Awesome resort. We love the cottages on the water. Perfect little getaway. Update: We now rent a camper spot all year round because we love this resort so much! The staff is super friendly and the resort is very clean ......minus the bathhouse bathrooms. Lots of spiderwebs. Could use an update for sure. But besides that everything is great!!!!
We just spent 3 days and 4 nights here in what we were told, was a newly renovated hotel room with a king size bed. The room was nice and very clean. The shower was nice and big and the bed was unbelievably comfortable! The 2 large windows with a view of the lake to be able to watch the sunrise and sunsets was an added bonus. It was also nice to be able to rent a covered boat slip. The entire resort, including the pool, was clean, the grounds were well kept and the staff couldn’t have been any nicer! We had a great time and can’t wait to go back.
Buchanan Resort is hidden treasure. A group of friends get together here once a year, fraternity brothers and sisters. There are often over 100 of us who meet to renew our fellowship. You can imagine the difficulty in finding a place to accommodate our needs. For 15 years, Buchanan Resort has been doing just that. I have not heard 1 complaint from anyone about the facilities, staff, or location. Nor has Buchanan Resort ever complained about our being there. We come from across this great nation to hang out with friends, some of whom have know each other for over 50 years. We are grateful to have found such a beautiful place to rest, to socialize, and to "kick-it" until the wee hours of the night. Great marina with great access to Kentucky Lake, LBL, Murray State, and lots of friendly folks. One thing, best to make your reservation well in advance.
This is the Best campground, we have been to. Super clean, great pool, beach and amenities.
One of the coolest places on KY Lake to stay. From weddings, class reunions, to just a quick get away, this is the place for you!
What a great place to be. Nice and helpfull people at the reception and in the store. They where so glad that we visit Buchanan Resort. We are the European family who came here and they where happy with us and we with this beautiful place.
This place was quite, in a great location right on the water, easy to rent another boat. Staff is friendly and keep everything very clean!
Our family has been coming to Buchanan Resort for 12 years now, other family members even longer. Tracy and Jordan have been our main housekeepers during our visits and have been absolutely amazing! The resort is so beautiful and peaceful. All the staff members are so sweet! Can’t wait to return next year!
On the shores of Kentucky Lake, this woodsy resort dating from 1946 is 2 miles from Highway 79, and 6 miles from golf, fishing and boating at Paris Landing State Park.
