Great lodge to stay overnight

It’s super convenient to stay overnight next to the visitor center after 10 plus hour driving. It’s clean, quiet and decently comfortable for a lodge. We see deer at the parking lot which delighted my daughter. Next morning we had breakfast at the lodge and ready for the cave tour!

Historic Cottage at Mammoth Caves

Cool historic cottage at the Visitor Center to Mammoth Caves. All was great except the very loud A/C unit that went on/off all night.

It is a very tranquil area. So many deer and squirrels. Fun fire flies buzzing around at night, minutes from visitors center. The cabin is small, but it has everything you need. loved our stay.

Loved it

The cabin was nice but historic so you have to remember they are old. Also it is a National Park so limited. No internet or tv in the room. The area was beautiful and the cave tours were amazing.
