Wonderful place to stay! Very quaint and comfortable! I felt at home from the minute I punched in the room code. I have stayed in some nice hotels and this one compares and beats those! Would definitely recommend staying here and will again!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Lakehouse Inn. The rooms were spotless, well appointed with all you needed! Service was quick and extremely accommodating. The office area was adorable and such a cozy spot for a continental breakfast. Felt like we were at a resort lodge. From start to finish, we loved everything about The Lakehouse Inn and would most definitely stay there again!

The Lakehouse Inn was just what I was looking for in the Kentucky Lakes area. We stayed in one of the small houses on the property and could not have been happier. Super clean, great location, wonderful staff, amazing pool and grounds and the list goes on and on! It can be very overwhelming when looking for a place to stay for three nights with so many options in the area and this property did not disappoint. We came to play golf in the area and the location was perfect. We loved the little porch to sit and play cards and have a cold beverage afterwards. I highly recommend The Lakehouse Inn.

I was hoping for a cabin with a view of the lake. While this place did not have that everything else was absolutely perfect. The room was beautifully appointed, but what made it the nicest was how nice the people were. They quickly got me settled and showed me where all the extra amenities were. They helped me find a good restaurant where I had one of the best steaks I’ve ever had! It is well worth the stay there.

We stayed here when visiting family after the unexpected loss of a loved one. The rooms were beautiful and clean, and it was a great place to rest after a long day. Waking up to coffee and breakfast was a nice treat, and being able to come and go with a passcode made our midnight arrival easy.

We had a lovely stay!!! The cabin was clean and spacious. You never knew a highway was nearby, it felt like you were deep in the woods. The kids loved the heated pools and all the games. My youngest loved the breakfast! And the coffee bar was a nice touch! Thank you for the great stay and the memories!

Whenever we travel from Atlanta to Illinois for the holidays, we like to stop halfway and check out the lights at Patti’s in Kentucky and eat dinner. This year we decided to stay the night and we found this amazing gem of a place! The rooms are nice and tidy. The decor and ambience were very inviting and cozy. We even had our own little Christmas tree. If you are visiting the KY lake area, I highly recommend staying at The Lakehoyse Inn! I will also add, if you stay during the holiday season the place is nice and quiet. Perfect place for a family stay.
