"The room was very clean and well taken care of the staff was friendly and got my reserved room very quickly never enjoyed breakfast got up to late like the idea of leaving the key in the room saves going back to the desk when there is no reason everything I did was all ready paid for so I had no need to go to the desk but wood have liked to had more coffee in the room for wake-up one cup is just not enough and some people don’t like to go down to the lobby in the morning might think about putting more coffee in rooms. For morning wake up my and my lady friend didn’t have enough coffee other than that very nice stay very enjoyable"

You'll find the natural beauty of the area, especially around Patoka Lake, is at its best with spring blooms or autumn foliage.For those interested in fishing, particularly for bass and crappie, the spring spawning season (April-May) is often the most productive. Anglers will appreciate the calmer waters and active fish during these months.Families might prefer late spring or early autumn for a visit. The weather is ideal for enjoying the lake's amenities, such as boating and hiking, without the larger crowds often seen in mid-summer.
