Buckhorn lake
Other guest were smoking and drinking alcohol and cussing in the pool area around our grandkids. They were also smoking in the room next to us on the attached balcony. The room was to hot or to cold with high humidity in the room. The air vents were full of dust. There was no kitchen open for 3 days to get food. No one ever cleaned the room. The buffet they had one day was very over cooked with no flavor and very expensive. The breakfast was the same every day and the coffee was empty. People stomping above us all night. 3 years ago it was much better. It's 80 miles around trip to get a meal no fridge or microwave to us. People knocked on our door in the middle of the night and was giggling the door handle. It was very scary. The pet was 30 dollars extra and Saturday thru Wednesday was $500. It is a beautiful place if you don't mind the inconveniences of not having away to prepare food or driving a long way to get a meal.

We are very sorry you stay was not as expected and the inconveniences you experienced. If we had be made aware of the cussing i would have asked our park ranger to address it. If you come back to stay again please see management and we will work to make sure your stay is the best it can possibly be.

Cozy camp feel
The people were friendly and welcoming! We stayed for the weekend. Overall, it was a good stay. We were looking forward to a view of a lake only to find out there was no lake per se. The site is historic and it has a warm and cozy camping feeling. Continental breakfast is served. I wish the room came with a refrigerator and microwave. Besides that it is a great place to get away.

What beautiful views! Kentucky at its' finest everywhere you look--from your room, the lodge great room, or the dining room. It really is breath taking. The room was very, very clean. We like softer mattresses, and these were perfect. Slept like babies. The dining room is operated by the nicest lady, and her food is wonderful. I would like to see them put a light out by the turn off for the lodge. It is a little hard to locate after dark. Overall, had a great stay, and am really looking forward to staying here again.

The balcony was nice to be able to sit out and enjoy the view! The property and rooms were very dated and didn’t look like the pictures, they were very short staffed so finding someone to answer questions was an issue, the dining room was short staffed so only offered buffet and only 2 people working so refills took a long time as did paying and being seated, food overall though wasn’t to bad! WiFi sucked horribly so if you require service for emails and such you can forget that I couldn’t get a text call or email to go thru the entire stay. Overall though it was clean just dingy and dated! Very small room and bathroom there was no where to put anything when getting ready. No mini fridge or microwave! Tv is very small and only had 36 channels and half of them didn’t even come in clear so that was a bummer!
