Reviews of The Villas at Marker 48 (formerly America's Paradise Resort)
"The last time our family enjoyed the former America's Paradise Resort was 20 years ago. At that time the owner was onsite, and they had a great rapport with the guests. Any issues with maintenance of the cottages were addressed within 24 hours. The present owners are apparently off-site and they are understaffed. The present staff is accommodating and friendly. Our cottage (10) was very clean and very cute, the beds were superb. The interior was decorated well with very nice furniture. The shower was very small! We had a problem with non-working outlets in both the bathroom and kitchen. We texted them (since that is the only way to contact them in a timely manner)with our issue and they said they would alert maintenance. Maintenance never came, and we were left using a bedroom outlet for the hair dryer. It's interesting to try and dry/style one's hair without a mirror! No complaints at all about the condition of the appliances. The pool was clean and in working order."
"We booked cottage 3, and absolutely LOVED it. Best view of the lake on the whole property. The cabin was not fancy and the bathroom small, but we had plenty of space for 2 adults and 2 younger kids. Perfect for a quick weekend getaway. Never had any issues that even required contacting the front desk. Great for younger kids. Ours loved the little beach area. The swimming pool was a nice addition, but we barely used it because the kids preferred the beach/lake area more. The complimentary kayaks/paddleboards were a really nice perk. Because of those, my kids both got to try kayaking for the first time and loved it! We will definitely look again for an extended weekend!"
"We go to a different destination every year for family Vaca. This place is the only one we have been to twice. Love the location on Kentucky lake. Great views. Cabins are dated. We stayed in cabin 10 on our last trip and I cannot recommend that one unless you are a family of small people due to the size of the shower. It's smalllllll. Other than that the rest of the resort is great. Pool is nice, clean beach with kayaks and stand up paddle boards free to use!!! I was talking to the great staff and there are new owners and they have big plans for this place. I'll check back in a few years and see what has changed. This place can only get better."
"The staff were outstanding, especially the manager, Missy. She was very accommodating and super friendly! The cottages were very clean and stocked well. Loved that they supply firewood if you would like to partake at night. We'll definitely return! Perfect hideaway when you want to unplug from the chaos. All the available activities were so convenient at no additional charge."
"Me and my girlfriend stayed here a while back in Cottage #3 and we loved it. The cottage was very clean when we walked in and the back deck had a beautiful view of Kentucky Lake. They had kayaks out to use which was awesome and many more games and things to do. The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars was it seemed a majority of the day the grounds crew was out weed eating, mowing, etc. which kind of took away from the calm quiet atmosphere most are craving when they come for a vacation. At the same time however, I understand they were out working in order to keep the resort as nice looking as possible. We defiantly plan to visit again and would recommend this resort to anyone!"
