Fabulous stay in town for a wedding!
The facilities and the location were fabulous. While most amenities weren't open because it's still the off season, we were in town for a wedding and couldn't have picked a better place.

Our room was ready early, and was extremely clean.
We had a great view of the lake. The property is beautifully maintained. Other than rough weather, it was a great few days away.

Peaceful area with great amenities when visiting with family. Did not realize lodge doesn't come with microwave or mini refrigerator definitely would look into cottage next time or bring cooler. The area doesn't have lots of food options so bring your own food is a must unless you're going to eat at lodge restaurant every day. Amazing trip with my sister will be back next year.

Lovely state park but not winter friendly. I chose this lodge for the warmth of the lovely pics of lobby fireplace and lake view. I think there were only 3 other rooms rented on a Friday night. When I asked about fireplace not burning, employee at check in
told me their wood was too wet. But the next morning a different employee had started a fire.
The room was basic but very clean and had nice towels. There is a balcony looking over the lake. Rooms require outside walk to lodge. Many nice property amenities for warmer weather. Many things were “out of order.” No coffee out our whole stay. I understand there were few guests to serve but I still paid for my room with expectations. Very limited continental breakfast. We ate in dining room Friday evening and food was very tasty. Service was very friendly at dinner. Again very few guests. (6)

This was a perfect retreat during our roadtrip to get away from cities and roads. We already had a good experience with Kentucky parks, and this just confirmed our view. For what you get out of the stay it was not that expensive. There is a small pool with sunchairs, which were at most half occupied. A few minutes walk from the lodges you had a lake with a beach area. There were a lot of families here during the day, but a bit calmer towards the evening. The lodges had a beautiful view of the lake, and balconies where we spent the evenings. Would definitely recommend staying here!
