Top Kentucky Down Under Adventure Zoo Hotel Reviews

Baymont by Wyndham Cave City

8/10 Good

"Room was spacious and fairly comfortable. Overall, it was fairly quiet and a good stay. The biggest drawback was our toilet tank apparently had a slow leak so whenever it would get low enough to "refill" it would be a high-pitched squeal. This was also after every time the toilet was used. So it woke us up several times during the night. It was better the second night when we slept with the door shut."

Bluegrass Bliss

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed only one night at this property for a family wedding in Smith’s Grove, but all of our needs were met. The home was very clean and check-in was simple. The beds were a little firmer than our preference, but having 4 beds for our family was an excellent perk. I would recommend Larry’s place!"

Sleep Inn & Suites Cave City

10/10 Excellent

"Wry comfortable room, overall very clean hotel, and a great location. Pool was small, but served its purpose. Breakfast had limited options, but again, served its purpose. Would highly recommend this hotel if you’re staying in Cave City."

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"

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."

Cozy Hot Tub Cabin Near Mammoth Cave - Perfect for Couples

10/10 Excellent

"My husband and I enjoyed our stay here. The kitchen had cookware & dishes plus a few spices & utensils. The hot tub was really nice and when the ferrys open, youre close to mammoth cave, but its a scenic drive when its closed."
