what they were talking about and made me feel comfortable (hadn't been riding since a teen). The scenary was beautiful and my horse was great. Haven't had that much fun in a while.
We booked a week at Kohl's Resort Lodge & were really looking forward to being at a resort with horseback riding on the premises. When I called ahead to double check cabin & book horses, we were informed that the horse stable was closed down. Because cabin booked in advance, it wasn't possible to cancel. The entire resort needs a makeover, furniture in cabin old & dirty, restaurant pricey for the food quality, & just not enough to do in the winter months with no stables. It was one of the most boring vacations I've taken although staff was very nice! Thank God for the casino in Payson or I would have left in a few days instead of just a day early.
Stable hands were kind and generous with their time with our children and grandchildren. SOXX was the highlight for our granddaughter's trip.
Sure you can pony up (get it?) and ride horses, but for the kids? When they have time, the stable hands'll let your little ones ride (guided of course) for about 10 minutes, or 100 yards in a loop around the parking lot.. If they've never been on/around a horse, this is a great first time experience, and tips are appreciated. *Ask for Socks, the kids love Socks..
