We have traveled every summer for 30 something years staying in Destin and Panama City, Flordia, Denver and all over Kentucky and Tennessee staying at what is rated some of the best and nicest. Katie and Pete at Poplar Creek Lodge make it a point to get to know you, make you feel at home and go out of their... more

We just left this lodge. We had a great time and Katie and Pete are the best. Forget the big name hotels and stay in a family owned and operated CLEAN lodge. We have stayed in 4 & 5 star hotels from Chicago to Naples FL and this lodge has the cleanest rooms you have ever stayed. Kate & Pete... more

I have stayed in the Poplar Creek Lodge several times, and have reviewed it once before (June, 2006). As usual, Katie had everything lined up for us, and bent over backwards to make our stay terrific. As another reviewer noted, this feels more like staying with family than staying in a motel.

I just returned from a week long fishing trip to Lake Barkley/Kentucky Lake. Though I have visited the Lakes many times before, this was my first stay at Poplar Creek Lodge. All I can say is, it won't be my last. The owner, Katie, was very accomodating to the needs of fishermen, even going as far as making dinner reservations... more
