Some good suggestions on here from the folks. The Bel Air is a really good place to stay if you want a small motel...nice folks...clean..near the Ky Dam Marina. October is off season rates for the resorts...you should be able to get a lodge rooom or cabin at The Moor's for less than 100.00 a night, plus you are on the water there. I would go for Gingerwood for a cabin off the water.
I do have a few open dates in mid October and would be happy to take you out....but you need to book the date soon or I will be booked up.
