Nice park, easy to walk, cabins are very close to the cave. But if you are staying with children, they don’t have any activities for them to do. Like a playground, campfires, movies or anything that could entertain them in the evening

Adorable little cottage 2-3 minutes walk from the main lodge and from the visitor center where tours start. Bed was super comfy, space was very clean, heater worked great. Lovely to walk outside to face the forest and hear the birds.

Cool motel and great location!

We were there for a 2 night family trip. The motel was really conveniently located right near the Visitor Center. I imagine it has not changed much in the past 50 years, aside from upkeep. It has a really cool retro vibe and the rooms are spacious. There are hiking trails all around the property and beautiful views. We loved it and would absolutely stay here again!
