I have always lived near ReelFoot lake and I grew up going there on special occasions. I had never…read morebeen on the boat tours until recently however. I had the opportunity on my day off from work to come visit this park in all of its beauty. My first boat outing was with their seasonal ranger Jewell West, she was very knowledgeable and personable! She was definitely passionate about the eagles, the park, our beautiful state, and the preservation of our state's natural wonders. On our outing we saw nearly 16 eagles, plenty of osprey, and many other native species. It was a very enjoyable way to spend the morning, and a very beautiful and relaxing ride! That afternoon I came back for the history of the lake boat ride, it was shorter than the eagle spotting venture, but was also with seasonal ranger West. She painted a unique picture about the geological origins of the lake and its troubled past. It was very interesting, and I really enjoyed hearing about it while actively seeing it in person. The facilities at the state park are brand new and they are amazing. They have very enriching and hands on ways to experience this park's history and biological elements. Many of their facilities are brand new due to increased funding and repairs after a tornado a few years ago. The flora and fauna of the lake are immensely beautiful. This place is most definitely a hidden gem for west Tennessee! I look forward to coming back this July for the 250th anniversary of the USA celebration.

As the biggest lake in Tennessee (covering 15,000 acres of water.,, but very shallow with most…read moreplaces not going over 5 feet), Reelfoot Lake was acquired by the state in the early 20th century and been maintained for public use since then. My wife and I stopped into their visitor center for a visit, being one of the few visitors on a Tuesday afternoon. It consists of two buildings: one is a museum/souvenir shop and the other had small acquariums, filled with snakes and fish. Outside, there were two sets of avian cages where a pair of bald eagles were kept in one, and the other had hawks.

Happy to put in the first review. This place is a gem. It's…read moreclean and quiet and reasonably priced. The owner is an older couple who are not on site. However, I called "Mr. Bill" with a question and we ended up speaking on the phone for 10 minutes about several things. He was so friendly and personable. I met his wife when she came in to write me a receipt. She was also extremely friendly and we chatted for some time. The most amazing thing is that the lobby is left open and unlocked. It's like a little living room with 2 large w/d for guests and a clean bathroom with a shower. We will definitely be staying there when husband has to work in the Union City area.

I visited with my father whom I had not spent time with in 30 years and the care and consideration shown us by Miss Natalie, the innkeeper, will never be forgotten. She even called the day after we left to make certain we traveled safe all the way home. To stay at Acorn Point Lodge is like a return to civility and the southern hospitality you read about. Enjoy!

I will start by generously offering the only compliment I can offer this establishment: the shower…read morein my second-floor room was wonderful. The tiled shower is very large and inviting, and the shower-head was large and under full pressure. The shower is why this establishment receives a greater-than one-star rating. Now, for the rest: the bedroom was disgustingly musty and there was visible water-damage on the ceiling. The smell from the mildew was overpowering and infected everything. The room's air was so damp and humid that even the sheets felt wet! Had I not needed a room late at night while traveling, and had I other options, I would have left this place. In fact, I should have left and slept in my vehicle- it would have been that much better. The bathroom layout is atrocious. When you open the door, the toilet is right in front of you... in the middle of the room! There is hardly enough room to walk around the commode in order to access the sink. The sheets were stained and looked dirty. I felt the need to inspect the bed and surrounding area for bugs. One more very important notice to anyone foolish enough to lodge here in the future: the curtains in my second-story room could not be pulled fully shut. As a result, there was a gap between curtains which allowed a stream of bright light to cascade into the room from the adjacent shopping center... all night long. It was awful. The staff were polite, and the young girl with the face full of piercings listened professionally and attentively to my concerns while I checked-out of the hotel. I will never return here. I will never recommend this place. Oh, and before I forget... there is no coffee maker in your room. If you want a cup of coffee you'll have to wait until at least 6am when the staff will brew a pot downstairs. That was frustrating, because I was awake all night in this nightmare room and was longing to leave when my darling wife awake at 5:45 a.m., and it would have been nice to have a cup of coffee in the room.

We had the privilege of staying in the Presidential suite and it didn't disappoint. Every detail has been thought of in this grand room! If you want to entertain there is plenty of room. When entering the suite area there is a separate seating area and large bathroom separate from the room. The suite includes a full size ice machine, small refrigerator, bar, glassware, sink, microwave and large screen TV. The king size bed is so comfortable and overlooks a pretty park with a fountain. The bathroom is huge with a fabulous large bathtub. You can fill your tub full and not run out of hot water. I wish there had been some bubble bath liquid, maybe next time the hotel will provide bubbles? The bar and restaurant was fun and the service was great! We ordered the egg rolls, lobster and bang bang shrimp, large side salad and corn soufflé. Next time we will pass on the corn and bang bang shrimp, not our favorite. Everything was good just not what we were expecting. I would rather have the corn served with the pork chop on the menu because the corn is more like a dressing type dish and it is sweet with cinnamon. The bang bang shrimp was good but not memorable mainly because it was fried and the sauce served on the side. In the beautiful lobby there is a baby grand piano. Having someone playing would have been nice. The hotel is very very clean with free parking!! Everyone was friendly and willing to accommodate with a happy smile. So refreshing to come to a place where you feel relaxed, comfortable and pampered. Thank you for a memorable, affordable Presidential suite $250.00 a night stay, we will return!!
