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.

Customer Service Was Great.

The customer service was excellent. The wi fi was slow and I was unable to work. I assumed it was standard. The next morning I overheard that it needed to be rebooted. So it may work better that what I encountered. Food was great. We were there on one of the coldest days of the year, the water in the shower would not get hot. Not even warm. But I believe this would be a wonderful place for a vacation trip, just not great for the type of work that I needed to accomplish.

My heart is here at this lodge however they really need to do some work. Property is falling apart. This need a lot of TLC. How they allow no drainage from the roof tops is mind blowing and is resulting in holes everywhere, mold water damages so bad it’s can be unsafe. Please management don’t let this place fall into the wrong hands. If I could I’d buy this property immediately if I had a team willing to take on the massive challenge.
