Stayed in the cottages located across the parking lot from the Lodge. These are 1930s era individual cottages, look like they are old CCC project cabins. Very vintage, wood floors, old door and window hardware and they front right onto deep forest of the park. Quiet and deep green. I spent most of my day in the park just sitting out front of my cottage reading in the shade.
No tv or radio in the cottages but good hot water and AC.
I don't know if there was wifi because I always use phone for access. I was able to connect, a little slow but there was definitely signal.
Bed and bedding were quite nice.
Walking distance from the historical entrance to Mammoth cave and the visitors center for other tours of the cave complex.
The grill and bar restaurant was affordable and the food was good.
The deer on site are so use to people you can walk up to about 20 or 30 feet from them in the late afternoon.
I didn't go on any of the caving as I've done them several times before, but I always wanted to stay at the Lodge and the price was nicely reasonable. I usually try to stopover around the Bowling Green KY area on my way North or South and will probably try to stop here again given the opportunity.
Two small downsides on staying here; the front door on my cottage was sticky near the top and I had give it a good nudge to open it, and its a good walk from the parking lot to the cottages (guessing 1,000 ft.) and you can't drive closer so its a bit a of long drag for baggage.
