Guest Reviews

Caitlin (10/5): - Everything was great!
stacy (10/5): - Everyone was great
Maureen (10/5): - The cabin is clean, bathroom sparkling. Staff were welcoming, friendly, approachable, and helpful. Pet friendly with no hassles, comparatively small fee. Family friendly, Delicious!, hot breakfast (free entrée in lodge restaurant). We arrived very late, so checked in over the phone with no hassles. Not so great is the 10am check out for cabins. Strange, somewhat long, steep steps down to most cabins were difficult for those with disabilities to traverse. If needed, ask for cabin with fewer steps or if they have one that is fully accessible. Overall, we enjoyed it so much we stayed two extra days.
Tammie (10/5): Simple Pleasure - It is an older property owned by the state of Kentucky, has not been updated, but it still had a charm. The old doors on each room, it was simple and very clean. Breakfast in the restaurant was fresh and prepared just as requested. So good. My waitress was the sweetest. I was at my daughter's wedding and the desk clerk called to see if I was still coming because it was so late. She was so welcoming. I heard some staff talking about how long it had been since they had gotten a raise. I felt so bad for them because each one I met gave their all to make my stay wonderful. They are the heart of the Kenlake and the as representatives of our state. They were a big part of my very restful stay for the mother of a bride. If you love simplicity, beautiful views, a good peaceful walk and friendliness, this is your place. Blessings!!!
Gary (10/5): - Nice stay staff was very friendly and helpful good food in restaurant.
Chad (10/5): Great stay - Place was great. My wife adored it and said it felt just like a bedroom at home. Sunrise was excellent over the river
Roger (10/5): - Clean & great staff
sharon (10/5): - Excellent place to stay
James (8/5): - I’ve stayed here many times over the years the price is about mid range, the place is clean, but very dated. It needs alot of TLC, but you can bring your dogs with you.
Valda (10/5): - Peaceful and beautiful! A gorgeous view of Kentucky Lake. Lovely pool, delicious breakfasts and friendly service. We'll be back!
John (10/5): - Great breakfast, good service, ease checking in and checking out, changed rooms to have a screened in porch with no problem!
SUSAN (10/5): Great place - Beautiful setting. Great place for us to spend a night while traveling through. Restaurant open Wed - Sun for dinner. Great friendly staff.
vicki (6/5): - Beautiful location. Definitely rural and in the forest. Cabins need updating. Lighting needs attention,it's a safety concern in some areas. We stayed here 18 years ago..... Literally nothing has changed inside.
Yao (10/5): - Closed to lakes
Douglas Matthew (10/5): - Great place to stay
Debra (10/5): - This establishment brought back memories of past years, not overly updated but clean and comfortable. Had everything we needed especially the frig/ freezer in the room. Numerous activities in the area.
Jon (10/5): - Great staff
Whit (8/5): Hummingbird Festival weekend. - This was a weekend trip to the hummingbird festival at Land Between the Lakes. The room was clean, the grounds were nice and quiet. We did not eat dinner at the lodge but the breakfast was very good. Close to fishing areas, LBL facilities, and other restaurants.
Nancy (10/5): - Kenlake is a gem for Kentucky state parks. It’s not luxurious-but a perfect cabin getaway with clean rooms, walkable to lodge and pool. Free breakfast was delicious!
David (10/5): - Location was great for distance to Land between the Lakes main road. Would have been nice to have a microwave but everything else was great. Arrived early & the clerk went ahead & checked me in so I could rest up & get out of the heat. Looking forward to going back
Rachel (10/5): - Great value for a cabin get a way
Catherine (8/5): - The staff were super nice and helpful.
Charles (8/5): - It's on one of Kentuckys biggest lakes shared with Tennessee It's cabins are in a quiet area close to the lake edge. Our cabin was nestled amongst trees. Maintenance was a little outdated. Gutters has not been cleared of leaf or tree limb debris. Wooden planks have raised due to tree limb issues. Could cause slips trips and falls. A black mold/detritis on the drainpipe area not removed. Overall it's a state park. Thoroughly enjoyed my weekend
Teria (4/5): - 167 for 7 hours if that cause there was brown recrusle spiders one bit me crawled up on the couch and I got a huge mark on me now I’d like a refund honestly we had to leave it was mine and my husbands 14 yr anniversary he has stage 3 throat cancer thought this would be perfect but it wasn’t. The porch by the door was breaking off as well.
