Lake Barkley is a treasure. Visited often when I was a child, and again as a MSU student. I’m thrilled to hear of the lodge updates that are pending. It’s rustic and reliable and just what we needed to get away for a few days.

At first I wasn’t impressed with the cabin but once we “made it our own” it was great! You should take a candle to take care of unpleasant smell, it works. There were a lot of deer in the area, be careful. The outdoor pool was great, it overlooked the lake. Get there early to get an umbrella. Apparently, you can go early, stake out your territory, umbrella and all, put towels on the chairs you want and leave for a few hours and come back whenever you want to.Despite that, It was fun and everyone was friendly, staff was great. Tip heavily. These kids are great!

We really enjoyed staying at the resort and only wish that we’d been able to take advantage of some of the things on offer - like the pool and ping pong table! Our room in the lodge had a very rustic feel - wood paneled walls and lots of spider webs on the balcony’s railing (seemed to keep the mosquitoes at bay). The bathroom was very clean and bright. The bed was comfortable. The dining room offered a buffet or a menu for the meals we were there for (dinner and then breakfast). We opted for menu items for dinner and then the buffet for breakfast. The prices were amazingly low, and the size of the portions from menu items were amazingly huge. Lots of bacon! An absolute delight for me was to make a coffee in the morning and sit out on the balcony and look at the lake and watch the waterfowl and turtles.

This was one of the most interesting places we've ever stayed. We loved it. It's like a wooden space station in the wilderness. We were there during the off-season, so it was completely empty, and the outdoor pool wasn't open. However, you can tell it accommodates a large number of people and has been in operation for 70ish years. We hope it doesn't lose its charm when it is renovated. We bought some very vintage-looking mugs from the gift shop. We played pool and ping pong in the game room and took advantage of the access guests of the resort have to the athletic center next door, featuring an indoor pool.
