It’s steps away from the Mammoth Caves NP visitor center, which is fantastic! We got a room in the Sunset Terrace - the size was good, but very dated, specially the bathroom. Lots of food options at the Lodge, and the major trailheads are either walkable or really short drive.

Clean and comfortable stay. Do be aware there is no TV or internet. This is a good place to disconnect from media for a little while. The Lodge has good food options and shopping.

Therehas been some work done so the yards around the cabins are all torn up and not safe. They seem to be more focused on the new expensive cabins by the lodge than anything else.

The cabin at Mammoth Cave

Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Cabin was clean and cozy. There is a short walk from the parking lot to the cabins. The onsite restaurant was convenient and the food is good.

A little outdated but very cute!

I loved the small cottages at the national park! These are cute, and have separate bedrooms with doors, bathroom and shower in between them. The only issue we had was the condition of the cottages, they are very out dated. A little paint and newer linens would go a long way to preserve these. The stars at night are amazing and the cave tours are just across the street. There are trails all around the visitors center, lots of wildlife as well.

Our stay was a relaxing getaway. A natural, beautiful setting. The only thing that surprised us was that the 'rooms' were in reality individual cabins. It was a refreshing element. Getting away from technology for periods in the day was much needed. The lodge was beautiful inside and out and the prices at the restaurant were surprisingly reasonable.

A little run down but great location

Room door wouldn’t open. Had to get a new room. It was a down grade. The shower flooded the hotel room. The beds were so unsupportive and made noises.
