Did you know the mere sight of water can help you relax? That's why you should visit Cave Run Lake. From the gorgeous views to the tranquil sounds of nature, this place will help you find your peace.

This body of water is one of the best free attractions in Kentucky. But there's plenty more to keep you occupied in this area. If you'd love some ideas about where to head to after Cave Run Lake, we recommend Daniel Boone National Forest.

9.4/10 Exceptional! (1,317 reviews)
This is an aesthetically interesting place. It’s a nice step away from your typical hotel and the sea of greys and beiges. Location was nice, sprawled between the VA medical center and the University of Cincinnati. The view from the bar across the lawn is lovely. I would stay here again, given the opportunity.

7.6/10 Good! (1,001 reviews)
The lobby was very nice and clean. However, the toilet in our room was not installed properly and was very wobbly. The room seemed a bit worn.
