The room was nice and the staff was amazing, but pass on the "historic cottages" as they are a bit rough. The rangers who conducted the tours are well versed and quite knowledgeable about the caves and the park.

Very nice for a historic cabin. Would have been nice to have a microwave to accompany the fridge and coffee pot. Also, were awaken several times in the night to the scurrying of small critters. Didn’t appear to get into our stuff, and we didn’t see them, so maybe they were in the walls?

Although it’s an older facility, it was a nice stay… quiet, close to the restaurant and visitor center and cave tours. Food at the restaurant was good and very reasonably priced for a national park facility.

We stayed in the Sunset Terrace, which is an older building for sure but they have updated the rooms. The bathroom didn't have any flat surfaces to put anything on and I set my toiletry bag on a towel on the floor. Water was very hot, shower pressure was great. Bed had a crinkly mattress cover that we didn't love. But the room was spotless and I appreciate that very much!

Fantastic!
This was a fantastic stay! You have your own space, it’s walking distance to the tours, and it’s extremely peaceful. It had a full bathroom and fridge which was very convenient as well. We’d highly recommend this stay!
