Buchanan Resort - Caught mouse!

Everything!!my brother in law had live mice in his cabin with traps everywhere!! . We had dried…read morefeces on the floor of our bathroom. Black mold on all the windows. Towels were wet and musty. 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. We had a cabin infested with mice,…read moreall of our food left on the counter was infested with ants, and the owner was not only hard to work with, but not as apologetic as one would hope with a cabin relocation due to the mice traps and mice infestation. 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.

Whispering Oaks Resort is truly a magnificent destination that offers a perfect blend of comfort,…read moreluxury, and natural beauty. The cabins at the resort are clean, spacious, and equipped with everything you need for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. After a long day of fishing Kentucky Lake , you'll be pleased to find that the beds at Whispering Oaks Resort are incredibly comfortable. The high-quality sheets and plush pillows ensure a restful night's sleep. You'll wake up feeling refreshed and ready for another day of adventure. However, the absolutely best part of Whispering Oaks Resort and what sets it apart from the many nearby competitors are their people. The people who own the resort will be the first to offer you a smile, handshake, minnow bucket, or a fishing pole.

This place is absolutely amazing! We have stayed at many lake resorts and marinas over the years…read moreand this one is by far our absolute favorite. The owners oh my goodness have to be the best and the worlds greatest owners. They made us feel at home and like family and we've never got the family feeling or vibe from any other resort owners in past. Just come check them out and this place out and you will see what I'm trying to say and I guarantee you won't be sorry! They will for sure be seeing our family a lot this summer! I can't stress enough how great these owners are, you just have to come see!

Gets 1 star for the view of the lake. Staff pleasant but incompetent. Issues brought to their…read moreattention were never addressed during a 5 day stay. Blaming "outside company issues ". Example: Could only get 1 station on the cable TV. Told me they would send someone the next day. Still waiting. Called again. Was told that they would notify the cable company tomorrow. Still not resolved. Called again and was told there was no timeline to address this issue. I love rustic but clean would be better. There are no planned activities until after Memorial Day. 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.
