Check in took 30 minutes because only 1 staff was checking in and they were out doing some kind of maintenance at 6pm. We’re not informed of lack of internet access where we were staying. Peeling paint in the cabin.

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.

The cottages should have come with warnings about the state of living. I didn’t realize that rats/mice were a part of the amenity package. Had I known that, I would not have booked. I mentioned this at the front desk, and they just shook their head knowingly as if that were no surprise. I have two young children, and finding rat droppings all throughout the cottage was disgustingly - this included the beds. Well, some people might not have minded this, I would highly not recommend.

Great NPS staff. Lodging staff very nice and helpful. The 10 white cabins are basic, old lumpy beds, but everything for a short stay. Set expectations accordingly. We are at the onsite restaurant for dinner and again for lunch the next day. Outstanding and reasonable. Mammoth Cave tours, facilities, grounds and people are first class. Enjoy!!

We loved the Woodland Cottages for our family of 5! It was rustic, but had just enough modern conveniences to not feel super rustic - mini fridge, A/C (though the website says they don’t!), great towels, and some of the most comfortable beds we’ve ever slept in on vacation! The proximity to the visitor center made going on our tours very easy. We would definitely stay here again!

Highly recommend.

We have AT&T phone service, so we did get some service at the lodge, no Wi-Fi, and no television. It was actually perfect! The room was extremely clean, air conditioning worked really well, the water pressure was amazing and there was enough hot water for the three of us to all shower. One right after the other. The shampoo, conditioner, and body wash that they provide was actually really great. Absolutely would stay here again!

This was such a cute little cabin. Our 4yo kept calling the "wood house" and didn't want to leave. We loved how Close you are to the cave, it was great! 10/10

No way to cook unless you grilled out in another area. All you could do was buy charcoal for grilling outdoors. Needs at least a microwave. Also the buildings are being remodeled of sorts and there is a mess and things not fixed properly. Still it wasn't bad for the price.

We loved that we were able to drive from another state and be able to see the amazing Mammoth Cave and learn its history, have all the conveniences we could need and be able to stay on the grounds. Our cottage was comfortable, well stocked and within walking distance of everything. We really enjoyed our visit and stay there.

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.
