It was unseasonably warm during our stay, and the sunset terraces had more than adequate A/C that gave us a welcomed reprieve from the high temps.

Our stay was just 1 night. The Lodge is a great building with a great staff and tons of info and gift shops. The cabins are clean but a little rustic if you are used to hotel rooms. If you’re looking for a place to sleep and shower it’s just fine. The only place to get breakfast is the lodge restaurant which is only a buffet. We took the extended historical tour which would recommend.

My historic cottage was clean, and everything there was in working order. The only surprise was the lack of a TV; bring reading material or you will spend quite a bit of time in the Lodge, the only source of internet. The Ranger who led the cave tour was quite funny and informative.

It's like an old style motel. Room was clean. Beds comfortable. The bathroom was old and dated but functional. The location is perfect within the park with a short walk to the visitor center and tours. Food at the diner was good

Fantastic location, comfortable, quiet room. Great for families. Nice lodge and breakfast options. Also had lunch anddinner available and everything was open Easter morning, which was great. Easy parking. Internet conncection is spotty and may be carrier dependent since the location is remote. We had AT&T at the time. We traveled in April and so didn't use the air conditioning. Only negative was that the water pressure in the shower was set way too high and would flood the bathroom floor everytime we used it (we were in an ADA room, so no tub)

Great property! Clean and tidy cabins. Our family of seven fit into the larger cabin really well. I loved that there wasn’t any WiFi or televisions. The trails near by were lovely. And I was honestly shocked at how close the cabin was to the historic entrance. Still really thankful for the short commute. Great place to stay!
