We’re big fans of state parks and Jenny Wiley has a lot to offer. We have stayed at the lodge and the campground. Love the peacefulness and beauty. The hospitality and food are amazing too.

The scenery of lake Dewey and the mountains are amazing. Please. Take the short trip to Prestonsburg and visit the mountain art center. Just the hairpin turns alone makes the trip worth it. The May center has a really good buffet as well.

Located in the heart of Appalachian’s the resort is named for a pioneer women Jenny Wiley who was born in PA she was captured by native Americans and witnessed the murder of her young brother and 4 Children. Also with child and after the birth of that child it was also murdered due to slowing down the journey.

Absolutely beautiful setting!! The staff was very friendly! I attended a conference during the week there. There were a few hiccups and some small issues, but they were able to be remedied. A lot of the rooms could use some updating. It seems like this state park receives much less funding than some others I have been to.

The rooms are outdated, but quaint. The service at the restaurant was sub-par, but the steak was great! Check-in was easy, but good luck checking out early morning. Apparently they lock up the lobby sometime during the night, so I just stuck my room cards in the door jamb and left. But it is a lovely area with good views of the lake, so I'm not complaining.
