Big South Fork Trail Lodge

The facility is small, our room was tiny, and so comfy, everything needed was provided. McCreary County is a beautiful, scenic place with few places to stay...we were lucky to find this wonderful little oasis. Room did not have a telephone, which was not needed anyway. I wanted to write a positive review quickly so that this great place gets as much exposure as possible. The hosts are very kind and helpful. We hope this little business succeeds....it certainly has the market! Blessings to its success and to all that needs a quiet rest for a weary soul...

The staff were all very friendly and helpful. I didn’t bring my cat as I felt that the fee of $100 was excessive for this property especially compared to 4-5 star properties who charge way less, and then I arrive and there are cats everywhere. If you are allergic don’t stay here. I love cats and enjoyed it, except for the male cat spray smell in our room. When I was signing in a cat jumped up on the counter beside me and as an owner of cats that told me there’s cat on everything there. Again, I love them and so it didn’t bother me but plenty of people wouldn’t be able to stay. I thought the property was cute but it appears people are living there with their children and there was a broken down vehicle parked at our building. Inside the room, I could tell someone had cared to decorate it nicely and it was mostly clean. However, there was hair on the bathtub and the bath mat in both our rooms was horrific with stains. Not one or two but the entire mat looked filthy. We had two towels and two wash rags in each room, no hand towels and upon arrival someone was sent to our room to “plug stuff in”. The ice machine is broken. The shower in one of our rooms didn’t work so they had to come over and use ours. Overall I was a little disappointed because I thought we were paying for the room that is featured in the advertised pictures but if you look closely that is a Deluxe room only and you won’t get the little kitchenette in the other rooms.

This place was amazing. Glendon in the front office couldn't have been kinder or more accomodating. I called late the night before thanksgiving, after packimg up at an unexpectedly terrible HipCamp and he gave me a dog friendly room (two big labs) and a nice quiet spot where they wouldnt bother neighbors if they barked (which they didnt because the hotel was SO QUIET!!!) The room was spotlesss and smelled better than many chain hotels ive been in. I couldnt recommend this place enough if youre headed to Big South Fork or Daniel Boone for some recreation. Thanks again Glendon and Big Sputh Fork Lodge for beimg exactly what i needed after spening a week camping in the woods. Oh and the mattresses were really nice!

Very rustic. Looks like they are trying to improve the inside of the rooms. Had some issues with the shower and the towels were clean but stained.

We stayed one night. The room was clean and staff was friendly. There were some dogs barking off and on throughout the evening but I think it was from a near by house not from another room at the lodge. The barking stopped before we got to sleep and it was quiet the rest of the night. The beds were a little more firm than I like but were still fairly comfortable. The location was perfect for us as it was only 2 minutes from the activity we had planned the following morning. It was myself and my mother and we felt safe there. Overall, it was a nice place to stay and would consider it again if I ever revisit the area.

I did not feel safe at this property. There was a couple yelling and fighting in the room next to me. I also could not get my laptop connect to the internet for homework. I felt so unsafe I didn't even stay the whole night. It looks like the meth capital of the country in this town.

Staff is great Jess is amazing love the location and the property is beautiful they have a pool the rooms are very clean and comfortable definitely will be back i love the set up and its pet and family friendly

The room was nice and had a nice home like feel, the beds were super comfortable and the room was very clea. Staff was friendly and very helpful. Pool was the perfect place to relax and escape the heat of the day. As a solo traveler this one one of the only hotels I will stay at alone. I feel very safe there. It was very quiet, and conveniently located near local attractions, hiking and plenty of options to choose from for dinner. 10/10 would recommend staying here.

Terrible leak in Shower. The knob on the shower facet would not stay on.
