Room was clean and comfortable. I really liked the bed too! Bathroom was a little cool since the heat comes from a unit under the window on the other end of the unit but leaving the door open fixed that. Breakfast was good and very reasonable! Staff was very friendly too. Room had no refrigerator or microwave.

We love the state park and being near the lake. It's a great place for family. We had never stayed in one of the cabins and it seemed secure. However, it was a little bit disconcerting that the lock was missing on bedroom window of cabin. It's also not the best facility for handicap accessibility. The step outside our cabin was an immediate big drop for even a non disabled person. There was no safe parking area outside of the cabin and the parking from dining room was very far away. Since my husband has physical limitations we probably won't stay at this facility a second time.

I'm not a pork eater and didn't want chicken tenders for breakfast options. Other breakfast meats should be considered. Outside of that everything else was outstanding. Will definitely return.

We loved our visit and will absolutely be going back. This is an awesome place and very peaceful!! The cabin has a few issues but nothing too awful, bedding looked like it was late 80's and a few trim pieces were loose. Overall it's not a Drury yet much better in other ways!

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.

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!!!
