Spent one night while traveling from North Carolina to Missouri. Room was very clean and comfortable. Decor was a little dated. Had breakfast in the restaurant. Food was very good and some of the best prices we have seen recently. Service was over the top.
2.5
It was a nice park. Hotel wasn't anything special. Comfortable bed, dated rooms. You hear everything in the connecting rooms. No fridg or microwave even though the cabinets were made for them. Pool still under construction. The park staff was nice enough to mow the grass right outside everyones room at 7:55 In the morning. Brilliant. That should say somthing about the way the property is managed.
2.5
Overall a great stay. Some of the facilities need to be updated/repaired. The staff is excellent. The food is wonderful, good prices & great service.

Beautiful view of lake from balcony. Easy check in. Only disappointment was pool under construction.

It's a beautiful resort. It's a shame that more care and attention to the fantastic facility is not taken. Old accumulated Leaves in the breezeways, broken parking lot lights, the pool was down (and this was June!) for remodeling. . . So much more could be done with this place. The staff was very kind upon arrival and throughout - but when we couldn't get in our room because the key wouldn't work (second time) the front desk had a sign which said "be right back" - We waited and waited and several staff passed us - finally we walked to the dining entrance (where they could see us) and the young lady was talking with the hostess, apparently getting dinner. That's fine! Everyone needs to eat! But it was late and we had already walked up to our room, then waited for another ten minutes - no apology - very unprofessional.

Well to start off our first room reeked of musty smell.. Went back to the service desk and explained the situation she gave us another room. It to had a slight musty smell, but not nearly as bad as first.. the door was sticking not sure I would’ve been able to get the door open by myself . But the room was clean it was dated, but it was clean, Bed and linens were sufficient, Was a little disappointed the pool was not open. Looks like it’s going to be a longtime, Before it will be done lol. And not of their-own fault the lake/beach was not available .. Which was one of the reasons I picked the place! Place can use some updating between musty smells and doors not opening properly, and blinds being in poor condition.. it gave it a look of unkept. The railings outside are in dire need of help. Just needs some updating… Heavy maintenance . Also, I’d like to mention there is no small refrigerator in there which would be nice for guest as they Are staying for a day or more!
And let’s remember there’s no free breakfast like most hotels have in the morning although there is a restaurant it’s not free .. i’m trying to be positive, but the place missed the mark it lacked.. probably would not stay there again bottom line .. Maybe I would try a cottage maybe not!

Loved the facility & staff! So sad that the pool was closed for maintenance. That was one of the reasons for going.

This place was fantastically clean. I’m usually very picky about cleanliness and I can’t think of a single thing I wasn’t impressed with. It’s not fancy (no big screen TVs, no mini fridge or microwaves in the lodge rooms, no dining options aside from the buffet), but with a little planning and willingness to pack some snacks this is a great budget friendly option for a weekend getaway. Our room had its own private balcony overlooking the sunset side of the lake and it was gorgeous every night!

We visited frim out of state for the first time. We stayed in the lodge. You can tell they are older buildings but kept very clean. Our room was very roomy and comfortable. It would be nice to have a little mini fridge to keep cold drinks or left overs from the restaurant but otherwise it was a good stay.
5.0
Stayed 1 night. Staff at check in was super friendly and even let us switch our room when we discovered ours involved stairs. Staff at check out was equally nice, although we did have to wait a bit as they were very busy. We ate dinner at the restaurant and although the menu was small the food was great. Service was good there as well, they let us move to a table by the window. Free breakfast had plenty to choose from, and once again customer service went above and beyond because they made plain oatmeal and decaf coffee special for me due to my dietary restrictions. State Park had very nice beach and marina, would love to visit during the summer. Views from the restaurant and our hotel room were beautiful, loved the balcony. On the down side we were afraid to sit on the chairs because they were old, kind of rusty metal and we thought they may break with our weight. Bathroom ceiling was cracked/peeling. Lamps and walls could have used a cleaning. Air/Heat unit was noisy at times. No fridge/microwave. But overall it was a very nice experience and great value for the price. Highly recommend.

Needed a place to stay when buying a new truck from a local place. Being from CT and not knowing the area, we found this place was really close to the truck sales place, and very reasonably priced! We were very pleased to see how clean and well kept the rooms and property was. The breakfast was great too. We would have loved to explore the park more if we had more time. If we are ever back in the area, this is definitely the place we will stay at!! Thank you for a great stay making it an acceptional trip!

A family friendly state park. You can play golf, swim in the lake or pool, hike, and ride bikes. The staff is very accommodating to all your needs.

Perfect place to get away for a few days. Nice beach and on site restaurant provides an all inclusive experience.

Make no mistake, this isn't for everyone. It's old with lots of bugs but for some people, the amenities will make up for that. Beautiful area with a balcony looking out over a lake with a pool, golf course, trails and horses. Facility could stand to be updated and needs a refrigerator in the rooms but you can't beat all the extras if you enjoy the outdoors. Bring or buy a citronella candle and enjoy.

I cannot say enough good things about the staff: friendly, welcoming, and incredibly overworked. They did everything possible to make our stay comfortable. We spent some time at the bar and discovered some serious stock shortages. They were out of several popular beers, and no ginger ale. But the live music was enjoyable and again, the staff hustled nonstop. The lodge is showing its age. Water pressure in the bathroom was a trickle, forcing us to brush our teeth in the tub. The bathroom and balcony doors were out of square and wouldn’t close. Despite some quirks, we truly enjoyed our visit. It’s beautiful, quiet, peaceful and staffed by great folks.

Last weekend of July get away. Check-in was great. WiFi, not so great. Ice machines broken, have to go to front desk for ice, no lunch service except on Sunday, hair dryer didn’t work, room was clean and comfy bed. Nice shower with good pressure, amazing pool. Overall, enjoyed

At first glance, this park is outstanding, but first impressions are deceiving. Staff was very friendly and helpful, room was clean except for the balcony. The view of the lake is excellent, but.......we encountered loud people outside our door until way past 11pm, the motion sensor light in the bath turned itself off when my wife was taking a shower, the cook for the dinner meal quit before the meal, shutting down the meal and restaurant,..but maybe you will get lucky if you stay

The villa was beautiful, quiet, and clean. The property seems very well maintained. The breakfast that was included was not nearly as good as the other two Kentucky state resort parks we've stayed at, but at least it did have some hot breakfast.
2.5
The room was clean but the bathroom, dressing area and foyer floor was dirty. In fact when we opened the door there was a dead bug laying inside the entrance. Toilets, sink and tub were all clean. It may have just been forgotten.

Absolutely love Barren River lodge. Everyone is friendly, clean rooms, good food and beautiful park.

Booked a 2 night stay/fishing adventure. Had drinks at the lounge the first night and our bartender was top notch. He kept an eye out and was right there ready to refill as needed. Had the breakfast buffet before leaving the next morning and it was good.

It was outdated, the staff was helpful but we got no towels or wash cloths when we left them where we supposed to and had to go to the office and get some late that night

We stayed at the lodge and although it’s old it was comfortable. The area has a golf course right there and some really nice walking and bike paths. The restaurant on site has something for everyone. We’ll definitely be going back.
