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!!!

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.

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.

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.

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!
