Spent three nights recently at Kenlake Lodge, a place I hadn’t visited in more than 15 years. I found it had not changed much during that time. As one would imagine, the biggest draw here is its location, right on Kentucky Lake & surrounded by rolling green hills. I can’t comment on the marina or any other feature of the resort, but I would guess this hotel is perfect for anyone wanting to take advantage of the boating/fishing activities. My visit was more for relaxing & recharging, so I was mainly interested in the actual accommodations. I had a standard room with 2 double beds. There is a mirrored dresser with tv, and a small round table with chair and floor lamp in the corner. The double window gives onto the parking lot, but the trees make for a pleasant view. A coffee set-up is on the table. No mini-fridge or microwave, which was not an issue for me. The nightstand between the beds has a lamp & multiple AC & usb outlets. There’s also a closet immediately upon entry. Now to the bathroom: this was one of the areas I found the most inconvenient & disappointing.Standard tub/shower combo with wall dispenser of hair products & body wash. Pedestal sink, instead of a vanity—meaning no place for storage. Barely enough room for electric toothbrush. Behind the toilet is a narrow shelf, maybe 6”x24”. This COULD serve for storage if there wasn’t a hairdryer inconveniently, permanently attached to the mirror above, and hanging down low enough to make a third of the shelf unusable. When staying more than one night, it’s nice to be able to unpack toiletries, etc., but it was just not possible in this bathroom. The other annoying feature of the room was the lack of reliable wifi. Streaming on my tablet was impossible due to the weak signal. Worse than that was the inability to get cell service. I was unable to make or receive calls unless I went outside, where I usually encountered several other guests conducting their own phone calls. This also meant that using my phone for internet in the room was a no-go. Breakfast was included in my rate and was quite good. The breakfast room is down a long flight of stairs & is utterly devoid of charm or atmosphere. But that’s less important than the food: choices of pancakes, waffle or “traditional.” The latter choice consisted of eggs, sausage, bacon, home fries, and biscuit. Servers are friendly, efficient & go out of their way to please. One final observation that was both surprising & disappointing: this property has no recycling system. They simply do not recycle. I would have thought a state park, ostensibly created for/dedicated to preserving nature & the environment would be making an effort to do at least as much as most of us do at home. It seems oddly incongruous. Kenlake is almost the only game in town & for that reason will probably survive without having to do much in the way of upgrades. But visitors to the area might also want to consider Lake Barkley State Resort Park, about 14 miles awa
