The cabin was rustic. There were large holes in walls and around doors so cold air was constantly blowing in. We enjoyed the beds being in two separate rooms each with its own heat control and thermostat. However, cabin had rodent droppings and roaches. We didnt hear or see mice, but the cabin had only been surface cleaned, not swept or dusted in a long time. The Japanese beetles were also everywhere.

Staff was very courteous, friendly, and helpful. The 'rustic cabins' are only OK. The first one we had (112/113) was pretty run down and absolutely overrun with bugs. We requested to be moved, and the 206/207 cabin was nicer, newer, and cleaner. If you have loud neighbors you will know it - some drunken idiots kept us up for a while the first night. Recommend not staying in these cabins if you're at Mammoth Cave - perhaps the rooms up at the lodge proper are more comfortable for a family.

Great hiking! terrific service in spite of the shut down and limitations. We appreciated everyone’s good humor and hard work. Only con - the bed in Historic cabin 1 is so old and soft it was a terrible sleep.

Many trails around the property were closed due to construction which was not mentioned on the website. Sunset Terrace rooms are outdated but convenient. Beds are comfortable. Area claimed to be an International Dark Sky Park but there was way too much ambient lighting around sidewalks and street lamps and parking lot lights.

You can't beat this for convenience since you're right in the center of the park and very near the visitor center and lodge restaurants. However, the condition of the cabin left a little to be desired, with peeling paint and questionable alignment of the door lock. It should also be noted that parking was a short walk away. But all things considered, we would stay here again.

Simple and friendly

Rustic and lovely. Cell service is very spotty. Not a problem if you stay at the lodge but it causes problems if you venture into one of the nearby towns for meals (their onsite restaurant is not very good.) or if you’re planning on hiking the back country.
