We came out of a cave tour and ended up eating at their food stand. We ordered the veggie burger and it was very good. The service was fast and on point.

Very quiet & comfortable room. Very friendly & helpful staff. We have a fridge, toiletries, drip coffee pot, a/c, WiFi, phone & a t-v with a few channels. Convenient room in the lodge, steps to the footbridge to the caves. Grill & cafe are in the lodge with parking in front. This isn't for someone that doesn't like spiders or bugs. This is a national park & we saw big bugs & cute deer. WiFi isn't the best here.

2.5 Our room was comfortable and clean. We could have use more surface space. Windows on both side of the room, the back facing the woods. The restaurant hours were limited. Food in general bland and no variety. The only true vegetable was a side sales. So I order the catfish grilled, not breaded fry, with two side salads, to make a big bowl, two night in a row. The ice cream we had the first night was phenomenal, black berry cobbler ice cream. Super yummy with chunks of cobbler. Service was simple, at times the servers were nice, they looked tired and like they wanted to go home every evening

The historic cottages don't look like much from the outside, but the one I got had been redone fairly recently. Compact but clean and fresh on the inside. No microwave, TV or WiFi. There was a mini fridge and a coffee maker. Can't beat the location. Also, no shared walls. That's always nice.Be aware, you may encounter wild turkeys.

We stayed in one of the few rooms available in the Lodge itself, so the location was great. Close to the caves and visitor center, plenty of trails nearby, by the restaurant. The employees were friendly and got us checked in efficiently and there were random dogs coming in to the entrance and that's always great.The room itself was perfectly big enough for three with two large beds. The sheets were nice, the pillows were plush, the bathroom was decently sized. The beds weren't super soft but not horrible. But we did notice that the pillows, especially, had random stains on them, like spilled soda or something, which raised the question of if the sheets were washed at all or if the pillows were just flipped over for the next people. Not entirely reassuring.

I loved being able to stay at the Lodge at Mammoth Cave because the ambiance is interesting and the food tasted delicious and it was so convenient for our morning tour.The room was big enough and was quite clean. The price at $145 was a standard rate for us. However. The big problem was that when whoever cleaned the room they used something with a very obnoxious odor. This was hard to get over. We all had A reaction to it. The beds seemed real old and sagging. The blow dryer did not work.I wouldn't recommend it to my friends. However, the people were all as nice as they could be.

Wifey and I stayed in one of their "Cabins".It was what you might expect. But for $93.00/night we got a terrible mattress, incredibly small room, no micro wave but it did have a small refrigerator. Tooo small bathroom with a shower that did not hold the drain cover which kept rolling and sliding on the shower floor.Very Drafty doors.They did supply our small room with large traps for the "Kentucky wood mice" as they are referred to. The window covering provide no privacy. Yes, I know it's a cabin, but for $93? SHAME ON THEM!

The cottages were cute and exactly what we expected. Great space for what we needed for the night. There's no TV, but we were good with that. Excellent prices too. I suggest staying here if exploring the caves at Mammoth Cave!

This is a great getaway for a family or a group of friends. Just think of going back 5-10 yrs ago when cabins had no television or fancy amenities but just what you needed to get through a weekend. The cabin my friends and I stayed in was a two bedroom, one bathroom and each room with its own sink. Located directly on Mammoth Caves Property, this is a perfect place to come and escape from the technological world and enjoy simple things like seeing the stars. One con I can think of, is the lack of fire pits per cabin. They are all located in one big area with a total of about 4-5. The outside of the cabin could definitely use some TLC, but it should not deter you from coming to enjoy the mammoth cave sites. Overall, good stay I enjoyed myself as did my friends. Definitely keep in mind of outdoor temperature, the rooms are not regulated and it can get a little toasty during the warmer months.

I suppose I should review both the hotel and the restaurant separately, but they're linked together here. First, the hotel. We stayed in one of the Sunset Terrace Rooms, which had lovely views but were pretty old fashioned and musty inside. I know that the National Park Service doesn't have a terrific reputation for lodging, but this place was generally clean and functional. The repair guy (who had to fix our toilet twice because it wouldn't stop running) was prompt and sweet, and the cleaning ladies were super-nice about having to clean up an entire pot of cold coffee my two-year-old spilled on the carpeting. (We left them a nice tip, of course.)There were very few outlets for charging phones, ipads, computers, etc. There was not a hairdryer, which was mildly devastating for my mother-in-law. The beds were acceptably comfortable and reasonably clean. The three stars I am giving are for the location, which was perfect for all of our cave tours and hikes. Now, on to the meals. We only ate at the Travertine Restaurant, located in the hotel right across from the Visitor's Center. Generally we had good luck with the food there. The black cherry preserves and biscuits were fluffy and the best part of every breakfast and dinner. The food was acceptable and fairly reasonable for a sit-down place. The one steak I had there was pretty tough and not well cooked. I think the breakfasts were far better than the lunches or dinners, though those were decent.There are really neat photographs of the cave and its history inside the restaurant, and due to the horrible (may I repeat: HORRIBLE) food available in Cave City, we ended up eating every meal but one at the Travertine. The servers were kind, considering we brought our two very active boys (2 and 4) into their restaurant FIVE times in three days. I don't recommend any other option if you want to see the cave. Location is everything, and this hotel and restaurant are worth it just because of the location.
