Spacious cottage (really a house) with a couple rooms upstairs for our daughter to sleep/play/get-out-of-our-hair in. Bedroom with large closet for us. Two bathrooms, a kitchen, fireplace, living room, indoor sun room, a grill out back, air, fridge, stove, microwave, dvd player and more. LOVED IT! Right across the street from the canoe livery, just around the bend from the zip line and practically kissing the Mammoth Cave State Park. Clean, neat and economical. Saved money by buying groceries and making our own breakfast, lunch and dinner. Lots of spaces to be together or get away from each other on a long family trip. Couldn't believe our good fortune in finding this place.

This review is not on the rooms in The Wayfarer B&B, but of the Hanson Cottage which is right next door. The cottage is run by the inkeepers, but the breakfast is not included.

I'll admit I was initially wary of booking the cottage since there were no photos online, and only one review of the B&B on Trip Advisor. I felt better after speaking to Becky on the phone. She was also very accommodating when I called back a couple of months later and less than two weeks before our reservation to drop one night since we had some modifications to our travel plans.

The Hanson Cottage was much better than we expected. Yes, it was quite old on the outside (although still in good shape), but the inside was less than two years old. The floors were hard-wood, the beds were comfortable (there's also a bed upstairs that's not mentioned on the website), the seating was comfortable, the decorations were quite pleasant.

There were plenty of cooking utensils and place settings. The only thing out of place was that a few older kitchen cabinets had been used, presumably to save money on the remodel. While slightly odd looking, it didn't take away from the functionality of the cabin.

The cabin has central A/C, as well as an auxiliary A/C unit upstairs.

The cabin (and B&B) is literally next to the National Park. Looking out the sunroom window, the National Park is only about five feet away. The Sand Cave was only a 0.3 mile walk. (You can't enter the Sand Cave). It was only about a 10 minute drive to the Welcome Center.

Our stay at the Wayfarer Bed and Breakfast was planned as a convenient location to spend the night after a long day of kayaking on the Green River. As it turned out, it felt more like a mini-vacation. Our room was charming - filled with antiques, lovely art, and a basket of assorted healthy foods for a continental breakfast in the morning. The owners provide a wonderful service for those who canoe and kayak - they'll take your vehicle to the location where you want to end your river trip, then drive you up river to the starting point of your choice. There are several rooms, plus a cottage for an entire family, or group rental. There are great restaurants just a few miles away for an evening meal. We'll be going back soon.
