Barren River Lake State Resort Park

The view of the sunset ovwr the river was amazing! The staff was very courteous.

I love this place, and I cannot wait to return!

Perfect little fall getaway. I wanted nature, a beautiful view from my accommodations & quiet time & I got all 3. The restaurant & staff were exceptional. I didn't like not having a refrigerator or microwave in the room & the water pressure in the shower was seriously lacking. It was a challenge to get clean.

It was spacious, had a master bath, and was quiet The beach area wasn’t open, and there were spiderwebs on the back porch

Beautiful setting. Very poor water pressure. Very dark room. Only 1 light fixture.

Shower curtain was a bit moldy also smelled moldy. May just need a bit more cleaning.

The park and lake are beautiful, but the rooms in the lodge are terrible. Lights didn't work, commode was loose, the carpet was a hundred years old, the back door to the patio had a hole in it. The TV tube was going out and it was unwatchable. It appeared that they were in the process of updating the lodge. All I can say is they had better. No one wants to spend the night under those conditions.

Our room balcony was taken over by gnats. The ironing board was lacking a pad. The grounds were well landscaped and clean. The dining hall was beautiful. The food was very good and the portions were plentiful.

Lodge Rooms are outdated! Needs new furniture, paint, doors, curtains, and mini blinds! Refrigerators, Microwaves, and Big Screen Tv's on a wall mount need to be included in each lodge room because there are days the lodge restaurant is not open to serve food! The outside patio of my lodge room was dirty and entire place needs to be pressure washed! The outdoor pool is very nice, and the grounds was clean and mowed!! Customer Service is excellent and very accomodating at the front desk!

Just wish the beach was open in the pub. Other than that, it was great.

An excellent service from the people in the restaurant. Can only recommend other to try out this place. Kr Mikkel

Pool should be open later than 7 pm in summer.

Loved the location. Staff was excellent. The rooms air conditioner leaked into my luggage. I filled up 3 ice buckets from it before checking out after finding it that same day. It ruined the trip and caused us to check out early. All the amenities were closed. Aside from the pool that was closed the first 2 days but opened for 2 days as well. The bathroom tub leaked. The toilets flush quickly but fill up at a snails pace, making sharing the only bathroom uncomfortable at best. The only things to do required you to spend money when you had already spent that money to stay at the resort that was supposed to have the fun.

Rooms are just outdated. Staff is amazing!

The rooms were very nice. Very comfortable beds and the balcony was really nice. The pool was wonderful. Lots of room to sit and play games or just relax. We wish we could have enjoyed the restaurant but we stayed on Monday and Tuesday and it was closed. Also, great hiking as we hiked both trails. Excited to see how things look once the beach and marina is restored from the floods. No negatives about our stay.

Karen in the Lodge dining was EXCELLENT!!! Food was very good. All the folks we encountered who worked at Barren were delightful. The bar was not open- due to lack of help. Our room was clean, a bit musty & needs an update. But, we understand it on the calendar.

Seeing all the deer and nature was awesome. The place was beautiful, clean and well maintained. So peaceful and quiet. I would stay here again for sure.

This was a great park. Well maintained, safe and convenient. Will definitely be back.
