Perfect option for our visit to Mammoth cave. Only negative was that the lighting for the path to the cottages was not working. The staff was very helpful and friendly.

How cool it was to stay in the National Park right across from the visitors center. Deer walking around while i was drinking my morning coffee outside in the provided chairs. Such a neat little cabin feel in the room with a split door . So many neat things about this stay that i really enjoyed.

Road Trip to Mammoth Caves

Great time at the lodge. It doesn't get any closer to the park than being a 2 minute walk to the Visitor's Center. Toilet could use an update but other than that, rooms have everything your need and are roomy. Would Definitely stay there again if visiting the park!

The room is little old and don’t have much storage and place to hang clothes or towels. There were some constructions near by that may cause some noise.

We visited Mammoth Cave and it was incredibly convenient to stay at the Lodge. The rooms are motel style not hotel style and the bathrooms are dated. But the rooms were very clean, the area is beautiful and the location is ideas for a visit to the caves.

Rooms were sufficient for a one night stay. Our only complaint was the hot water didn’t last very long for showers - maybe five minutes!

decent cabin, staff were really friendly and communicative. The parking was easy, though I wish it had been a bit easier to navigate in and out of the area I was staying in. Quite far from civilization so, if like me, you have food restrictions, make sure to buy food at a grocery store before coming here. Do not expect any kind of cooking facilities, which is noted on the website, but was not available for my room.
