Lake Barkley is a treasure. Visited often when I was a child, and again as a MSU student. I’m thrilled to hear of the lodge updates that are pending. It’s rustic and reliable and just what we needed to get away for a few days.

At first I wasn’t impressed with the cabin but once we “made it our own” it was great! You should take a candle to take care of unpleasant smell, it works. There were a lot of deer in the area, be careful. The outdoor pool was great, it overlooked the lake. Get there early to get an umbrella. Apparently, you can go early, stake out your territory, umbrella and all, put towels on the chairs you want and leave for a few hours and come back whenever you want to.Despite that, It was fun and everyone was friendly, staff was great. Tip heavily. These kids are great!

No Indoor Pool per Hotels.com

Very clean even though they are working there way through updating. However, Hotels.com indicates property had an indoor pool which is one of the reasons we picked resort but it only had outdoor pools which where closed because it was winter.

Actual room was not as pictured. Room was not recently cleaned. Has to sweep floor and felt dust on floor after. Dead spiders, dirty balcony. Had to ask for additional chair for balcony. Asked for pet friendly unit we were put downstairs not near and grassy areas. The lodge was not ready for spring/holiday guests. Property needs leaves/debris landscape cleanup. Will probably not return.

For a state park the rooms were better than expected. Mattresses and beds had been updated, restroom was well equipped and clean, and patio had two chairs and a table. All rooms have a lake view which is also nice. One key feature we loved is you can get from either side of rooms to the game room which leads up to the restaurant all while under cover in case it rains which it did our first night there. Food off the menu was excellent but only had that option one day. Buffet was good and varied daily which made it challenging if you didn’t like anything in it as not much else around to eat during the off season. Patios and balconies were all very clean and nice to sit and relax to enjoy the views, visit with family, etc. we will definitely go back for a longer stay to enjoy some water activities.

They should advise us in the description that the property is currently undergoing parking lot construction and I have to say, as WiFi is spotty in the countryside, not having reliable WiFi in the facility and not being able to use their phone system was a real problem.

Family Trip in the Cottage

The service at the lodge was excellent and the cottage was mostly fine; just old. Very outdated and rather expensive for what it was. Seemed to have some mold issues are the lights in the bedrooms, holes in the walls in the bathrooms, and the small was gross. We wouldn't stay again.
