We loved staying inside the national park. It makes it so easy to go on the tour and visit the area. It’s an older hotel but met all our needs. The staff at check in and the restaurant were friendly and helpful.
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

We enjoyed staying on-site at the park. The accommodations were basic but certainly sufficient for our one night stay at the park. The rooms were a short drive away from the check in lodge. There are a couple of restaurants, a coffee shop, and a couple of gift shops at the lodge as well. Definitely recommend when going to this park.

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed in cottage 4 which was clean, cozy, and comfortable. It was a short walk to the restaurant where we enjoyed an excellent dinner and a hearty breakfast the next morning. The staff was friendly and helpful in both the restaurant and check in. We did the historic tour after breakfast and our guide was EXCELLENT. Overall, an incredibly enjoyable stay in a beautiful national park.

Only place to stay in Mammoth Cave. We stayed in the historic lodge cabin 1 bed. Good sized cabin for 2 people. but needs a little cosmetic update. Looked like a new toilet and updated shower, sink. Good amenities. The visitor center had a nice restaurant open for 3 meals a day if needed. Decent food very decent prices. No WiFi/cell service in the cabins. Only in the main lodge and visitor center

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!

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.
Verified review

6/10 Good

We were assigned one of the 10 smaller cottage houses. Very cute and quaint but definitely lacking amenities that some people might expect. It would be great if they had some low-level lighting for the walking path from the parking lot to the cottages. They had air-conditioners in the windows which helped to keep us cool. The bed was good...not terribly big though. The floor of the main living area was dirty...we noticed after having to wipe up a small mess. The bathroom was a bit run down and could have been updated a bit more. The location was great. We did a 4pm tour on our arrival night...and then we did an 11am tour on our departure day. Very nice not having to move our vehicle once we were parked and it was great when having to run over to Visitor Centre. I could not imagine having to find accommodations at Bowling Green or elsewhere.

10/10 Exceptional

We loved the Woodland Cabins at Mammoth Caves. Check-in was a breeze and the park staff were so friendly and helpful. The cabins were meticulously clean and the camp cluster was super quiet. The cabins are an easy walk to the visitor center for tours and a little bit further to the lodge for coffee (excellent coffee shop) and food/dining. The cabins are “rustic”: no TV, no microwave (we did have private bathroom and shower, a mini fridge & coffee maker) so please don’t expect a city hotel here. This is a place where you can play games and cards, talk to a friend, and read a book. We relaxed and enjoyed the quiet of nature. We’re so glad we chose to stay here. Great experience
