We had a great stay! The staff were very friendly and we loved staying on property. It was nice to wake up and catch a tour of Mammoth cave before we continued on our trip.
Our stay was just 1 night. The Lodge is a great building with a great staff and tons of info and gift shops. The cabins are clean but a little rustic if you are used to hotel rooms. If you’re looking for a place to sleep and shower it’s just fine. The only place to get breakfast is the lodge restaurant which is only a buffet.
We took the extended historical tour which would recommend.
My historic cottage was clean, and everything there was in working order. The only surprise was the lack of a TV; bring reading material or you will spend quite a bit of time in the Lodge, the only source of internet. The Ranger who led the cave tour was quite funny and informative.

It's like an old style motel. Room was clean. Beds comfortable. The bathroom was old and dated but functional. The location is perfect within the park with a short walk to the visitor center and tours. Food at the diner was good
Fantastic location, comfortable, quiet room. Great for families. Nice lodge and breakfast options. Also had lunch anddinner available and everything was open Easter morning, which was great. Easy parking. Internet conncection is spotty and may be carrier dependent since the location is remote. We had AT&T at the time. We traveled in April and so didn't use the air conditioning. Only negative was that the water pressure in the shower was set way too high and would flood the bathroom floor everytime we used it (we were in an ADA room, so no tub)
Our little cabin had so much historic character. Everything was clean and functional, and staff were very helpful. Loved our stay! Would definitely stay there again.
It was great staying inside the National Park, and even walking distance to the visitor’s center! The cabin was adorable, and the bed was so comfortable. Wish we could have stayed longer!
It was a great place to stay located in the middle of the National Park. Cave tours and numerous trails are all centrally located. We ate at both restaurants and enjoyed both of them. We had a great time and glad we came.
This place is amazing, the people are just incredible people very friendly and helpful! I will definitely be back again soon! The place is very clean as well!
Very nice place to stay. Inside the cave park, with beautiful facilities and great infrastructure. Best way to connect with nature and outdoors.
Super friendly staff and lots of activities to enjoy.
I stayed only 1 night but could have stayed the entire week!
Great property! Clean and tidy cabins. Our family of seven fit into the larger cabin really well. I loved that there wasn’t any WiFi or televisions. The trails near by were lovely. And I was honestly shocked at how close the cabin was to the historic entrance. Still really thankful for the short commute. Great place to stay!
This was exactly what we needed. Super convenient when traveling with kids and dogs. Lots of bed options for families with kids. Not fancy. It was a cabin but perfect for a stay in park.

A lot of work going on in the parking area. Not a lot of lights when arriving at night. The buildings are old but the rooms were large and clean.
The room was very clean and had a nice cold mini fridge. Bathroom was immaculate. Clean room overall with no weird smells. AC filters were very clean (I checked) and AC worked very well. Absolutely a great stay. Would come here again. Staff very kind and helpful. Breakfast buffet $15 and reasonable. Good food. Parking is ample. Very good location to the tours.
Convenient for visiting Mammoth Caves National Park.
Our little cabin was clean & comfortable. It was a short walk from the parking area.
Only slight opportunity was how loud the AC unit was for us. It would wake us up at night.
