We had a great view from our room of the lake. The restaurant was a five minute walk away. The food was really good. Our room was nice and clean fresh air conditioner worked. Everything was just right. It’s our second time here and will be coming again just because of what I mentioned.

Great place to stay even if you don't plan on using the facilities there. The breakfast buffet is great, and reasonably priced. It's an actual restaurant, not just a hotel breakfast.

We went on Easter, and missed that the restaurant would be closed while we were there. Other than not having dinner, the room was clean, quiet, and comfortable. The views and hiking trails were very nice. I look forward to going back in the future.

All of the KyY State Parks are a wonderful experience. The rooms are clean, comfortable and the staff is super nice. The restaurant offered delicious buffets and off the menu meals. Lots of opportunities to hike, see the sites. There are local restaurants, amenities and seasonal opportunities. Overall a great experience.

We were in town for a family reunion staying in one of the two bedroom cottages. Our cottage was clean, and stocked. The only thing missing was an extra blanket. We enjoyed our stay and just wish the weather would have been better to explore! We plan to return for another visit!

Great getaway for couples!

Weekend stay didn't disappoint! Great location near the Rough River Dam, with a view from our room that was absolutely beautiful. Check-in was fast, and the both the lodge and room were clean. A highlight was an American Eagle flying by the lodge during our morning coffee on the balcony. We will definitely be back!
