Relaxing visit

This was the perfect opportunity for us to hang out while not being stuck on campus. Everybody was able to relax and Visit in such a peaceful setting. The ride to campus wasn’t very long Which made it a nice alternative to being in a hotel.

Staff was wonderful, especially Ken and Kim. Coming there for years, at least 13yrs. Was clean but the couches in livingroom were very worn out and as a senior with arthritis in low back made it hard to sit in livingroom. Brought in a kitchen chair but that gets uncomfortable after time. This was cabin 11 from 29Aug-02Sep. Overall a nice place

Great place to stay. Out of the way, but not hard to find. Not fancy, but comfortable and we had everything we needed. There's a lot to do and and see even if you're not boating or fishing. Lovely place. We can't wait to go again!

Great Family Retreat

This was our second stay here. The first time was only my wife and I for our anniversary. We enjoyed it so much that we brought our children along. The location is quiet and secluded and the staff are all friendly, courteous, and helpful. The water on the cove is very calm with no wake issues. It's also shallow so it's easy for wading and beginning kayakers don't have to worry. The cabins have full kitchens and a nice complement of dishes, utensils, and cookware. The beds are comfortable. i prefer a little firmer but I'm a heavy guy so slimmer people should be very happy. Nevertheless, I slept well for three nights and didn't wake up with any pains. The grounds have plenty of chairs and patio furniture located throughout as well as firepits and firewood. We will definitely go back again.

weekend getaway to Kentucky Lake 3/19 to 3/21

Kate was awesome. She upgraded our unit. Yes, we were here during the Covid19 period and most things were closed. We enjoyed hikes in LBL and Kentucky Dam. Our unit was cozy and clean. Everything we needed. Hope to bring kids and grandkids when season is warmer.

Great place, we unknowingly booked the smallest cabin on premise. It was clean slightly outdated, but nice. The staff, especially Ken goes above and beyond to make your stay great. The views of the lake/river are spectacular. Read your confirmation email, bring towel! We didn’t but they accomadated us! Great place we will be back! The pics were taken from another cabins deck.

We really enjoyed our stay at Paradise Resort. Our cottage was right on the lake so we were able to sit on the deck and look out at the water. The cottage was in great condition. Peggy was wonderful!! The maintenance department was very friendly and helpful as well.

We made a last minute reservation for the 4th of July weekend and the owners/managers went out of their way to find us a boat for 2 days and provide us a place to stay. Overall the property was in good shape but the trailer we stayed in had seen better days BUT the kids had a great time canoeing, fishing, boating and watching the fireworks. The property is definitely not a 5 star resort and the trailer and boats left a lot to be desired. But the friendliness of the staff and the lengths they went to satisfy our needs was great. I would go back again and just stay in a different unit. Not crowded, lake was great and charges were very reasonable for a holiday weekend.

Pay with cash and don’t use WiFi

The stay was what we expected; a quiet, no frills weekend away from our busy life. However, when we returned home, we found that at exactly the same time we checked in to this very secluded cabin park, 1700 was stolen from our bank account. Further, the card we used to secure the cabin and pay for our stay is a card that is so rarely used, tracking it was simple. I am dissapinted that this is how we will remember our stay.

Amazing stay as always. The condo is so beautiful and is right on the water, We had our granddaughter with us this time and she loved it. Her parents did not want to leave. Jim is always pleasant and has everything ready when we arrive. We will return and highly recommend this resort.
