Couldn’t adjust temp. We wanted less AC. There were just skimpy blankets so the cold (in June) was uncomfortable.

Nice park, easy to walk, cabins are very close to the cave. But if you are staying with children, they don’t have any activities for them to do. Like a playground, campfires, movies or anything that could entertain them in the evening

Great staff at front desk and restaurant. The cabin #10 had a midnight visitor in the form of something chewing on the bungalow. They kept it up all night. Otherwise good stay.

Great area, beautiful grounds!

The lobby is very nice. Great gift shops and a Starbucks. We rented a historical cabin that was quaint and cute. The cabins are positioned a long long way from the parking lot. We had 2 large coolers with no wheels so it was quit a workout getting out things to the cabin. The main restaurant had just okay food and just okay service. The constant banging of the kitchen door closing was extremely annoying. One male server said there is nothing they can do about that after I sugged the closer be adjusted to slow the door. I usually don't get bothered by noises but man every 10 to 15 sec bang, bang, The caves were awesome as well as the hiking. Highly recommend staying here. Had a great time.

Pros: The historic cottage was safe, quiet, and conveniently located near the visitors station, so it was super convenient to check in for our cave tour. Cons: There is no close parking to your cottage though, so if you’re not a light packer it’s a bit of a haul to bring your suitcase in. The AC unit also didn’t really help in our cottage - it was super muggy the entire time. The bathroom needed some maintenance (the toilet rocked every time you sat on it). And the lawn chairs out front were cracked and broken.

My stay was comfortable and clean. I stayed in one of the historic cabins. You cannot park your car close to the cabin, so you do have to walk with your things that you are bringing inside quite a distance. Not a problem for me, but just a heads up for people with mobility issues.
