Highly recommend.

We have AT&T phone service, so we did get some service at the lodge, no Wi-Fi, and no television. It was actually perfect! The room was extremely clean, air conditioning worked really well, the water pressure was amazing and there was enough hot water for the three of us to all shower. One right after the other. The shampoo, conditioner, and body wash that they provide was actually really great. Absolutely would stay here again!

No way to cook unless you grilled out in another area. All you could do was buy charcoal for grilling outdoors. Needs at least a microwave. Also the buildings are being remodeled of sorts and there is a mess and things not fixed properly. Still it wasn't bad for the price.

We loved that we were able to drive from another state and be able to see the amazing Mammoth Cave and learn its history, have all the conveniences we could need and be able to stay on the grounds. Our cottage was comfortable, well stocked and within walking distance of everything. We really enjoyed our visit and stay there.

A little run down but great location

Room door wouldn’t open. Had to get a new room. It was a down grade. The shower flooded the hotel room. The beds were so unsupportive and made noises.

Mammoth Caves gems.

Built in about 1932 these old cabins are incredible for space, cleanliness, wood floors (no filthy carpeting) comfort and service. Be prepared for no tv no internet just time to listen and talk. Walk across the parking lot to catch your cave tours or go for hikes right outside your door or go walk to dinner at the lodge. Air conditioning via brand new mini splits.

Stayed in the cottages located across the parking lot from the Lodge. These are 1930s era individual cottages, look like they are old CCC project cabins. Very vintage, wood floors, old door and window hardware and they front right onto deep forest of the park. Quiet and deep green. I spent most of my day in the park just sitting out front of my cottage reading in the shade. No tv or radio in the cottages but good hot water and AC. I don't know if there was wifi because I always use phone for access. I was able to connect, a little slow but there was definitely signal. Bed and bedding were quite nice. Walking distance from the historical entrance to Mammoth cave and the visitors center for other tours of the cave complex. The grill and bar restaurant was affordable and the food was good. The deer on site are so use to people you can walk up to about 20 or 30 feet from them in the late afternoon. I didn't go on any of the caving as I've done them several times before, but I always wanted to stay at the Lodge and the price was nicely reasonable. I usually try to stopover around the Bowling Green KY area on my way North or South and will probably try to stop here again given the opportunity. Two small downsides on staying here; the front door on my cottage was sticky near the top and I had give it a good nudge to open it, and its a good walk from the parking lot to the cottages (guessing 1,000 ft.) and you can't drive closer so its a bit a of long drag for baggage.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
The overall property was ok, internet access was spotty, food options were just ok. The staff was not very friendly at the restaurants or in the shops. The food took forever to come out. The air conditioning was out in the lodge so eating at the restaurants was quite uncomfortable in mid-summer. Parking was a nightmare at the visitor center the following morning and then the lodge parking also filled up after we left our initial spot, so drove around for quite a while, waiting for parking. I have stayed at other national parks on site before so I was expecting a much better experience, but judging from the outskirts of the town, this was the best option.
