Good and fresh made breakfast. Beautiful lake view from the restaurant. Clean room, but a little cramped in size, due to the age of the lodge.

Kenlake resort was a great option for our family. The rooms are a little outdated but the midcentury style is neat and the low price allowed us to go on vacation for longer. The rooms were clean, and the staff were helpful and friendly. We really loved that the breakfast was included, made to order and far superior to a holiday inn breakfast. We did not realize there were no microwaves or mini fridges in the rooms though, which was disappointing because it made it harder to feed our one year old (nowhere to store whole milk). Also, while the rooms were clean, I did notice that the hardware in the bathroom needed resealed and was getting a little grimy. Overall I would recommend Kenlake for a cheap but nice vacation resort near land between the lakes.

Room was clean and comfortable. I really liked the bed too! Bathroom was a little cool since the heat comes from a unit under the window on the other end of the unit but leaving the door open fixed that. Breakfast was good and very reasonable! Staff was very friendly too. Room had no refrigerator or microwave.

We love the state park and being near the lake. It's a great place for family. We had never stayed in one of the cabins and it seemed secure. However, it was a little bit disconcerting that the lock was missing on bedroom window of cabin. It's also not the best facility for handicap accessibility. The step outside our cabin was an immediate big drop for even a non disabled person. There was no safe parking area outside of the cabin and the parking from dining room was very far away. Since my husband has physical limitations we probably won't stay at this facility a second time.

I'm not a pork eater and didn't want chicken tenders for breakfast options. Other breakfast meats should be considered. Outside of that everything else was outstanding. Will definitely return.

We loved our visit and will absolutely be going back. This is an awesome place and very peaceful!! The cabin has a few issues but nothing too awful, bedding looked like it was late 80's and a few trim pieces were loose. Overall it's not a Drury yet much better in other ways!
