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.

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.

We stayed in one of the historic cottages at the park. The room was very nice and comfortable. Only issue was the size of the bed. Website stated the room had a queen bed, but at best, this was actually a full. Staff was very friendly and professional. We appreciated the restaurants onsite at the lodge, so no real need to leave the park for anything. The camp store in the park was well stocked, a bit overpriced, but that was expected. I would highly recommend staying at the park and would definitely recommend reservations if planning to do any of the cave tours.

Pretty isolated location, but that is to be expected. Reataurant has food that is pretty limited. Expect cheap diner food. Nice wine selection, though. No extra blankets!

Stayed in the Cottages. Absolutely no phone or internet service in the Cottages. Shower is super small. Cottage is very "rustic" meaning there is light coming through the cracks, Bugs get in.But the plus side is the main building has places to eat . A Starbucks. And the Mammoth Cave National forest building is on site. Up the toad is a laundry.

The woodland cottages were perfect for our stay. Everything was clean. There is no microwave or cooking gear of any kind in the cabin so be prepared for sandwiches, or there are grills less than a 5 min walk away. 10/10
