I am having an event tomorrow at the lodge. Everyone is super helpful. They have provided everything I need for a successful program. I am excited to be here. Pennyrile State Park is a lovely spot in Kentucky.

I loved my time at Pennyrile. I only have three complaints. The rooms should have fridges and microwaves, the dining options were limited due to no chicken (I do not eat beef or pork). But the waitress was very apologetic about not having chicken. And I understood. Overall, I had a great time and will be back!!

Peaceful area with great amenities when visiting with family. Did not realize lodge doesn't come with microwave or mini refrigerator definitely would look into cottage next time or bring cooler. The area doesn't have lots of food options so bring your own food is a must unless you're going to eat at lodge restaurant every day. Amazing trip with my sister will be back next year.

Our room was ready early, and was extremely clean. We had a great view of the lake. The property is beautifully maintained. Other than rough weather, it was a great few days away.
