This was perfect for us! The cabin was clean and comfortable! Having access to the lodge, dining and the visitors center was a big selling point. Not having WiFi and spotty internet was actually great for quieting our minds and slowing us down a bit. If you have kids, think about bringing some outdoor games and activities to stay busy. We used the dining options several times during our three night stay and everything was delicious and reasonably priced. We also enjoyed the quiet and darkness at night for star gazing!

Everything besides the room was great but the cabins are quite old -- probably vintage 1950s. But it was located in the heart of Mammoth Cave Natl Park so walking to the caves, restaurants and visitors center was effortless. Recommend it but don't think it's a Holiday Inn Express.

Definitely could use a few updates on building structures (holes under and in doors), sticky traps in bathroom. Reminiscent of a bunkhouse at an old church camp. All that aside, beds were SUPER comfortable, cabins were very clean, and staff was beyond helpful and super nice in every way.

A little outdated but very cute!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.

Loved being able to stay in the park. The woodland cabins were a perfect size for our family. Appreciated the lack of tech, made for a more rustic, national park visit. The AC in the woodland cabins was awesome and kept us 100% comfortable in late July heat wave temps. Bathroom setup is a smidge rustic but fits the vibe of the cabin. We really liked coming back after dinner and getting a firefly show each evening, plus the deer wandering near the visitor center and bats flying overhead. Only improvement requested is that the door to cabin 208 be repaired or replaced. It did not fully close on the bottom half and had significant gaps.

We loved the area, can't get much closer to the park then IN IT! A/c got super cold. We loved the secluded cabins. 2 rooms, a bed for everyone and separated bathroom was a plus for everyone getting ready all together. Watched the fireflies from our private porch! 'Roughing it' with the comforts of home.
