I stayed here because of attending a funeral in nearby Benton. But I’ll return because of a caring staff who extended so many courtesies to me that I lost count.

Love KenLake. Breakfast was great and our cabin was clean. I wish they would update the bathroom and get rid of the dated bathtub. install a walk in shower—much safer and who actually takes a “bath” in a rented facility anyway?

So we did not have power starting that night around 8:30pm and it did not come back on until it was time to checkout. We had no AC and it was not a cool night. Other than no power, I can tell it would be a nice place to relax.

This is a nice property that has the feel of getting to stay in a state park. It was quiet and peaceful, almost no cell service so my wife paid attention to me, and it included a free breakfast that was very tasty. Except the county potatoes, something wasn't right about the country potatoes. We would gladly stay here again and if you have kids or grandkids the lack of cell reception could really work out for you.

We checked in and the cottage was a little warm, but it was a hot July day and the A/C was catching up after the overnight. But it started losing it’s lead and the temperature inside went up to 79 degrees, so we had to change cabins in the 90 degree heat and we had to go down to a one bedroom cabin and put our adult children in a lodge room. It all worked out after that. It was July 4th weekend.
