Kohl’s Resort has become our favorite place to get away. From the first moment we arrive, we are relaxed. The beautiful views and sunsets alone are good for the soul. The resort layout allows you to join in on the many fun activities that are available, or spend some quiet time by your fire or on the deck. The cabins are clean, spacious and comfortable. Ashley and Brian are so welcoming and friendly and take care of any questions. We recommend Kohl’s Resort to everyone!
