Beautiful Lake View

I stayed in a double room with a fantastic view of the lake. The room was updated and had a lovely balcony, which allowed me to enjoy the scenery. Although it didn't have a microwave or fridge, I had planned ahead and brought an ice cooler. It was a great experience overall!

Relaxing Pool Area

The indoor and outdoor pools were spotless and provided a wonderful place to relax. It was a great way to wind down after a day of exploring the park. The clean environment made my swim enjoyable, and I appreciated the lack of crowds during my visit.

Great Recreational Activities

There were tons of recreational activities to do while visiting. From hiking trails to boat rentals, it was a great way to stay active and enjoy the beautiful outdoors. The golf course was especially well-kept, making my round of golf a good experience.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Lake Barkley Lodge. The property has a serene atmosphere, especially after the summer crowds have left, making it a perfect spot for a relaxing getaway. The lake views from the rooms are stunning, and the cleanliness was commendable. However, the rustic decor may feel a bit dated for some, and the amenities are simple. Overall, it offers great value for money, especially during the fall season.

Overall, it's a great value for a getaway with lovely amenities and friendly staff.

We enjoyed all the amenities like the indoor heated pool and beautiful hiking trails. The great lake view from our balcony was a definite highlight.
