We were warmly greeted when we checked in. I booked two king rooms for two nights. Rooms were big, clean and had good amenities. Fridge, microwave, coffee maker. Only two complaints about the room. Water pressure was low in the shower. I took a shower late at night to wash the cigarette smoke smell off after visiting my family. Everyone seems to smoke but me. And the towels were very rough. They did absorb well. Highway noise on the back side is kinda loud but with white noise playing on my iPad it wasn't a big deal. Bed was comfortable. And it was nice to have a king bed to myself. My husband stayed home to take care of new puppy. Breakfast in the morning was great. Eggs, sausage, pancakes from a pancake machine, gravy biscuits and bacon. Lots of drink choices. There was a guy taking very good care of the food area. They were super nice and let us the use the meeting room for a small family gathering. Over all great hotel and staff. We will stay again when visiting family. Owingsville where they live doesn't have a hotel.

I can't speak to the cabins, but as for the lodge my review is under "Hemlock Lodge" and it's a solid 4 despite a few cons. But for the park itself--a 5, hands down. A beautiful, well maintained park full of trails from easy to difficult and each with glimpses of wonderful natural beauty such as the main trail here that leads to the natural bridge. You can hike to the top of the bridge and walk it, then trek under neath it for a view of the arches, then to several overlooks to get a glimpse of it from a distance. I'd recommend doing all of the above as each is breath-taking. This area of KY has more natural arches than any place east of Utah and that doesn't get mentioned nearly enough. There's a local business on site at the park that sells passes to ride a ski lift to the top of the resort park trail where you can then trek to the natural bridge in 15 minutes or so (max) of moderate hiking. We opted for the one way pass and hiked down--a really great hike but one that is a bit more difficult and provides opportunities to slip and fall so if you're a casual at best hiker you may prefer the roundtrip lift. It's worth doing if you're up for it though, as it's a beautiful hike. Really great park in a really great location to use as a homebase to explore all of the red river gorge area which offers a lot of other great hikes and natural beauty.
