Everything that was metal was rusted, even the lamps.

The shower had lots of grout missing so you know there is mold growing.
No hand soap was provided.

Cottage Stay
Pros:

This was a great place with everything we needed near by, like home plenty room, huge bathroom & a wonderful arated tub. There's a moisture problem few mildew issues we burned a candle & wiped things down, that was too be expected with all the dampness in air. We'll stay here again

Pros:

After spending 8 hours in the saddle (motorcycle) in full gear in 90 degree heat, I was looking forward to a nice cool hotel room! But they didn't even have the AC on! Grrrrrr. I'd expect after reserving a room they would have the AC on BEFORE I arrived.
They also advertise a "whirlpool tub". THAT was a joke!

Pros:

Rented a cottage. Full of bugs, heat didn’t work, the electric heaters were an absolute joke as after running for hours it was still 57 degrees inside and below freezing outside. Tv didn’t work in the bedroom. Breaker kept popping for the bedroom the entire time. Finally just left around 10pm. Absolutely ruined the entire weekend getaway.

1 night Only
Pros:

The room itself was nice. It had 3 queen sized beds and everything was made nicely and the blankets/sheets were clean. The bathroom was tidy as well. The floors needed another sweep and mop though. And there was random pieces of short, black hair on most of the towels. Also, I recommend checking in when it is daylight as the check in office is a camper off to the side of a much bigger hotel and at night, it seems very sketchy even though it's not. The camper does not give the greatest first impression but we were pleasantly surprised with the room itself and ultimately enjoyed our stay and would stay again if the need ever arose again.

New family tradition
Pros:

Visiting family for the holidays and not having to stay in a crowded home is why we’ll do this every visit. Incredibly fair price for what you get! We loved having space for our dogs to roam and being in our preferred neighborhood. We’ll be back for sure!

Pros:

Not sure where to check in had to call when we arrived and the owner met us and took us to the room. It was run down and people living next to the room we stayed in with car up on jacks and windows out of vehicle. Did not feel comfortable or secure staying but it was just a place to sleep as we traveled through the area.

Honest, Old Fashioned Accommodations
Pros:

Old fashioned cabins where you're likely going to be next to another guest or family with just a wall between you, but very well kept and likely as clean as they can be for their age. The staff I'd dealt with was friendly and accommodating. My youngster was a bit uncertain at first because it was his first time at somewhere like this outside of church camp, but we had a great time and would recommend it to anyone who is comfortable with a cabin-style approach.

If the wife is used to five star resorts you might need to look elsewhere, but if you just need a safe, clean place to sleep while you explore LBL or have other adventures, give this place a try.

Pros:

This listing is nothing the pictures present. We rented a 1-BR "cottage", which was depicted in the listing. It was a dumpy, off-the-road motel. Clean but totally dumpy, with broken interior lights, no plug-ins, a sink with broken parts, and definitely no kitchenette - just a microwave and fridge. The TV didn't work. Would not recommend.

Pros:

My son and I took a fishing trip and this property was perfect for us. It was convenient to Kentucky Lake and the bed was comfortable for sleeping, since that is all we did at the property. We were upgraded due to few guests at this time of the year:)

Pros:

Property was outdated with many visible broken amenities. Probably was nice when built but doesn't look like it's been maintained very well since.

Beware... this is unkept and scary.
Pros:

We didn't even stay here. The exterior was unkept. The check in guy showed up to a trailer that i didn't even think was part of the facility. The room he showed us had a roach running down the inside of the door. The pictures on the website are much nicer. Building behind the cabins look even worse. Inside unit very dated, but main concer was the roaches, gap under entry door and surroundings!
