Had to get sheets to cover all the couches etc because they were so disgusting. When we left we did leave our trash and the fridge full of food cuz we were done with them and the owner doesn't care and basically said it is our problem ! Our nephews had black feet from walking in their cabin. The owner said we were rude and the only person any of us were rude to was the owner cuz she is so rude. There are bad reviews from 7 years ago. The staff and marina were great except for the owner and the staff is afraid of her (actually what they told me ) she blames them for everything even though they put no money in the "resort" RUN away from This place!! Run run run!!!

Our stay was horrible.

Much of the staff we spoke with was lovely but the Owner was extremely rude and again, not apologetic at all. Do not recommend. They need to improve and do better in the future. Marina and pool were very nice but the cabin conditions do not meet health standards at all.

The staff at the fuel dock takes great care of the boat and I can go to the ships store for any parts. They have the largest boat life around at 70 ton so big houseboats and yachts are not a problem. It is probably the most expensive marina around but the amenities make it worth it. They also have 3 swimming pools and condo rentals as well as boat rentals. AND a wedding/meetings venue on site.

The room is spacious, the beds are comfortable and the sunset/sunrise views from my 4th floor balcony were amazing Food: We enjoyed lunch and dinner at the lodge. The staff were super friendly and attentive. The food was much better than expected. The bar cocktails were also much cheaper than anticipated and were delicious Group favs: Southwest egg rolls and the Rockslide brownie with the expresso icecream. Outdoor fun: we had a chance to walk the Raptor trial, visit the marina and public swim areas. Great spot for family, friends or a work retreat. The staff are friendly and the space is welcoming. The grounds are very well cared for and is evident as you'll see them cleaning and tending to upkeep throughout the day.

Mid-point of the lake, restaurants/marina/conscience close. I would rather give a 2.5 star rating, however I'm optimistic and rounded up. Pros: location, friendly staff, kids liked the play and games area, plenty of space, comfortable beds. Cons: broken light fixtures/exposed wire, mildewed shower and curtain, mildewed-smelling towels, ants in kitchen and bathroom, melted tv due to its location above fireplace, dead bugs in light fixtures, grimy fans, ripped carpet, several burned out light bulbs. With some regularly scheduled maintenance and cleaning schedule, these issues could be resolved. However we won't be staying there again.

No pool or pool chairs to lounge in . It is currently 85 degrees bright sunshine. On site dining is a joke. Same menu for lunch and dinner.

I have fond memories of coming here in the summer with my extended family when I was growing up, so…read moreI may be better able to overlook some of this place's shortcomings with my rose-colored glasses. Still, I enjoyed my recent stay here and plan to return. Barkley Lodge is arguably the grandest in the state park system. Perched high above the lake with a glistening blue pool, each room faces the lake and has a view of the sunset. Speaking of rooms, they are currently renovating the east wing, but our west wing room looked refreshed. Renovations might still be a bit of a work in progress, as it looked like there was a space in the dresser for a mini fridge (but no fridge), and the updated counter in the bathroom was supported by a bare board with some visible screws. Housekeeping could use some improvements, as the toilet wasn't thoroughly cleaned when we arrived, and when I walked barefoot to the bed after my shower, I collected some animal hair on the bottoms of my feet. We also noticed that a couple of lightbulbs had burned out and not been replaced. The meals in the lodge were disappointing. I remember delicious buffets and a carving station while Mae Perdue played the organ and servers scurried around in crisp uniforms. Their attire is more casual now, with many in Barkley t-shirts or polos, and the buffet seemed sad. We skipped the buffet the first night in favor of a local restaurant after we walked through and were unimpressed with what was being served, and we felt underwhelmed (and a bit ripped off) when we got breakfast there the following morning. I asked my parents if the food in the lodge had been "meh" when we used to go there, and they both said that we always used to get the buffet and that it had been very good. There used to be a small coffee shop in the downstairs of the lodge, but it has been turned into the game room, and the old game room is now a room with information on local wildlife. What hasn't changed is the plethora of outdoor activities, the abundant wildlife, and the family-friendly activities all throughout the day. My husband and I were actually disappointed when we realized we had missed one of the educational sessions on local wildlife during our stay. Despite its shortcomings, I have a love for this place that runs deep. I hope that renovations mean that they are improving all around, as I would love to see Barkley recapturing the glory of days gone by.
