Photographed a wedding here last night and woah! Amazing!! Hands down! The cabins are all nestled up next to the lake, so peaceful and gorgeous. Staff was incredible, super sweet and had everything running smoothly. Food was amazing. No complaints at all! Absolutely loved it! Can't wait to return!

If you're planning a wedding weekend or group event, Kuyahoora is the place to be! We’ve had the pleasure of working with Kim, Kim, Bri, and Emily - they’re truly the best. The property is gorgeous, the amenities are top-notch, the food is amazing, and the whole experience is smooth from start to finish. You can feel the care and passion that went into creating this space, and it shows in every interaction. Kuyahoora shines with exceptional service, scenery, and experience

We recently did a shoot at Kuyahoora Lodge & Resort, and it honestly blew us away. The lakeside views are absolutely stunning! The whole place has this peaceful, tucked-away vibe that makes it perfect for a weekend-long celebration. Can’t wait to be back here again! IG: @tom_studios_photography

Could have better signage and better night lighting on roads near properties. Food and service from Rocky's was incredible! Properties are right out of the movies.

We had the privilege of staying at the Adirondack Cabin this past week and it was truly amazing! The house was spotless, had so many amenities and special touches. It felt like home away from home. The property is spacious with a huge beautiful yard right on the lake, so many different seating areas both indoor and out, fire pits, kayaks, paddle board. Both the adults and kids were Entertained for days -never had to leave the property! We also had a great day out on the pontoon with Captain Al! Can’t wait to come back!!

So glad we found this resort and the wonderful things it has to offer! My family stayed in the Lakeview Cabin last week and everyone had an amazing time. The house is beautiful and spacious enough for all; the property is peaceful and serene. My granddaughters (ages 4 and 3) loved the play area and we adults loved that it’s conveniently located near the cabin. It was like they were running out in their backyard at home where we could still see and hear them. The staff (Kim B and Emily) were more than helpful from the initial booking to the last day of our stay months later. Very thoughtful, and it’s obvious they truly care about their guests. We took advantage of the Pontoon rental and was able to enjoy fishing a couple of days, and the relaxation of the lake. We would love for the beach to be as amazing as it is at the ADK cabin, but that won’t deter us from going back next year. A tradition has been started! You definitely have to check out Rocky’s On The Lake, the on-site restaurant which has amazing meals and courteous staff. We can’t wait to go back to Kuyahoora next summer!

I attended the venue as a guest for a wedding. The venue is beautiful, the food was fantastic, and the staff worked like ninjas. I spoke with a few of the staff members who were all driven to the same goal of top-notch customer service. Well done.
