The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences
Delicious Buffets
The buffet was a highlight of our stay, especially the Friday night offerings, including fried catfish and gumbo. The comfort food truly tasted homemade, with generous portions that kept us satisfied. Worth every penny!

Lovely Balcony View
Our room featured a fantastic balcony that allowed us to relax overlooking the lake. Watching the sunset from there made our stay truly special.

I had a lovely time staying at the lodge. The beauty of Lake Barkley from my room was breathtaking, and I was pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness throughout the property. However, the dining experience left something to be desired, as the buffet selection was quite limited, and the facilities could use some updates to enhance the overall experience. Despite this, the stunning views and comfortable atmosphere made for a relaxing getaway.

My stay at the lodge was quite an experience, with beautiful lake views that added to the overall charm. The rooms were spacious but in need of updates, and while I appreciated the cleanliness of my bathroom, the overall decor felt dated. The restaurant offered a decent buffet, but limited dining days made meal planning tricky. The outdoor areas and facilities could use some serious attention and maintenance, which was disappointing given the potential of the location.

My stay had both ups and downs. The cottage was spacious and clean, but the wasp problem was a major inconvenience that really impacted our experience. The dining options were decent for the lodge, but service during breakfast could use improvement. Overall, while the location and views were lovely, I found the maintenance issues needing attention detracted from the relaxation I was hoping for.

The lodge offers a beautiful retreat with stunning views, perfect for those who enjoy nature and want to explore the great outdoors. Though some aspects need improvement, particularly in cleanliness and maintenance, the dining experience, especially the buffet, is delightful. Overall, it's a lovely getaway, but be prepared for some imperfections.
