Our room was clean and comfortable. Bathroom was a bit dated. Shower drain was slow. Linens all in good shape. Loved the private balcony and view and the access to the hiking trails right outside our door. Breakfast was typical, not much variety between days.

Property is old and outdated. The staff was standing around the corner from our room smoking all day and night. The shower was leaking from the ceiling. One of the queen beds had old yellow looking sheets and pillowcases and the other one was white. AC wasn’t working when we first got there had to call and have it turned on. Would look elsewhere

This is a safe and economic option for enjoying Red River Gorge. We loved having a private balcony and little rockers to enjoy our mornings. My only complaint is that the temperature of the shower shifted during use, occasionally becoming far too hot. I would not feel comfortable allowing a small child to use it alone.

The property needs to be updated severely. The lobby furniture was truly uncomfortable due to its age and condition. Outside of rooms view is obstructed by debris from trees and weeds. Needs some clearing out and weed eating.

Beautiful scenic views from the dining area and all the rooms. Makes you feel like you are a part of the outdoors when you are standing on the balcony. The trails are right there. The Natural Bridge is so close. The food was good. Most of the staff was friendly. The young girl at the front desk doesn't seem to have social skills, but everyone else does.

Natural Bridge State Park Resort is a very nice place to stay. Room was clean and comfortable, dining at the restaurant was very good. Many hiking trails close by and do not miss the hike to Natural Bridge. Also took the Gorge Underground classic boat tour. That was a great boat ride in an abandoned Limestone mine. I would definately return.

The location of the property was a plus but every thing else was nasty. Our room had paint peeling from every where. If the person in the room next to you was using the toilet or running water and you were in the shower you would scolding hot water. We had ants coming up out of the drain. The only good thing is it’s not far from any hiking trails.

Worst beds ever!! Hard as a rock mattress with no health code required mattress protectors on the beds. When I inquired at the front desk, I was told all the beds were like that and she gave me the name of the park manager Tim Hibbard as to be the one who didn't think keeping guests free from bed bugs or soiled mattresses was important. Other wise, everything else was fine.

Check in was fast except if you have any questions about the property, the front desk give you attitude for taking up their time watching Netflix and gossiping about their family. Got to our cottage and inspected the place. I saw mold under the sink and shower, 25 baby spiders in the corner of the room, and 7 daddy long legs in the closet, rust on the whole fridge from the outside to the inside. I made the front desk aware of my issues and she said they already knew about the mold that it won’t be resolved. I just felt unsafe my whole trip to sleep there. You need a tetanus shot to stay in the cottages! At least offer us to move to the inn!

When we first arrived the room we had had no hot water they couldn’t move us because there was no other rooms available on Saturday. They finally moved us to another room at like 3 o’clock in the afternoon and the water pressure was like nonexistent, but there was hot water, but not even enough hot water to fill the tub to take a bath. We have been staying here for years and I’m super unhappy with our last day. No hot water couldn’t move us and then the terrible water Pressure Not the best day I’ve had there.

Hemlock Lodge stay
The Lodge provided a nice place to sleep and shower after hiking all day. I did not use the Lodge’s breakfast or any other food or drink services. The location was great for accessing the Red River Gorge and was an awesome hike in - hike out site for the trails at the Natural Bridge. Commutation wise, it’s pretty much on you. The front counter personnel could be a little more friendly and personable, it is the hospitality industry. I give the total stay 4 stars. I would definitely stay there again. The only complaint I have isn’t directed towards the Lodge, but to some if the inconsiderate guests. The people next door to me stomped around, talked, loudly, and slammed every door that they opened. Hikers like to get up and out early, but not everyone does. People need to try to be quiet when getting up and out early. This includes talking when walking along the balcony or sidewalk to the parking lot. No need to be loud. I was in Phoenix m, AZ a month ago and the same inconsideration was occurring in the hotel u was staying in. Please be considerate of others when staying in hotels, lodges, etc.

If you come expecting a five star experience you will be disappointed, but we came for the amazing location, with access to great hiking, and found the lodging experience to be better than anticipated. We rented a one bedroom cabin and found it adequate. My one suggestion would be more lighting. We heard some of the cabins had long stairways to access but our was fine. We also were told that the walk to the lodge was not advised so we drove there for dinner, but next morning we did walk over for breakfast and it was not a problem at all. Both of our meals were very good, again not fine dining but I enjoyed the Kentucky hot brown for dinner, and the sausage gravy and biscuits for breakfast and both were very tasty!. The servers at dinner were very sweet and helpful and couldn't have been more enthusiastic. We will likely return.
