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.

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.

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.

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!
