Although it’s an older facility, it was a nice stay… quiet, close to the restaurant and visitor center and cave tours. Food at the restaurant was good and very reasonably priced for a national park facility.

We greatly enjoyed our stay in the family cabins. We just stopped in for the night on our way home to Ohio from Louisiana. The dining option was very nice that it was located right on the Property. Thank You for everything! Next time we will stay longer:)

Arrived at 1 AM and the heat did not work in the cabin. There was no one to call and it was about 40° in the cabin all night. Complained about it and nothing has come from that.

Reasonable for the Price, Superior Access to Park

Pretty reasonable accommodations, especially for the price. We were surprised that there was no TV in the room, and the room security left some to be desired (the window locks didn't work). Also you are in a cabin, so there may be a little nature in the room (we had some bugs, but nothing crazy - some ladybugs, a leaf bug, and a couple ants).

Charming and Comfortable Stay Inside the Park

My husband and I stayed one night at the lodge in Mammoth Cave, and it was a wonderful experience—especially since it was my first time staying overnight in a national park. The accommodations are rustic but very comfortable. Our cottage had a private bathroom, a table and chair, a small refrigerator, and coffee-making supplies (perfect for a quiet morning), though there was no microwave. The air conditioning worked well, which was great after a warm day of exploring. While breakfast isn't included, there's a restaurant on-site as well as a Starbucks, so food and coffee are easy to come by. The cottages are conveniently located close to the Visitor Center, making it easy to access tours and trails. One of the highlights was seeing deer in the parking lot when it was quiet—such a peaceful moment. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would absolutely recommend it to anyone wanting to immerse themselves in the park experience without sacrificing comfort.

We stayed in the Historic cabins. Very cute and clean. Great location to hikes and close to visitors center. The only thing that was negative was that the door to the cabin needed better sealing. I put paper in the space where the light came through. Once that gets sealed better, I would give this a 10/10. Very convenient and fun to stay in the national park.

It was larger than expected . Nice the way it was set up with a toilet and shower in the middle . Both bedrooms had small wash sinks. There IS heat and air conditioning . We brought our own tv and dvd player which we put on the shelf in one bedroom . Only one room had a fridge, but that was fine. Only complaint is that we could have used a small card table .

Adorable little cottage 2-3 minutes walk from the main lodge and from the visitor center where tours start. Bed was super comfy, space was very clean, heater worked great. Lovely to walk outside to face the forest and hear the birds.
