This property really brings you into the camping environment. The view is stunning. There is plenty to do for a weekend. Horseback riding, bison prairie, hiking, fishing, planetarium, sight seeing and more. The room and area around the lodges was very musty. It smelled like you were in a moss ridden forest. They folded the toilet paper but didn’t clean the toilet. The back deck was mosquito infested. Like hundreds swarming around. (Unusable - do not open the back door). Air conditioning would not cool the room down until 3am. TV did not work. Best amenities- lakeside view, proximity to activities. Book if that is your goal. Do not book if you’re aiming for any luxury in your room and board.

We arrived and checked in. I expected a nice clean room for $200 a night. I was very disappointed. The room had a dank moldy smell with layer upon layer of dust in the paneling. The cable was out. At a rate of $200 a night I expected more than a room reminiscent of a 4H summer camp. We went right back to the desk and left. As someone that was born and raised in Kentucky the shape of the lodge is an embarrassment. The one good point was a beautiful view of Lake Barkley. The exterior of building we were in was also dirty and un maintained. Did not appear that any of the walk ways had been swept or in any way kept clear. Will not return. I normally do not review establishments, but as I thought that this would be an outstanding stay at a beautiful setting and was so disappointed I thought I should voice my opinion. I hope this helps get much needed updates to the facility, so that Kentucky citizens can be proud of their state park facilities.

Actual room was not as pictured. Room was not recently cleaned. Has to sweep floor and felt dust on floor after. Dead spiders, dirty balcony. Had to ask for additional chair for balcony. Asked for pet friendly unit we were put downstairs not near and grassy areas. The lodge was not ready for spring/holiday guests. Property needs leaves/debris landscape cleanup. Will probably not return.
