I’ve stayed here many times over the years the price is about mid range, the place is clean, but very dated. It needs alot of TLC, but you can bring your dogs with you.

Beautiful location. Definitely rural and in the forest. Cabins need updating. Lighting needs attention,it's a safety concern in some areas. We stayed here 18 years ago..... Literally nothing has changed inside.

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.

Kenlake is a gem for Kentucky state parks. It’s not luxurious-but a perfect cabin getaway with clean rooms, walkable to lodge and pool. Free breakfast was delicious!

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 Maintenance was a little outdated.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
