"This property was so peaceful, serene and relaxing. Very clean, with the easiest check in / check out process ive ever experienced. Kristen was a super communicative host & went above and beyond to keep the A Frame Cabin & bathrooms stocked with everything a person could need or want. Staying on her farm was so fun - the farm animals were hilarious and very friendly. The visitor center entrance was about 40 minutes away because the ferry was not running at all during our stay, but that was ok! Hope to be back again!"

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Mammoth Cave?

The landscape above ground is lush and green, and wildflowers begin to bloom. This period is particularly good for families as the weather is mild enough for children to enjoy exploring without getting too hot.Autumn also provides excellent weather with temperatures similar to spring, though perhaps a bit cooler towards the end of October.
