I come here At least every year because my daughter lives right up the Street. Veronica the owner is very nice And makes sure that you have everything you need. The town itself seems to be going down hill a little bit but hopefully they will get there "ship" together.

My husband and I came the week after labor day and stayed a few nights here. It is SO clean and well maintained, the pool is perfect. We stayed in a room in the INN one night and 2 nights in one of the cottages. Veronica, the owner, is so friendly and kind. We will be back!

We came into town to visit family and stayed here for five days. It was a nice cozy hotel room that had everything we needed. The owner is so friendly! Frsh towels and items were delivered daily. The pool area is really nice to sit and relax and take in some sun. This is also located right in town, which was great for walking to the tourist area, grabbing a bite to eat, grocery shopping, and just enjoying this little town.

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 You do have to keep in mind that it is an inn in the middle of Kentucky, so it’s understandably a little outdated, but it’s made for many core memories through the years!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!

Nothing fancy but a great place to stay if you are in the area. Staff is friendly and helpful. Golf cart rentals on site if you are interested. Pool looked nice. Motel style rooms or cabins available at very reasonable prices. Book early if your stay is during a holiday as rooms fill up fast.

Returned again: 6th visit. We love this place and the heated pool. (Hotel room mattresses are not the most comfortable, but we still love this place!) AWESOME! Quaint and rustic in a storybook setting with attentive owners and central location. Great place if you dont mind dated furnishings and such. Overall, it was very clean, and the heated pool was great. (The pool was really clean and set up nice for kids) They also rent golf carts at reasonable rates. Definitely plan to return to this hidden gem.
