Delicious breakfast, elegantly served on fine china in a lovely dining room. Home made scrambled eggs, bacon, French toast, fresh fruit, muffin and orange juice.

There was a fair amount of dust on the blinds in the bathroom. I have allergies, so i felt like it contributed somewhat to aggravating those issues.

Very nice staff. I felt right at home, from the start! The location is perfect..away from noise/traffic, except the occasional train. Enjoyed looking at all the antiques, and reading some of Sherlock Holmes (found in my room’s bookshelf)! The porch was ideal to sit and chat/read. Breakfast was great and cozy.

Coffee was not available until 8 am - for early birds that too late! So we drove to the nearest coffee shop each morning. There was no access to ice etc. after a certain time in the afternoon. There were lots of small decorative items on the dressers - while they added to the charm of the room, there was not a lot of space for travel stuff. Had to move them to a side table so nothing got broken.

Neat, cozy place. Easy drive to the park. Relaxing to sit on the porch and watch the trains.

The room was small, with no real surfaces on which to write or read and walls seeming a bit crowded with pictures. Other than the caves, there was little else nearby, for example dining, shopping, etc. While the hosts were accommodating to us, we think that having coffee, tea and a microwave oven available to all guests throughout normal waking hours would increase the guests' convenience. An intriguing library in the house caught our attention, but signs made it clear that the books were to be viewed on the shelves and not taken down and perused further.

The location was excellent, in proximity to Mammoth Caves National Park and at least one private cave, the main attractions of the area. The Victorian house was full of vintage furnishings and decorations, and the hosts strove to be helpful. Also, except for the trains which periodically pass, the spot was peacefully quiet. The breakfasts were tasty and ample.

Nothing! Already wanting to go back!

Loved the Victorian charm mixed with local favs like the biking and hiking trails to Mammoth Caves. Inn keeper was amazing and very accommodating for our late arrival. She was incredibly sweet and made us feel welcomed.

The biggest negative that people need to know about this place: It's literally 100 feet from a busy railroad track. Trains came rumbling past every 2-3 hours the entire night, blowing their horns and shaking the room. It's SO loud and totally impossible to sleep through!! Another unexpected thing: our room had a gas fireplace in it that would periodically turn itself on and off. We couldn't find a thermostat or any other way to control it. It's not a problem, just kind of odd to have a haunted fireplace in your room... Also, just be aware that since this is more of a B&B and not a big hotel, there are limited check-in hours (3-5pm) and no staff on duty overnight.

The breakfast was great and the owner was super friendly. It was easy to park and convenient to bring things into our room since we had a room with a private entrance onto the porch. The room had everything we needed, including good pillows, a rare find in hotels these days. Location is great for going to Mammoth Cave National Park.

Breakfast is great. The host is very nice and considerate. The inn is a great place full of history. We feel that we are living in 200 years ago. Very enjoyable experience.

Everything was great! The only thing to even mention is the location of the Inn to the train track. To be honest, I was tired and didn't wake up once. But, if you are a light sleeper, you may hear the train go by. But that is the only thing I can think of.

Loved the decor/antiques/history of the Inn. Bed was VERY comfortable, and one of the owners, Karin, was there when we checked in. She was very friendly and the room had everything we needed. I actually wish we could have stayed another night. We definitely plan on staying here again in the future!

Our bathroom had unfinished repairs. Spackle on a wall. There were many other rooms available. Perhaps we could have had a different room?

Beautiful Victorian decor throughout. Even the outside. Historical ruins next door.

Excellent stay! Amazing breakfast and quiet and cozy room. Very close to Mammoth Cave National Park. I would highly recommend the Grand Victorian Inn to others!

Diane went out of her way to accommodate us. We left earlier than others as we had an appointment and she made sure we were fed.

I did not like that we could not stay longer. It was a very interesting setting, and I would’ve loved to have more time to explore.

This is an exceptional historic property that was brought back from ruins and carefully rehabbed for use by modern travelers. The owners have had experience in doing this, and are providing a very comfortable and memorable stay. The queen bed was comfortable as were the bed linens. A bottle of water was provided for each of us and the bathroom was huge…with shampoo, shower gel and facial soap provided. We have always lived where the sound of a train was prevalent in our lives. This is right by an active rail line and the train runs through it. For us, it was very soothing. If that is not part of your life it could be a distraction. For us, it was delightful.

Karen was so welcoming & informative. Love the history she shared about her family and the inn. Breakfast was absolutely delicious!
