Lake S’Mores Resort + Spa*

Owenton, Kentucky

Located in Owenton, Kentucky, Lake S'mores Resort + Spa is a destination designed to provide an unparalleled escape from the everyday hustle. The master-planned retreat balances the preservation of the area's natural beauty with responsible, low-impact development to create a sanctuary for guests.
