We stay at Mammoth Cave Park in November 2016. We had a cute quaint cabin near the main entrance I believe. We would like to visit again and would like info on reserving a cabin that is pet friendly.
Hi Bonnie,
You probably stayed at The Lodge at Mammoth Cave. It is located just outside of Mammoth Cave National Park and has hotel rooms and historic cabins to rent. For reservations call 844-760-2483 or you can make reservations on their website.
