The room was very clean and had a nice cold mini fridge. Bathroom was immaculate. Clean room overall with no weird smells. AC filters were very clean (I checked) and AC worked very well. Absolutely a great stay. Would come here again. Staff very kind and helpful. Breakfast buffet $15 and reasonable. Good food. Parking is ample. Very good location to the tours.

Convenient for visiting Mammoth Caves National Park. Our little cabin was clean & comfortable. It was a short walk from the parking area. Only slight opportunity was how loud the AC unit was for us. It would wake us up at night.

The cottage was very nostalgic . Just what they said they would be. Although the floor needed a good cleaning. Definitely showed some age but it does appear they are working on up grades. The beds were comfy and it was convenient to the caves!

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.

We stayed in a cabin. It looked a bit old from outside but it was nice inside. No TV, microwave and hair dryer. The front door was warped and rain came in from the gap. Toilet was leaking at the base when flushed. The floor behind the toilet bowl was dark and probably rotten. We told the lodge about these problems so hopefully they will fix them. Luckily no more rain after the first day, we had comfortable stay for a few days. No wifi, but you can get some cell signal. I could text and post pics without issues. Around cabin has chairs you can relax and watch birds, lizards, turkey, squirrels. Close to Cave city for eating out. I didn’t see that many bugs which usually issues in cabin. Beds are very comfortable. AC works really well. Very nice place to stay. We wish there are more things to do other than cave tours. Cave boat tour is in Bowling Green.

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!
