Lodge Rooms are outdated! Needs new furniture, paint, doors, curtains, and mini blinds! Refrigerators, Microwaves, and Big Screen Tv's on a wall mount need to be included in each lodge room because there are days the lodge restaurant is not open to serve food! The outside patio of my lodge room was dirty and entire place needs to be pressure washed! The outdoor pool is very nice, and the grounds was clean and mowed!! Customer Service is excellent and very accomodating at the front desk!

Check in was easy, room was clean and comfortable, and the balcony was delightful. We were there right before peak season so nothing was open (restaurants, pool, etc) but the facility itself was nice.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The park and lake are beautiful, but the rooms in the lodge are terrible. Lights didn't work, commode was loose, the carpet was a hundred years old, the back door to the patio had a hole in it. The TV tube was going out and it was unwatchable. It appeared that they were in the process of updating the lodge. All I can say is they had better. No one wants to spend the night under those conditions.

It is due for update. Pool was great. Karen in the Lodge dining was EXCELLENT!!! Food was very good. All the folks we encountered who worked at Barren were delightful. The bar was not open- due to lack of help. Our room was clean, a bit musty & needs an update. But, we understand it on the calendar.
