Grand Victorian Inn

My wife and I were looking for a place to stay near Bowling Green, Ky where we had a golf date. I should have read the reviews. At 1am i was startled and woken out of my slumber by a freight train that runs less than 100 yards from our "horse themed" room.|I thought the train was coming through our room--- and again at 2:15, 3:45 and 5:00am.

This place is going for an old rustic Victorian feel and does a great job of it. It has such a long history and is very cool to be in the building surrounded by so may little trinkets, pictures, books, and pieces of history. The staff is so kind. Karen the owner is very sweet and accommodated our very late arrival seamlessly. The kitchen staff and chefs are so sweet and made a delicious breakfast with made to order eggs and pancakes. It’s very close to the Mammoth Cave national park and is a wonderful historical place to stay.

This was like stepping back in time and a breath of fresh air. I frequently tour old victorian homes and museums so when the opportunity arose for us to stay in this Victorian Inn, I was all in! What a beautiful place. I know others find the train disruptive, but we loved it. Didnt hear it past 9pm and we stayed in Suite Joy up front. Need was great, room decorated well, and all around the house. Kitchen area was awesome too. The true highlight of our stay was the staff member who prepared our breakfast. One of the sweetest people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. Can't wait to come back! Thank you!

Positive: Close to Mammoth Cave, staff was friendly. Local restaurant, Miss Betty?s, was good. Negative: Right at railroad tracks and the room was small for more more than one person.

We enjoyed our stay at the Grand Victorian. The hotel is a living history museum of decades past. On arrival we were a little overwhelmed by the number antiques and nick-naks but quickly acclimated. The hotel and room was super clean and the bed was very comfortable. The nearby railroad crossing was noticeable but not too loud on the backside of the hotel. 1 or 2 trains each night. The staff and proprietors were very hospitable and helpful. Very convenient location to Mammoth Cave NP.
