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."

Patrick's Place farm w/animals near Mammoth Cave

10/10 Excellent

"I enjoyed my stay at this spotless, easy-to-find and pretty cabin! It looked brand new, with everything functioning well and with really good lighting. My dogs and I walked over to the barn and got to meet the friendliest horses, cows, and a couple of farm dogs! The cabin was spotless and well-appointed. The kitchen had lots of cookware and there was even a washer and dryer! Best of all, the hostess was very welcoming and responded right away to my questions. I felt very safe there as a single traveler. And it’s close enough to town and grocers for meals. We hope to return someday!"
