A hidden gem in the Appalachian hills of Sandy Hook, KY. Family owned, small 14 room lodge with friendly owner and staff. Tucked at the base of a forest, just off Route 7. Persons using this are kayakers, fishermen, workers, hunters, persons visiting the nearby prison, and persons visiting the Elliott Nursing Home. Highly recommend reservations as far ahead as you know your plans as they stay booked up! You can call in or make reservations online. Five stars for country living expectations as everything here is all you need and for the convenience to the locations of the lakes, forest, prison, and nursing home. Seven rooms upstairs and seven downstairs. No elevator. The second floor has a great porch with rocking chairs and tables for smoking, using your laptops, or having snacks outside. The rooms are strictly non smoking- you can smoke outside. They serve coffee and some cereal and pastries to start your day if you partake. I’m a repeat customer, as many of their customers are, here visiting family in the nursing home and the nearby county. Appreciative of this business and...
Read moreOkay. I travel. A lot. My expectations for a hotel / lodge are somewhat high. This place was wonderful. It was marvelous and I dare to even use my all time favorite adjective EXQUISITE.
Okay first of all; the staff. They are so very friendly and actually care about their guests. I was traveling with my twins and needed to have two pack and plays for them… The owner had them overnighted to the lodge, and they were all set up for me upon check-in. She went above and beyond.
Next; the rooms are well-maintained, the bed is comfortable, and most importantly, cleanliness was an obvious priority for them.
Third; The location of the lodge is perfect… It is off one of the main roads, but tucked away in a cozy little hill of beautiful scenery.
If I am ever even close to Sandyhook Kentucky again, I will be staying here… I would rather stay here than any other hotel I've experienced.
Well done, Little Sandy Lodge, well done.
Thankfully, Amanda &...
Read moreVery much enjoyed our stay at Little Sandy Lodge! We needed to extend our stay by one day & they were very helpful and accommodating. Some of the cleanest rooms of anywhere we've ever stayed. We felt like if we needed anything at all or had any questions, all we had to do was ask. There's a Save A Lot grocery within walking distance, and Giovanni's Pizza is just a few miles away and was our favorite option for dinner (not open on Sundays or Mondays as of 8/2023). Close too to the memory gardens where there's a sign and statue to remember the great Keith Whitley. The larger towns of Grayson and Morehead are less than an hour's drive if you're staying and need anything not available in Sandy Hook. Oh, and the Penny Mart has the best milkshakes and kind people who work there & always offered to pump gas for us. Sandy Hook sure did endear itself to us during...
