I had a wonderful getaway from Nashville at this lodge. It was peaceful and less crowded, offering beautiful views and courteous staff. However, I faced some issues with the restaurant service and room cleanliness, which detracted a bit from the experience. Overall, it was a lovely place to relax, and I wished I could have stayed longer.

We had a pleasant stay surrounded by beautiful nature, but there were a few service hiccups and cleanliness issues that kept it from being perfect. The restaurant staff was a bit slow and had some mix-ups with our order, but the food was good and affordable. While the room was spacious and comfortable, we noticed some cleanliness details that needed attention. It's a lovely property by the lake that could shine even brighter with better staff attention to detail.

I had a great time staying at this resort, especially since it allowed pets, which made it perfect for my family getaway. The cabin we booked was clean and provided a lot of privacy, allowing us to enjoy our stay without feeling on top of each other. However, while the surroundings were stunning, some aspects of our dining experience didn't meet expectations due to slow service. Overall, it was a peaceful retreat and a gem within Kentucky's state parks.

Our stay at KY Dam Village was quite an experience! The resort boasts a lovely outdoor area with beautiful views, and the restaurant had a decent selection of food. However, our initial cottage was not up to par due to a strong smell of smoke, which made it uncomfortable for us, but we appreciated the quick upgrade to a much better room. Overall, it has its charm, but some facilities could use improvement, especially regarding cleanliness.

We began in a cottage that unfortunately had a lingering cigarette smoke smell. After voicing our concerns, we were upgraded to an executive suite, which was spacious and smelled fresh. It had a nice patio with a beautiful view of the lake.

The stay was quite enjoyable with a lovely view of the lake from our room. The cleanliness and comfort were commendable, making it a relaxing getaway. I really appreciated the spacious room setup, but I did miss having a microwave or refrigerator to keep snacks handy. The dining experience offered some good buffet options, but it could use a bit more variety. Overall, it's a solid choice for a peaceful retreat, though a few amenities were lacking.
