Food and service were fantastic. We had a party of 20 people, and the establishment did everything to accommodate our family. The menu is loaded and at a reasonable price. Would highly recommend stopping if your at the park. Portions are large, and you won't regret it.

On a rainy afternoon a friend and I visited this museum. We had a wonderful tour guide, Juanita who was so knowledgeable of the history of the area. I cannot say enough great things about what I saw and heard.
It is so well worth the time to visit and see our link to the past.

My wife and I, as well as three other couples rented an 800 series houseboat from State Dock. For a very reasonably priced, "after Labor Day" rate, we enjoyed a fantastic four day vacation experience on Lake Cumberland! We enjoyed the very spacious and luxurious houseboat, which came with a kayak, because we signed up early enough at a local boat show promotional. We did take our own fishing boat with us, so that we could venture out from our houseboat, to fish. In addition to the expected microwave and refrigerator, we had a dishwasher, stove with oven, washing machine and dryer, and a very decent gas grill. The houseboat had central air as well as an abundance of ceiling fans. Although there were plenty of dishes and cups, we were hard pressed to find a single sharp meat knife. Since I am a bit of a coffee snob, I called to inquire about the on board coffee maker. I was advised that the boat came with a drip coffee maker and filters. Upon arrival, I found the coffee maker but it came with only five filters. I guess their assumptions were that one pot a day was enough! Ha! Lucky I brought my own "french press" and premium coffee beans! The spacious hot tub on the upper deck worked well and could quickly be refilled via lake water pumped into it. It took a bit of time to find a captain to initially back us out of our slip, but we passed the time waiting, by swatting the many house flys that had come on board between renter groups. Although we were quite easily able to tie up for the night, the extremely steep banks and sometimes lack of accessible trees could make this virtually impossible for those who may not be able-bodied enough to scamper up the banks to do this. We ran our generator the entire time and never ran out of electricity. We used two of the six bedrooms for storage and were well accommodated by the two full bathrooms. Be sure to buy a good nautical map of the lake, as the one furnished was s bit skimpy on information. Be sure to watch the video before boarding your houseboat. De-boarding was very quickly done, so don't wait until the last minute to gather all of your belongings. All in all, our houseboat vacation with State Docks was absolutely fantastic, and I'd do it again, in a heart-beat!
