“People make the difference.

First place in a while to have 89 octane, ethanol free, gas. So topped off tank. Dock hand was helpful.

Came in from the north via a nearshore channel. This avoids the nearshore submerged town with the church steeple which I have met personally on a previous trip.

Marina had few boats, so they put us in a covered slip rather than the uncovered transient dock. I was thinking about all the things I could do in the shade, I forgot about the radio antennas. Fortunately one of two survived.

We got a good deal on a two bedroom townhouse for a few dollars more than a lodge room. Very comfy. Lots of space and a full kitchen.

Restaurant was only open during dinner hours in October. So we got stuff to go for lunch the next day.

My wife is vegetarian, so had to make a meal from sides.

Marina has pizza, but they were out of most sides at the end of season.”

“We love staying at Grand Rivers Inn during the summer months while boating! You do have to keep in mind that it is an inn in the middle of Kentucky, so it’s understandably a little outdated, but it’s made for many core memories through the years! The location is ideal, as it neighbors a grocery and liquor store, is right across the street from the town bar, and it’s just a sidewalk away from Craig’s Icecream & Burgers (oh and Patti’s- that’s like the most important thing, duh!!!!). They also have a swimming pool to cool off in. The owners keep the rooms clean for the most part, and the beds are actually SUPER comfortable- I always get a great night’s sleep when we stay! It’s only a 2-3 minute drive via golfcart to Green Turtle Bay marina, so it’s super convenient if you’re docking your boat there. My only issue is there are often spiders that will find their way in the rooms, but you’ll find that anywhere in the area, so it’s not necessarily their fault.
There is no online booking, so you need to call if you want to reserve a room. However, you can see each type of room and the rates they go for per night on their website. The prices are very reasonable, and the nicer rooms aren’t much of a price difference from the regular ones! If you have a group of 4+, I 100% recommend staying at one of their Queen Bedded Houses they offer, it’s worth the price. There is no daily room service, so you need to take your trash out in the mornings, but they will bring you new towels if you request them. The owners are friendly, and we’ve yet to have a bad experience here. Overall, a great place that’s affordable and convenient!”

“The venue was amazing. Could not have thought of a better place to host the 2024 Southeastern Wildlife Society ConclaveNearby activities: There is a plethora of amazing attractions nearby. Especially the lake and the park with free roaming elk and bison”
