Breakfast is not included! Expensive food, and the offering is not great. Military DFAC quality food, but you still pay a buffet price for it. No WiFi in my room, room 419 at all, they said it was a WiFi blind spot, so no solution at all.

This property really brings you into the camping environment. The view is stunning. There is plenty to do for a weekend. Horseback riding, bison prairie, hiking, fishing, planetarium, sight seeing and more. The room and area around the lodges was very musty. It smelled like you were in a moss ridden forest. They folded the toilet paper but didn’t clean the toilet. The back deck was mosquito infested. Like hundreds swarming around. (Unusable - do not open the back door). Air conditioning would not cool the room down until 3am. TV did not work. Best amenities- lakeside view, proximity to activities. Book if that is your goal. Do not book if you’re aiming for any luxury in your room and board.

This was one of the most interesting places we've ever stayed. We loved it. It's like a wooden space station in the wilderness. We were there during the off-season, so it was completely empty, and the outdoor pool wasn't open. However, you can tell it accommodates a large number of people and has been in operation for 70ish years. We hope it doesn't lose its charm when it is renovated. We bought some very vintage-looking mugs from the gift shop. We played pool and ping pong in the game room and took advantage of the access guests of the resort have to the athletic center next door, featuring an indoor pool.

Great potential but needs TLC.

The whole property needs updated. We spent our honeymoon here 43 years ago. Not much has changed! The room was clean but very dark with no refrigerator. The restaurant was the high point. Very good food and service.

Overall a great experience

Stayed 2 nights with my fiancé. When we arrived, we were surprised to see there was no refrigerator or microwave in the room. The beds were extremely comfortable and the house keeping ladies were very nice. Only issue we had was on night two after being out and about all day we came back to the room to find that neither of our cards worked to enter the room. We had to walk all the way back to the front office and the issue was fixed promptly with no hassle. However, we were informed upon arrival that there was an option to use the elevator as there are MANY stairs inside the main building BUT on our way back from the office after getting our room keys replaced we were going to use the elevator because I have severe asthma and couldn’t handle all the steps again, we attempted to go to the elevator just to find there is no buttons and no public access. Yes there is an elevator. But not for the public. It has to be unlocked and turned on by a key. And there is no buttons outside of the doors whatsoever. Maybe they unlock it when a handicap resident checks in, but if that is the case they don’t need to advertise or state that there is an elevator for public use.

Actual room was not as pictured. Room was not recently cleaned. Has to sweep floor and felt dust on floor after. Dead spiders, dirty balcony. Had to ask for additional chair for balcony. Asked for pet friendly unit we were put downstairs not near and grassy areas. The lodge was not ready for spring/holiday guests. Property needs leaves/debris landscape cleanup. Will probably not return.

Lake Getaway

Our experience at Lake Barkley resort State Park was excellent. The food was amazing and the great prices were a nice surprise. The rooms were really nice, the bed was comfortable, The view of the lake was amazing. The only negative was that there was a lot of construction going on and there were not signs telling you where you were and how to get to where you needed to go. When we drove up, it was very difficult to find the door to go in because of all the construction and the lack of instruction with signs. I’m sure that will be better when it’s all finished, however, it could be better now and eliminate a lot of confusion to people who have never been there before. But overall, it was an excellent place to visit and stay and we will definitely come back.

Love the balcony. Everything was comfortable and clean. All the staff was friendly, helpful. But was disappointed in the cable. The UK game (state team) was playing and could not get it on tv. No local channels at all.
