Hummingbird Festival weekend.

This was a weekend trip to the hummingbird festival at Land Between the Lakes. The room was clean, the grounds were nice and quiet. We did not eat dinner at the lodge but the breakfast was very good. Close to fishing areas, LBL facilities, and other restaurants.

Location was great for distance to Land between the Lakes main road. Would have been nice to have a microwave but everything else was great. Arrived early & the clerk went ahead & checked me in so I could rest up & get out of the heat. Looking forward to going back

It's on one of Kentuckys biggest lakes shared with Tennessee It's cabins are in a quiet area close to the lake edge. Our cabin was nestled amongst trees. Maintenance was a little outdated. Gutters has not been cleared of leaf or tree limb debris. Wooden planks have raised due to tree limb issues. Could cause slips trips and falls. A black mold/detritis on the drainpipe area not removed. Overall it's a state park. Thoroughly enjoyed my weekend

Dated Resort Park that still offers value

The lake resort park is a more dated version of Lake Barkley's accomodations. We stayed in a cottage that,was the perfect size forbus as a couple celbrating our anniversary. The biggest issues were with our shower. The tub (and the bathroom sink) didn't drain well. Initially, there was a shower curtain hung that was too short and let water all over the floor. Because they hung a single panel curtain, and the shower is very narrow, you couldn't have the exhaust fan running or the curtain would blow onto you while you washed. The faucet sprayed water all over even while the shower head was on. Because of this wasted water, the hot water ran out quickly. After we informed the front desk, they did replace our shower curtain with a longer one (although it was still single panel), and they fix the sink drain and slightly improved the tub drain. On the plus side, the shower head was great! The cottage had a nice kitchen, dining table, and couch. The TV mounting and location in both the living room and bedroom could have been better, but it was sufficient. The bed was comfortable. The best thing about Kenlake is the location. There is easy acces to most things in the area. Staff were pleasant enough... although the restaurant staff got easily overwhelmed during the Saturday morning breakfast rush. Hopefully this resort park will get an upgrade now that Lake Barkley Resort Park is about down with their renovation.
