A great place to stay while spending the weekend in the area. About the only things i could complain about were the games in the game room were terribly glitchy or otherwise nonfunctional, leaving the kiddo very disappointed. Also would have been nice to have a frig in the rooms for leftovers from the awesome local restaurants.

Property nice and clean service was good. Food in the restaurant was excellent. The facilities just need some serious maintenance and updating. Was also disappointed in the view from the room. The trees have overgrown to the point you can’t tell you are even lake front.

We had a wonderful stay here. The property was well maintained and quiet. Was within a very reasonable distance of the marina, dining, and lake facilities. The traffic was minimal, and the area was beautiful.

Absolutely recommend!

We were traveling through on our way to Wisconsin, from Florida. Paduca, kentucky is the halfway point. We've always stayed there, until I found this location on hotel's.com it was the best decision, pet friendly, cottages & hotel, dining room and breakfast included.

Get Away

This was an impromptu get away with my sister. Property was clean and staff was welcoming. Beds and pillows were comfortable. View from our window was not good and the windows were pretty dirty. But, there were plenty of other places to get a clear view.

It’s a nice place, just a few small things that were aggravating. The refrigerator in the room makes loud noises which woke us up both nights, the bathroom sink water comes out so hard it sprays everywhere, one of the night stand lamps wasn’t plugged in and I could not find the outlet even after moving the mattress a little. Bright side it is clean, and has what we needed for our short weekend and this is the closest place to the marina.

The only thing we did not like was the bed. We thought we had a queen or king bed. It was a double bed only. Comfortable but we needed more room. Did not sleep well for fear of falling off the bed. The tv remote system and directions for use was a joke. Had to call for assistance and the 2nd room we reserved for my sister didn’t have correct remote in room to operate the tv.