Thomas (10/5): - Cottage was very clean
Chase (10/5): - Always stay here when we plan to visit Kentucky Lake. Always exceeds expectations. Staff is friendly, pet friendly, and clean!
Verified traveler (8/5): - It was clean. Beds are comfy. Pillows supportive.. cooked to order breakfast with complimentary coupons upon check-in. Fresh hot coffee. And my favorite real cream and butter..
kim (4/5): - We were not provided the accomodations that we reserved.
Joel (6/5): Dated Resort Park that still offers value - The lake resort park is a more dated version of Lake Barkley's accomodations. We stayed in a cottage that,was the perfect size forbus as a couple celbrating our anniversary. The biggest issues were with our shower. The tub (and the bathroom sink) didn't drain well. Initially, there was a shower curtain hung that was too short and let water all over the floor. Because they hung a single panel curtain, and the shower is very narrow, you couldn't have the exhaust fan running or the curtain would blow onto you while you washed. The faucet sprayed water all over even while the shower head was on. Because of this wasted water, the hot water ran out quickly. After we informed the front desk, they did replace our shower curtain with a longer one (although it was still single panel), and they fix the sink drain and slightly improved the tub drain. On the plus side, the shower head was great! The cottage had a nice kitchen, dining table, and couch. The TV mounting and location in both the living room and bedroom could have been better, but it was sufficient. The bed was comfortable. The best thing about Kenlake is the location. There is easy acces to most things in the area. Staff were pleasant enough... although the restaurant staff got easily overwhelmed during the Saturday morning breakfast rush. Hopefully this resort park will get an upgrade now that Lake Barkley Resort Park is about down with their renovation.
Jennilyn (10/5): Hidden Gem - Beautiful view. Excellent pool. Restaurant & bar on site. My room had a mini frig & microwave plus a coffee maker & hair dryer.
Fred (8/5): - Unique features and the lake was beautiful.
George (10/5): - Very relaxing and comfortable stay. Free breakfast and very good food.
Patty (10/5): - Nice staff quiet clean
Kelly (10/5): - This was one of our best trips EVER! The staff throughout the entire park were so nice and friendly, the restaurant was great, and everything was super clean. The rooms are a little small, but we had enough room for the weekend. We WILL be back.
Lana (8/5): Great getaway weekend at LBL! - Our stay was very good. The room was very clean, the bed was comfortable. Everything we needed was pretty much supplied. The service was really good also. The only real issue was the air conditioning unit was very noisy. It woke us up multiple times each night, both nights of our stay. The unit could really use an overhaul.
William (10/5): - I have always loved Kenlake Cabins are nicely upgraded Free breakfast is still good
Kristi (8/5): - Kenlake is always great
Robert (10/5): - Lakefront dining and the peaceful atmosphere
Susan (10/5): - Wonderful facility. Beautifully situated on the lake front. Clean and nicely decorated. Great breakfast included with the room. Land Between the Lakes has plenty of interesting attractions. An excellent choice for a family vacation!
Robert (10/5): - Great customer service
Angela (10/5): - Beautiful quiet area near the lake. Spacious cabins with what we needed. Nothing fancy but nice and clean. Mattresses were newer and comfortable. It offers a very nice breakfast cooked to your order. Be sure to put exactly how many in your party to get vouchers. We stay here every year and love it.
Rebecca (10/5): - Great place
DeWayne (10/5): - Beautiful property, awesome stay!
Mindy (8/5): - Overall it was good. Housekeeping did not come by and get djrty towels and get trash. I think they swere short staffed but overall it was clean, everyone was friendly and i would come back.
