Cozy and nice stay

I booked this reservation for family who was coming to help me and visit in the local area. It was close and convenient to my location. The room was clean and tidy. There is some squirrel themed décor in the room to match the theming and name of the lodgings which I thought was cute and appropriate. The host communicated well and provided some complimentary snacks which was a nice touch. Check-in process was easy which I liked. The host actually let us check-in early too which was swell so we could let some drinks chill in the mini fridge while away doing activities. The only complaint of the person I booked the accommodation for had was that the bathroom was cramped. It was doable at his height, but it wasn't comfortable. As such, I would say if you are quite tall (6 ft or more) or plus sized, you might encounter similar issues in the bathroom. I am 5'7" and I fit fine into the space. However, I did not stay here myself since I live local to the area as I said, I only helped him book the location since I lack a guest room. Overall, I'd say this is a nice place to book if you want to be close to Kentucky lake. The location is in a great spot.

Great place to stay!

Me and my boyfriend went to turkey bay off road park and stayed here for the night. It was great for just the 2 of us. It was affordable, clean and comfy. The host was very nice and let us adjust our dates after out initial reservations.

Just as expected.

Look at the pictures and you will see what your getting. It is small but it was perfect for me and my girlfriend. We rode at turkey bay during the day and came back to sleep and eat at a few local restaurants. 10/10 would stay again

Visiting LBL

It was just my dog and I for two nights and it was perfect. 1 bed and a small bath, but the shower was great. Clean towels, hand towels, and wash cloths. There's a microwave and a small fridge that's actually mid sized. Roku TV, fast internet, and best of all was the host. He happened to be next door when I arrived (check in was a breeze and all on line, so when you get there you put in the code and zing, you're in) and was very friendly. Since I was exploring most of the time, it was an awesome place to rest up.

Just what we needed.

This was as described and worked for what we needed. It is small and bathroom is a little cramped. Overall it worked for us. The host was very responsive and answered my questions right away.
