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.

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.

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

Staff was great and check in was easy. The cottages are very cute..but outdated! There were bugs flying into the room through the air vents. The bed felt comfy at first, but sagged towards my heavier partner. There was no microwave, and the mini fridge was very loud and made odd noises throughout the night. The toilet leaked a bit on our second night. Expect a very rustic feel in the National Park!

We stayed in the Sunset Terrace, which is an older building for sure but they have updated the rooms. The bathroom didn't have any flat surfaces to put anything on and I set my toiletry bag on a towel on the floor. Water was very hot, shower pressure was great. Bed had a crinkly mattress cover that we didn't love. But the room was spotless and I appreciate that very much!
