Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
We loved our visit and will absolutely be going back. This is an awesome place and very peaceful!! The cabin has a few issues but nothing too awful, bedding looked like it was late 80's and a few trim pieces were loose. Overall it's not a Drury yet much better in other ways!

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
Room was clean and comfortable. I really liked the bed too! Bathroom was a little cool since the heat comes from a unit under the window on the other end of the unit but leaving the door open fixed that. Breakfast was good and very reasonable! Staff was very friendly too. Room had no refrigerator or microwave.
Kenlake resort was a great option for our family. The rooms are a little outdated but the midcentury style is neat and the low price allowed us to go on vacation for longer. The rooms were clean, and the staff were helpful and friendly. We really loved that the breakfast was included, made to order and far superior to a holiday inn breakfast. We did not realize there were no microwaves or mini fridges in the rooms though, which was disappointing because it made it harder to feed our one year old (nowhere to store whole milk). Also, while the rooms were clean, I did notice that the hardware in the bathroom needed resealed and was getting a little grimy. Overall I would recommend Kenlake for a cheap but nice vacation resort near land between the lakes.
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!
Wonderful spot close to all the ammenities and reeort bar and grill as well as the dining room was a great surprise. We rented a cottage and it was perfect so we booked again for our return trip.
We were at the resort for a Jeep Jamboree and could not have been happier with both the accommodations and location. The cottage was well appointed and comfortable. The staff at the resort were extremely pleasant and accommodating.
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.
This was one of our best trips EVER! The staff throughout the entire park were so nice and friendly, the restaurant was great, and everything was super clean. The rooms are a little small, but we had enough room for the weekend. We WILL be back.
