Pennyrile Forest State Resort Park

The views of the lake and natural surrounds were amazingly beautiful. I spend a lot of time sitting on my balcony enjoying the view of the lake which is what really earned the 5 star review. The room did need some more updates although I really appreciated the laminate floors versus carpets. The food at the lodge resteraunt was edible but could not be considered good which was a disappointment.

Quiet but overall nothing. The rooms have no microwaves or refrigerators in them and they have no pop machines or no way to get snacks or anything they have no vending machines they lock the doors after 11:00 so you can't get in the lodge where they say you can use a microwave so you can't get in there to do that so basically all you have is two beds a TV and a bathroom and they will not move you when there is complaints and concerns with your neighbors I'm calling and complaining 5-10 minutes after you get here because they put you in an adjoining room with them and so they will not move you and they don't take taking that as a curiosity so basically nothing and it took me 25 minutes to check in after I was already booked online and I would not recommend staying here for $100 a night when it should be a $60 or $40 motel with no way you got to drive at least by about 10 miles out to go to the nearest store to get anything like drinks anything you better bring your own cooler to keep your stuff cold if you bring stuff but like I said there is no way to oh and as far as if you have dirty clothes you have to go down to the campground because they don't have laundry rooms here at the lodge so no no I would not recommend nobody saying I had a horrible experience

Lovely state park but not winter friendly. I chose this lodge for the warmth of the lovely pics of lobby fireplace and lake view. I think there were only 3 other rooms rented on a Friday night. When I asked about fireplace not burning, employee at check in told me their wood was too wet. But the next morning a different employee had started a fire. The room was basic but very clean and had nice towels. There is a balcony looking over the lake. Rooms require outside walk to lodge. Many nice property amenities for warmer weather. Many things were “out of order.” No coffee out our whole stay. I understand there were few guests to serve but I still paid for my room with expectations. Very limited continental breakfast. We ate in dining room Friday evening and food was very tasty. Service was very friendly at dinner. Again very few guests. (6)
