Dated Resort Park that still offers value

The lake resort park is a more dated version of Lake Barkley's accomodations. We stayed in a cottage that,was the perfect size forbus as a couple celbrating our anniversary. The biggest issues were with our shower. The tub (and the bathroom sink) didn't drain well. Initially, there was a shower curtain hung that was too short and let water all over the floor. Because they hung a single panel curtain, and the shower is very narrow, you couldn't have the exhaust fan running or the curtain would blow onto you while you washed. The faucet sprayed water all over even while the shower head was on. Because of this wasted water, the hot water ran out quickly. After we informed the front desk, they did replace our shower curtain with a longer one (although it was still single panel), and they fix the sink drain and slightly improved the tub drain. On the plus side, the shower head was great! The cottage had a nice kitchen, dining table, and couch. The TV mounting and location in both the living room and bedroom could have been better, but it was sufficient. The bed was comfortable. The best thing about Kenlake is the location. There is easy acces to most things in the area. Staff were pleasant enough... although the restaurant staff got easily overwhelmed during the Saturday morning breakfast rush. Hopefully this resort park will get an upgrade now that Lake Barkley Resort Park is about down with their renovation.

Great getaway weekend at LBL!

Our stay was very good. The room was very clean, the bed was comfortable. Everything we needed was pretty much supplied. The service was really good also. The only real issue was the air conditioning unit was very noisy. It woke us up multiple times each night, both nights of our stay. The unit could really use an overhaul.

This was one of our best trips EVER! The staff throughout the entire park were so nice and friendly, the restaurant was great, and everything was super clean. The rooms are a little small, but we had enough room for the weekend. We WILL be back.

Beautiful quiet area near the lake. Spacious cabins with what we needed. Nothing fancy but nice and clean. Mattresses were newer and comfortable. It offers a very nice breakfast cooked to your order. Be sure to put exactly how many in your party to get vouchers. We stay here every year and love it.

It was a beautiful, clean place, with such friendly staff. The cottage I stayed in was quiet and clean. Even when our large group was eating together in the dining room, ordering it all at once, the staff did not become flustered. The grounds were immaculate. I can't wait to visit again next year