Dennis (10/5): - It's a nice quiet place to get away and relax I would recommend it
Marla (10/5): - It was a beautiful, clean place, with such friendly staff. The cottage I stayed in was quiet and clean. Even when our large group was eating together in the dining room, ordering it all at once, the staff did not become flustered. The grounds were immaculate. I can't wait to visit again next year
Joel (4/5): - This is a very bare bones stay. No extra pillows or blankets. No artwork on the walls. There were sticky traps in the kitchen that had a dead mouse on it in plain view by the fridge.
James (8/5): - We were at the resort for a Jeep Jamboree and could not have been happier with both the accommodations and location. The cottage was well appointed and comfortable. The staff at the resort were extremely pleasant and accommodating.
Jodie (8/5): - Property nice and clean service was good. Food in the restaurant was excellent. The facilities just need some serious maintenance and updating. Was also disappointed in the view from the room. The trees have overgrown to the point you can’t tell you are even lake front.
Jason (8/5): - A great place to stay while spending the weekend in the area. About the only things i could complain about were the games in the game room were terribly glitchy or otherwise nonfunctional, leaving the kiddo very disappointed. Also would have been nice to have a frig in the rooms for leftovers from the awesome local restaurants.
Wyatt (10/5): - We had a wonderful stay here. The property was well maintained and quiet. Was within a very reasonable distance of the marina, dining, and lake facilities. The traffic was minimal, and the area was beautiful.
Lisa (10/5): Absolutely recommend! - We were traveling through on our way to Wisconsin, from Florida. Paduca, kentucky is the halfway point. We've always stayed there, until I found this location on hotel's.com it was the best decision, pet friendly, cottages & hotel, dining room and breakfast included.
Lisa (10/5): Great place for a quiet stay - Wonderful spot close to all the ammenities and reeort bar and grill as well as the dining room was a great surprise. We rented a cottage and it was perfect so we booked again for our return trip.
Jennifer (10/5): Get Away - This was an impromptu get away with my sister. Property was clean and staff was welcoming. Beds and pillows were comfortable. View from our window was not good and the windows were pretty dirty. But, there were plenty of other places to get a clear view.
Andrew (8/5): - Property was convenient to my activities.
Mark (10/5): - This is a wonderful and affordable lodge on an amazing lake, close to a marina, fishing, trails, even excellent local dining options. I highly recommend.
Kristy (6/5): - It’s a nice place, just a few small things that were aggravating. The refrigerator in the room makes loud noises which woke us up both nights, the bathroom sink water comes out so hard it sprays everywhere, one of the night stand lamps wasn’t plugged in and I could not find the outlet even after moving the mattress a little. Bright side it is clean, and has what we needed for our short weekend and this is the closest place to the marina.
Vickie (10/5): - The only thing we did not like was the bed. We thought we had a queen or king bed. It was a double bed only. Comfortable but we needed more room. Did not sleep well for fear of falling off the bed. The tv remote system and directions for use was a joke. Had to call for assistance and the 2nd room we reserved for my sister didn’t have correct remote in room to operate the tv.
Stella (10/5): - loved it
Marian (10/5): - The staff is by far the best, from check in to check out. Every person working there was amazing!
Sharon (8/5): - We had a leak in the bathroom but there was alot of rain, otherwise everything as great. Very nice employees
Jenifer (10/5): - This is a WONDERFUL place to stay!
Verified traveler (4/5): Mediocre - Room key was keyed wrong. Had to drive back to desk to have desk clerk make another key card. TV in living room didnt work.
Kim (6/5): - This is our favorite place to stay when we travel to Kentucky due to the location. During this stay, weather was chilly and we were unable to get heat to work. Additionally, there were issues with the cable company that limited access to some of the TV stations that are usually available. Would recommend for anyone looking to get away to a quiet and beautiful place for a weekend or a vacation. Staff is always great and friendly.
Angela (10/5): - Great place to stay . Very quiet. Very friendly staff
Adam (10/5): - Very enjoyable stay. Convenient parking
Elias (8/5): - Enjoyed the pool and the beautiful views of the lake.
