We have been going to Ky Dam Village for years and just love the peaceful resort. This trip was especially nice because the staff at the lodge - especially at the front desk ladies - were so helpful and sweet. Also - there was a problem with the air conditioner in our cabin when we arrived and the staff got right on it and took care of us. We had another wonderful Labor Day vacation!

I was a little underwhelmed with the thought of spending time in a state park resort...with our state putting employees on unpaid furloughs, my first preconceived notions included: run down, shabby, ill-managed, etc.

When I called to make reservations, I was greeted by an amazingly professional and helpful clerk, who cheerfully took great care of me....when I called the week of my business event to amend my reservation, however...it took me several (read: at least 10) calls to get through. Once I did, my reservation was changed without a problem. I equated this problem to calling during a rush time...maybe folks were checking out and trying to check in at the same time...?

My mom and I arrived to my conference mid-morning and to our surprise, the clerk was happy to check us in, two hours early! Sweet!

When we entered our room, I was actually shocked...the room was modern, very clean and actually rather adorable. I was also pleasantly surprised with the free wifi! Woohoo!

Throughout the room were black and white vintage prints of the lake and guests from years past...a really nice touch and a great departure from generic watercolor flowers you mostly see in hotel rooms nowadays.

The bathroom was clean and well kept, but one minor complaint...the housekeeping staff had not cleaned out the ice bucket from the previous guest...contained inside was standing water and some bugs. Blargh. Also, they left no plastic liner, so when I needed some ice that evening, I took our plastic cups instead.

Overall, I was pleasantly surprised, and combined with the amazing snacks and the evening meal the in-house chef had prepared for us, I would DEFINITELY return for a leisure visit with my family!

Great views of Kentucky Lake. It's close proximity to fishing and hiking are perfect for outdoor activities.

We spent 2 nights and 3 days at KDV post Memorial Day weekend (NOT crowded at all!). Our lake-view rooms were quiet, clean, comfortable and spacious. Bed linens were clean-smelling and fresh, we slept great! Bathrooms were clean and towels were fluffy, clean and the supply was ample.

Lodge restaurant: we had dinner once and breakfast twice, of the two, breakfast had the best variety of food and offered the best value (breakfast buffet was great!).

Swimming pool was OK but somewhat small. Park grounds and trails were OK.
