Wonderful

Had to wait 30 mins to be checked in. Even though we arrived at 5pm. The person working the front desk was nowhere to be found and none of the other 4 people there could/would check us in. The room had paint peeling off the walls and the door had gaps around it so air blew in from outside. Older fixtures and bed wasn’t comfortable. Customer service was nonexistent. But I guess that’s what you get at a state park?
The staff is really friendly, but the cottage we stayed in was in poor condition. Dirty windows, spider webs and dead bugs, dirty floor, everything wa

Room was partially updated, beds/linens/towels were nice, lights updated, bathroom partially updated. Shower head was so clogged that it barely functioned.The carpet was so musty/mold smelling and was damp. The Wi-Fi worked well after the second day when they reset the router

This is about as rustic as it gets aside from camping! Cabin was spotless, less the few lady bugs that joined us. There are cracks around the doors, so there’s no true way to keep bugs out. But you cannot beat the location!!! Just steps away from the visitor center. We felt like we were sleeping above the cave. Dining on site was decent, so there’s really no need to leave once there. My family and I had a blast in these tiny cottages! It was nice to break away from TV’s, cell phone service and WiFi for a while! If you don’t mind rustic then definitely give it a try!!
I just loved the family cabins!! Great concept with the bedrooms on each side of the toilet and shower. They are older cabins that have been kept up well. The bed was very comfortable. Would only recommend a towel hanger by each of the sinks in the bedrooms. Only down side was the weather, rain and flooding. Left a day early but plan on a return visit!
We had a wonderful stay in our cabin at Mammoth Cave. It was adequate accommodations for a short weekend at the National Park. The only issue we had was the heater in our cabin. I thought maybe it was just an AC unit, and never said anything to staff. However, upon check-out, I clarified with the desk and it was a heater as well. I’m sure if I had brought it up before checkout someone would have fixed it for us. We just had some chilly mornings! :)
Such a beautiful place to stay in a fun rustic cabin. Already booked another trip

“Glamping” with the Ladybugs
We stayed in one of the historic cottages. It had a particular rustic charm to it with a spacious room, no TV, hard wood floors and a comfy bed. It was quiet and peaceful. It also was the time of year when the bugs are waking up so we had dozens and dozens of ladybugs in our room. If they had been any other bug I would have complained but it was a dark stormy night and the lights on the path to the main lodge were out so we just learned to appreciate each other.

Great location
This is an historic cottage so I wasn't sure how luxurious it would be...it wasn't. However, the bed was comfortable and the room more than adequate. We were a short walk to the Mammoth Cave visitor center so that was perfect.
Wonderful motel-style room at the Lodge at Mammoth Cave. Clean rooms complete with microwave mini fridge and coffeemaker. Walking distance to Mammoth Cave tours and Green River restaurant. Dark at night with birdsong in the morning. Friendly staff. Highly recommended!
The Woodlands Cabins where we stayed which are part of The Lodge at Mammoth Cave are conveniently located across from the Mammoth Cave visitors center. They are rustic little cabins which we did not mind. The gentlemen at the front desk was very friendly and helpful. The grounds are beautiful, close to many hiking trails and deer roam the property. Overall a very nice stay with our grandchildren.

Nice two bedroom cabin probably built in the 1940s. Some modern upgrades like A/C. No TVs in the room. This is a cabin, not a hotel, it’s a cool experience for a night or so. I don’t think I would stay any longer than that as we didn’t have sufficient hot water for showers. It’s very convenient to the visitor center and hiking trails. Overall I recommend it’s a cool experience and the kids liked it.
Be careful driving there- deer are everywhere (at least they were in November!). You’re going to want to get there before check-in time ends if possible. I was there just before a closed and it didn’t get the email. They sent me with the information until much later. The rooms were nice. We did get to see wildlife outside our bedroom window, which was pretty cool. It’s a great location because you can just walk to the caves (be sure to reserve your tickets before trying to enter a cave) and hiking trail trails or catch the bus. The staff at the restaurant on property were friendly and helpful.
