I am so very upset at how we were treated this weekend at Pennyrile Forrest State Park. I dont know how to begin. My wife and I made reservations in advance to stay at the camp ground with our two little girls. We were never informed that the beach was closed. This was one of the main reasons we wanted... More

I stayed in a cabin on the lake with 5 family members, a trip we try to make annually. The cabin had a new couch, new lamps, and I would guess new beds. They aren't stylish but very comfy, which is enough for me. We caught the most fish that we ever had... bluegill, crappie, bass, but the water is... More

Every year for the past 5 years we have come to the Pennyrile Forest State Resort for our family Easter dinner. There is an expected wait for a table because it is so busy. But, there are things to do while you wait. They have a game room, and plenty of seating outside overlooking the lake, and they also have... More

The dogwood are blooming! We spent a quiet, restful night at the lodge. Our room was clean and the water in the shower was hot. We enjoyed walking on the paths. The continental breakfast was good. They had some of the best Biscuits and gravy I have had on our trip. I enjoyed sitting on our balcony just listening to... More

I had stayed here before on business and wanted to return with my wife. She was very happy to stay here. The lodge and cabins are set around a lake with trails and a golf course, tennis court, and bb court. The lodge cafe has good food and a wonderful view while dining. It's the kind of place that makes... More

I went to the park for the weekend and had a great time. Please keep in mind this is a state park-so there is a level of "roughing it" involved. The park itself is beautiful with a nice swimming area and a place to rent canoes. We had a great time staying in the lodge and I loved reading on... More

We were looking for a quiet place to stay on our way north on US41 (Pennyrile Parkway). Well we found it! This is a typical Kentucky State Park lodge. Nice clean rooms, friendly staff, views of the lake, large pool, home cooked dining. Of course, there is no action. For that, stop in Nashville with the crowds.
