You can't beat this for convenience since you're right in the center of the park and very near the visitor center and lodge restaurants. However, the condition of the cabin left a little to be desired, with peeling paint and questionable alignment of the door lock. It should also be noted that parking was a short walk away. But all things considered, we would stay here again.

Although, we stayed in the older property, the bed was comfortable and we appreciated having a small refrigerator and a coffee maker. The room was clean, but the bathroom needed some remodeling.

Simple and friendly

Rustic and lovely. Cell service is very spotty. Not a problem if you stay at the lodge but it causes problems if you venture into one of the nearby towns for meals (their onsite restaurant is not very good.) or if you’re planning on hiking the back country.

Therehas been some work done so the yards around the cabins are all torn up and not safe. They seem to be more focused on the new expensive cabins by the lodge than anything else.

Check in took 30 minutes because only 1 staff was checking in and they were out doing some kind of maintenance at 6pm. We’re not informed of lack of internet access where we were staying. Peeling paint in the cabin.

It’s steps away from the Mammoth Caves NP visitor center, which is fantastic! We got a room in the Sunset Terrace - the size was good, but very dated, specially the bathroom. Lots of food options at the Lodge, and the major trailheads are either walkable or really short drive.

The cottages should have come with warnings about the state of living. I didn’t realize that rats/mice were a part of the amenity package. Had I known that, I would not have booked. I mentioned this at the front desk, and they just shook their head knowingly as if that were no surprise. I have two young children, and finding rat droppings all throughout the cottage was disgustingly - this included the beds. Well, some people might not have minded this, I would highly not recommend.

Great NPS staff. Lodging staff very nice and helpful. The 10 white cabins are basic, old lumpy beds, but everything for a short stay. Set expectations accordingly. We are at the onsite restaurant for dinner and again for lunch the next day. Outstanding and reasonable. Mammoth Cave tours, facilities, grounds and people are first class. Enjoy!!

We loved the Woodland Cottages for our family of 5! It was rustic, but had just enough modern conveniences to not feel super rustic - mini fridge, A/C (though the website says they don’t!), great towels, and some of the most comfortable beds we’ve ever slept in on vacation! The proximity to the visitor center made going on our tours very easy. We would definitely stay here again!
