Top Kentucky Down Under Adventure Zoo Hotel Reviews

The Lodge at Mammoth Cave

8/10 Good

"The carpet and bathroom need updating but the room was very comfortable and quiet."

Grand Victorian Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Gary & Karin were the perfect host. The house is amazing with lots of character and great Victorian decor. Enjoyed our stay so much that we plan to make this a regular stop on our antique picking trips a few times a year. Thanks for your hospitality."

Bluegrass Bliss

10/10 Excellent

"What a lovely place to stay close to Cave City! We had a great time relaxing by the fire pit after a long day of exploring nearby attractions."

Mammoth Pond - Mammoth Cave Family Retreat - Playground Sleeps 6

10/10 Excellent

"Location was perfect for our stay near Mammoth Cave. Much better than having to go a hotel. Everything we needed."

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."

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."

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."

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."