Jennifer (8/5): - Staff were very kind and helpful, food was good. Property is beautiful, hotel lobby could use some updating.
Robert (8/5): - Great Staff. Quiet, clean facilities.
John (10/5): - This is a unique place. We stayed in a cabin. Breakfast was included, and the service was excellent.
Christina (10/5): - I loved it very peaceful and relaxing staff was polite and amazing the complamanery breakfast was served to us by someone and it was hot and fresh will definitely be returning
James (10/5): Kenlake Cottage - Our one night stay was great! The cottage was super quiet and quaint even though it was a busy weekend at the state park. Our stay also included free breakfast vouchers which was nice because there isn’t much around to eat. They did charge a $50 per fee which we were not told about until we checked out. That was the only disappointment in our stay.
Donna (6/5): - when arriving the reservations from hotels.com didn't go thru to kenlake resort hotel. they were kind enough (julie) to honor the price i received on hotels.com site.
Austin (10/5): - It is a great get away right on the lake.
Carrie (10/5): - So nice and peaceful! Clean and breakfast was yummy with a great view!
Eric M (10/5): - The staff was excellent and accomadating.
Ashley (10/5): - Great place
sharon (8/5): - Great place to stay for a couple nights. Delicious breakfast
Greg (10/5): - Overall very enjoyable. Staff was helpful & personable. We would go back..
thomas hunter (10/5): - The view was nice. The bartender was really friendly, the breakfast was good. The outside could use a good pressure washing.
Dawn (10/5): - Will definitely stay there again!
Antonio (10/5): - Very kind, very helpful, VERY clean. Great for kiddos!
Delorse (10/5): Highly recommended place to stay - Wonderful people, very friendly and helpful! Will stay again! Great place to stay! Would highly recommend for a place to stay!
Joshua (10/5): - Beautiful and peaceful
Teresa (10/5): - Great stay, I love our Ky state parks, clean, comfy great food, beautiful view
Bruce (8/5): - Limited breakfast menu but what was available was good.
Peggy (8/5): - We liked the quietness. Beautiful views. The grounds around the lodge could use some sprucing up. Even though dinner was not served on Monday evening, we went to the Kenlake Marina and had dinner at the Burger Bar and Grill and it was excellent. We were right on the water and enjoyed a beautiful night.
Joann (10/5): - An older resort, but quite comfortable. Some might complain it needs to be updated more, but that would change the quaint atmosphere. Restaurant prices were very reasonable, especially for a resort. Had a nice pool overlooking the lake. We were there only 1 night so didn't didn't get opportunity to explore much. Will consider going back for longer stay.
Janice (10/5): - Pool and views of lake.
Frances (10/5): - Beautiful place
calvin (10/5): - fishing
Kenneth (10/5): - This is a beautiful property in a lakeside setting. As with all Kentucky State parks, the service is great and the lodgings very clean. We stayed in a cottage for the same price as a cheap motel in town.
Debra (10/5): Hidden Gem - We were only guests for one night but we definitely would love to return one day. The hotel staff were especially welcoming and pleasant. The decor of the room was pleasing and everything was clean. I really enjoyed the oversized towels and toiletries. The breakfast was not your typical hotel buffet with so-so food. We were offered a choice of breakfast by a server that was prepared to order. It was delicious. I can't say enough about how delightful our stay was at Kenlake.
jeanna (10/5): - beautiful scenery
Derrick (10/5): - I like the fact that it’s run by the state of Kentucky. The price is amazing, especially for the cottages. Very scenic.
Leigh (10/5): Kenlake - My only complaint if any would be the beds should be larger
Johnny (10/5): - Convenient
Owen (10/5): - This is a real treasure! The cottage was spacious, and very clean--everything we were looking for in a getaway
Judy (8/5): - It was very clean and pretty. Would have liked a mini fridge in the room.
Angel (10/5): Birthday getaway was fabulous! - we had a really nice weekend, my only complaint would be that there is no mini fridge, and no actual vending machines. I do wish the resturaunt were open a little later but the food we had WAS AMAZING and portions were EXCELLENT
