Great overnight stay

Spent one night while traveling from North Carolina to Missouri. Room was very clean and comfortable. Decor was a little dated. Had breakfast in the restaurant. Food was very good and some of the best prices we have seen recently. Service was over the top.

Enjoyed the quiet, beautiful property during the 1st week of October. Lakeside sunsets were amazing! The villa was clean and comfortable. Loved convenient restaurant and pub on property with reasonable prices and friendly staff. Went to Crystal Onyx cave and rented a pontoon from the Narrows Marina. Our first trip to Kentucky from Indiana and we look forward to another visit.

Pleasant stay

We visited frim out of state for the first time. We stayed in the lodge. You can tell they are older buildings but kept very clean. Our room was very roomy and comfortable. It would be nice to have a little mini fridge to keep cold drinks or left overs from the restaurant but otherwise it was a good stay.

We stayed at the lodge and although it’s old it was comfortable. The area has a golf course right there and some really nice walking and bike paths. The restaurant on site has something for everyone. We’ll definitely be going back.

The villa was beautiful, quiet, and clean. The property seems very well maintained. The breakfast that was included was not nearly as good as the other two Kentucky state resort parks we've stayed at, but at least it did have some hot breakfast.

Plan on waking up early.

It was a nice park. Hotel wasn't anything special. Comfortable bed, dated rooms. You hear everything in the connecting rooms. No fridg or microwave even though the cabinets were made for them. Pool still under construction. The park staff was nice enough to mow the grass right outside everyones room at 7:55 In the morning. Brilliant. That should say somthing about the way the property is managed.
