Big South Fork Trail Lodge

While the room was clean, it reeked of cigarette smoke and cat urine. The walls were so thin we could hear people moving around upstairs all night making it hard to sleep.

Reservations for two rooms had been make weeks in advance. We arrived at about 8:20 and the clerk was surprised. He said notice of our stay was sent only hours before. Still, nothing had been done to prepare our rooms. We were told that they would be ready in thirty minutes, but it took fifty of course. No problem with the stay once we got into our rooms.

The room smelled of cigarettes and cat urine. I had to spray perfume to try to get rid of it. My husband slept on top of the bed spread. I slept under the sheets. Not too clean. When I pulled back my sheets, there was a dead roach. I have bite marks on ankles.

Property was clean and maintained.

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.

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...

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.

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

Very unsafe.
