Top Hidden River Cave and American Cave Museum Hotel Reviews

The Lodge at Mammoth Cave

10/10 Excellent

"This was an excellent place to stay. Very quiet and close to the caves. Highly recommend this place to everyone traveling this area."

Peaceful 2-bedroom home near Mammoth Cave.

10/10 Excellent

"This house exceeded my expectations in nearly every way. If you are going to Mammoth Cave National Park and need a well kept, spacious, and affordable place to stay, this is it. The house has 2 bedrooms, one with a king bed and the other with a queen. It is ideal for two couples. It also has a large sectional with a couple of recliners built in where one or two could sleep if needed. The kitchen has all the normal amenities, and there were plenty of spare sheets, blankets, and towels. The WiFi was fast and there are three smart TV's with HDMI inputs if you need them. It's 15 minutes from the park visitors center and less than 10 from all the restaurants in Cave City. Truly, my only complaint was that I was hoping for better water pressure in the shower but it's regulated more like a hotel to save water. Not a huge deal in the total scope of things. I will absolutely stay here again if it is available next time I'm in the area."

Days Inn by Wyndham Cave City

10/10 Excellent

"Nice hotel"

Sleep Inn & Suites Cave City

8/10 Good

"Breakfast choices not good…"

Mammoth Pond - Mammoth Cave Family Retreat - Playground Sleeps 6

10/10 Excellent

"Our family had a fantastic stay! It was close to the caves and easy to get back and forth to Bowling Green for other fun. The communication was great with the host. My toddler loved the playground, my bigger kids ran and played in the backyard, and our entire family loved the fire pit. Thank you!"

Hampton Inn Cave City, KY

8/10 Good

"Staff was super nice and helpful , the room was nice, but the restroom had a sour smell, not good."

Grand Victorian Inn

10/10 Excellent

"My only complaint was the lack of early morning coffee! The Inn was old and quaint, but could have had a little more attention to detail with the cleanliness. It’s hard to keep a room full of antiques dust-free. But we expected a historic place to be a little rough around the edges. It wasn’t a big issue. I enjoyed walking around the property and relaxing on the porch. Great location for Mammoth National Park. Owners were kind and beds were cozy."

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Glasgow by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Our room was very clean with lots of space. The breakfast was amazing and it was very clean."

Bluegrass Bliss

8/10 Good

"The house was nice and very well situated to visit Kentucky Down Under and the caves in the area. I had to contact the host to ask about the door code because it had not been sent the morning of the day we were to arrive. In all fairness, we booked just several days prior and he did respond rapidly. Despite the banner line, there is a hidden fee - one has to either pay 59 for insurance or put down a 1500 deposit which will be returned at the owner's discretion. This seemed a bit excessive for 2 adults and a child who were staying for two nights."
