I recently stayed at this campground after booking Tent Site #6 with power hookup, and my…read moreexperience was extremely disappointing due to multiple service failures, safety concerns, and unprofessional communication. 1. Incorrect Check‑In Instructions The self‑check‑in directions provided were inaccurate. The instructions stated to "turn right toward the barn", but the correct route required an immediate left. After a long drive, unclear directions created unnecessary confusion and delay. 2. Power Hookup Failure & Safety Concerns After setting up my tent at 7:24 PM, I discovered that none of the four outlets were functioning. When I called for assistance, I was repeatedly told to "press the reset button," despite explaining that the outlet was not a GFCI, which is a safety requirement under Tennessee electrical standards. This was not only unhelpful--it was unsafe. 3. Lack of Communication & Delayed Support Between 7:24 PM and 9:15 PM, I made multiple calls for updates: 8:25 PM - Called again because no one followed up. 9:00 PM - Walked to the office; no staff present. Calls went to voicemail, even when selecting the Urgent option. 9:15 PM - Finally informed that no technician was available until the next morning. At no point was I proactively updated, and no immediate solution was offered until I insisted. 4. Poorly Communicated Alternative Accommodation Only after pressing for a resolution was I offered a cabin. The instructions given were simply: "It's the cabin with the red roof and red deck. You can find it on the campsite." I explained multiple times that I was facing Highway 109 and needed clear directions. Instead of providing assistance, the staff member repeatedly said, "You can easily find it, it's the only one with a red roof." After a 10‑hour drive, breaking down my tent in the dark, and navigating a nearly pitch‑black campground, this vague guidance was unacceptable. A basic courtesy would have been for a staff member to meet me, use a flashlight, or at least point me in the correct direction. Instead, I was left to wander the property alone until another camper kindly helped me locate the cabin. To add to the disappointment, the "farm" itself was poorly maintained. The gazebo area was covered in bird droppings, and the netting above it was improperly secured, trapping several birds -- some alive, some dead. The overall environment did not resemble a well‑kept campground. A long‑term guest named Tom allowed his husky to roam off‑leash. At one point, the dog nearly urinated on my tent. He also did not pick up after his dog. The bathroom facilities were equally substandard. There was only one toilet booth and one shower booth for the entire area, both built with noticeably poor workmanship. I have never encountered a campground with such limited and inadequate restroom facilities. 5. No Support During Checkout At 10:14 PM, I called again for checkout guidance and was hung up on. My follow‑up voicemail was never returned. I checked out at 4:00 AM, left the key inside, and locked the door without any staff interaction. 6. Unprofessional Call the Next Day The following afternoon at 3:42 PM, I received a call asking whether I had checked out and how they were supposed to access the cabin without the key. This made it clear that no one had listened to the voicemail I left the night before, where I explained exactly how I checked out and where I left the key. The staff member then made an issue out of not having a spare key -- which raises concerns about their preparedness if a guest ever loses one. When I explained again that I had left a voicemail and followed reasonable checkout steps, she responded rudely, saying: "We upgraded you to a cabin and I hope you are happy being a rude guest," and then hung up on me. This level of unprofessionalism is unacceptable in any hospitality setting.

We especially enjoyed good, hot coffee in the mornings. The environment, though, was not as shown in the photos. The house is extremely cluttered and somewhat strange, with collections of items displayed virtually everywhere. The furnishings are a bit shabby, but generally clean. Breakfast was sub-par. Fruit was good, but pancakes and pre-fab waffles, unappetizing sausage, and some kind of baked oats mush was just not appealing. The owners are very nice and accommodating, but we would not choose to stay here again. It is the closest to the cave, though, so worth considering for that.

My boyfriend and I were traveling to Brownsville to pick up a car. We had no idea where we're going…read moreto stay and only found this place 20 minutes before our arrival. When we pulled up, the owner was on the porch welcoming us into their home. The dinner was finishing on the stove, and the house smelled wonderful. The owners were very welcoming; I felt more like a family member who needed somewhere to sleep while in town than a guest. We chose the most significant room with the best bathroom ever. The owners had a mini-fridge in the place with complimentary drinks. They had wine for purchase, but we had brought our own. I like how the owners didn't mind us bringing our own. They have a beautiful fire pit in the back of the house. The owners offered to light one for us, but we were just too tired to enjoy it. We did, however, appreciate the bed; it was the most beautiful bed I have ever slept in. The linens were like what a penthouse suite would have. It was incredible after a long drive. We had forgotten everything at home, shampoo, soap, toothbrushes, and toothpaste. I had no razor, and I was not looking forward to sleeping without brushing and shaving. However, to my great surprise, ALL THOSE THINGS WERE THERE! I was so shocked and relieved. The next morning we got a knock on the door for breakfast. The most fantastic meal was on the table from the freshly cut strawberries to the homemade omelet. I felt again like a family member coming to visit. We walked around the property, and it was beautiful! Every one of the birdhouses had baby birds in them. The porch sits among a picturesque front garden. The little details all around show a lot of love is invested there. We had to leave that morning, and I felt like again, my family was sad. I had to go and want us to come back.

The breakfast was great, the inn keeper very hospitable. Rooms were comfortable and what were expected in an old hotel. Not recommended for old people who can't haul a suitcase upstairs - all rooms on second floor. The railroad tracks are 20 feet outside the front of the property and they do blow their horns early in the morning but it adds to the ambiance. We sat on the front porch until dark talking about our visit to the Shaker Museum. Too bad there isn't any Shakers left in Kentucky - they didn't believe in having sex so without offspring they simply died off and that was the end of them and their religion.

Ours was compact but had all the necessaries. The room was comfortable. Like the rest of the inn it had old books and other antiques. The bed had a hand stitched quilt. It was comfortable. The light from the street lamps outside was bright so the room was not dark. I do not know what the rooms on the back were like. The television though small got over 100 channels. The train passed by 2 - 3 times a night so I was glad I had earplugs to help. Breakfast was not included and was $10 per person. It was served family style. Scrambled eggs, waffles and bacon served with juice and coffee. They are located off the Mammoth Cave Railroad trail and within 7 miles of the park.
