Also, I would advise staying in the Appletree at Independence Ks or there is 2 new hotels in Coffeyville as you drive into town - 20 min drive to the lake from Independence Ks.

Timberhill lodge is highly recommended - Kansas Vacation Photos - Timberhill Lodge, Big Hill Lake, Cherryvale, Kansas (KS)
