Really cute place and I liked the ambiance of the historic cottage. However some lights on the path would make it much safer to walk there at night
The tile work in the bathroom was amazing.

Close to the Mammoth Cave tours. The room was aged but very clean and staff were amazing. Food at the lodge was good, but a bit pricey. The breakfast options were very limited at the dine-in restaurant.

The room was nice and the staff was amazing, but pass on the "historic cottages" as they are a bit rough. The rangers who conducted the tours are well versed and quite knowledgeable about the caves and the park.

I really wish there wasn't construction going on at the time i was there. I mean, you got a cabin with no Tv/internet/phone to connect with nature but you have bob-cats running 9-5 even on a Saturday. Food options are not the best, breakfast buffet is what you'll expect for an inclusive stay. The other cafe is pretty basic (hot-dogs/pizza etc) prices are reasonable though...

We stayed in the Woodland cottages, which was right across from Mammoth Cave visitors Center parking lot - so the proximity was great - however trying to find parking on a weekend was hard. The cabin itself was exactly what you'd expect a cabin to be - no frill electronics, but did have a heater/ac...a mini fridge and coffee. I would stay again.

Room smelled very musty. Could use an update! Rusty knobs in bathroom, loose doorknob on outside door, had to have it just right to be able to turn the key to get in. Nice mini fridge & microwave. Bedding was ok, pillows were thick if you like that.
