"Loved the room I had so much! Loved looking at all the decor! And the breakfast was so nice, and delicious! Our hosts were great! Would definitely stay again!"

The Lodge at Mammoth Cave

10/10 Excellent

"It was a very nice cottage."

Hampton Inn Cave City, KY

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent New Hotel — Great Stay! We had an excellent stay at the Hampton Inn in Cave City, KY. The hotel is brand new, and it really shows. Everything was exceptionally clean, well maintained, and in great condition. Our room was spacious, with a large, comfortable bedroom and a great king-size bed. The hallways are also noticeably wider and more spacious than many hotels, which gives the entire property a very open and comfortable feel. The breakfast was excellent, with a great selection of food and everything fresh and well prepared. It was a definite highlight of the stay. Overall, this is a very nice, well-kept hotel with friendly, comfortable accommodations. We had absolutely no issues during our stay and would definitely stay here again when we're in the Cave City area. Five stars all around! Highly recommended."

SureStay Hotel by Best Western Bowling Green North

8/10 Good

"My stay was fine although when I drove up I was concerned because the exterior looked like it had been ingnored, but walking inside the room was fine. My only complaint was that the bed wasn't very comfortable."

The Maple Retreat at Park Mammoth

10/10 Excellent

"Communication was proactive and showed a genuine concern for our comfort during our stay. There was an error in double booking on the property’s end and they made extra accommodations for us and went out of their way to make sure we were taken care of. The owner is a very kind person and reached out on a few occasions to ensure we had everything we needed. The cabin was beautiful, well maintained, and clean, and had great amenities for cooking. We enjoyed the brand new grill outside and also used the fire pit and enjoyed the local hiking trail. It is close to Mammoth Cave and we really enjoyed spending half the day at the park then relaxing at the cabin for the rest of the day. Highly recommend!!! (Side note - we are now at our next cabin destination of our road trip and we are missing the comfort and amenities at Maple Retreat!)"
