About the host

Hosted by Frank Hayes

Host profile image

I’ve been welcoming guests to Hickory Cabins for many years and enjoy sharing this part of Kentucky with people visiting the Mammoth Cave area. I’m usually nearby and available if guests need help, but I also believe a cabin getaway should give you the space to relax and enjoy your stay.

I enjoy working on the property, disc golf, technology and, more recently, astrophotography. On a clear night you may even find me outside with a telescope photographing galaxies and nebulae from our dark Kentucky skies.

My goal is pretty simple: provide a clean, comfortable place to stay and help guests have a great experience while they’re here.

Why they chose this property

We didn’t really choose this neighborhood—it has been part of my wife’s family for generations. Her family’s history in this area goes back to the early 1800s, and this property belonged to her grandfather before being passed down through the family.

That history gives this land a meaning to us that goes far beyond its location. Today, we have the opportunity to share a small part of that family heritage with our guests while they enjoy the woods, hills and natural beauty of the Mammoth Cave area.

A lot has changed here over more than two centuries, but it’s still a quiet, rural part of Kentucky where you can spend the day exploring and come back to the woods, wildlife and dark skies at night.

What makes this property unique

Hickory Cabins is more than simply a place to sleep while visiting Mammoth Cave.

Our three cabins are surrounded by 86 wooded acres, and guests have access to Wolf Knob Disc Golf Course, an 18-hole championship course designed by John Houck. It’s a destination in its own right for disc golfers, but you don’t have to play disc golf to enjoy the property.

After dark, there’s another experience overhead. Mammoth Cave National Park is an International Dark Sky Park, and our location offers wonderful opportunities for stargazing. Guests can even rent our Seestar S30 Pro smart telescope, which I set up for them, and try capturing galaxies, nebulae and other objects during their stay.

It’s a combination that’s difficult to find elsewhere: a cabin in the Kentucky woods, Mammoth Cave nearby, championship disc golf outside your door, and dark skies overhead.
