My favorite escape for 40 years now.
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 02/06/09
It's so peaceful. Every room overlooks the water. You can step out onto the balcony and breath - not just look out a window. Feels like you're a million miles away from any stresses. Beautiful woodwork restaurant, also overlooks the water. Animals abundant. Actually had a raccoon eat a cheeto on our balcony rail! Love to hear the ...

Returning Trip
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/13/08
This was our 2nd trip back to this resort. We decided this year to visit the Trigg Co. Ham Festival in Cadiz Ky. It was awesome! We began our adventure early that Sat. morning by starting out from Paris, Tn & going directly for the day to the ham festival where we spent all our time until about 4pm. It was a beautiful day to take in all Cadiz ...

It was great!!!!!!!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/23/08
Overall this is a great place. We have been going here for the past 10 years for family reunions. A great place for a vacation
Lake Barkley State Resort was exactly what I was expecting. I had previously read about the resort online and had actually heard about it through a friend. My husband and I were looking for a quick, but reasonable get away place for Valentines Day. The Lake Barkley Sweetheart's Dance was just the ticket for us! You can choose to stay one or ...

First Eagle Trip
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/28/08
We had a wonderful Eagle Watch weekend at Barkley, the lodge is just grand and I would highly recommend it to anyone staying in the area. We had the best trip ever and this was in January, do take warm clothes for this month but it was romantic and plenty to do and see.

A True Ky. Gem
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/21/08
Recently, me and my girlfriend stayed at the resort, and as true state parkers at heart, were overwhelmed by the value received at such a moderate price. The rooms are exquisite, the restaurant is to be commended on supper & breakfast and the entire resort is a true Ky. gem for couples or families. Words do not completely describe how nice this place truly is and we will, every chance we get, return.

Another successful R&R
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/24/07
It is a great place to just hang out and take it easy. This was our second trip and plan to continue to make it an annual one. The new renovation is terrific, beds are now very comfortable, new linens very attractive. My friend and I had a great time relaxing and enjoying the view even though it rained most of the time. My complaints are few. ...

Needs handicap accessability to the lake.
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/15/07
Lake Barkley is beauitful. It has many activities. What I found disappointing was the access to the lake for those of us who are handicapped. The place has many steps. Lots of walking to get to one place and another. The rooms are nice as is the food. Every one is very pleasant and accommodating. Plan to stay at least 2 days if not more to get to know the place. It really is lovely.
