"The oldest of the remaining Wigwam Villages, Wigwam Village No 2 in Cave City, Kentucky is also the cheapest. A double bed is only $45 during the week between December and mid-March. Even their most expensive room, 2 double beds on the weekend during peak summer season, is only $75 so staying in a Wigwam for your trip to Mammoth Cave is super-affordable.
Despite being over 75 years old, Wigwam Village #2 offers most of the comforts you’d expect at a modern hotel… TVs, air conditioning, etc. What the Wigwam Village #2 offers that a modern hotel doesn’t, however, is community… A playground, picnic shelter, and abundance of benches and green grass encourages travelers to mingle, not just stay holed up in their rooms." -Roadtrippers
Wigwam Village Inn #2 is the most unique motel in all of Kentucky. It celebrated 60 years of colorful history in 1997, and staying there will be an experience you will never forget.
The Wigwam Village Inn #2 began as a dream of Frank A. Redford in the early 1900s. Frank’s inspirations in this dream were a popular ice cream shop shaped like an upside down cone and authentic teepees he’d seen on a Sioux reservation in South Dakota. His dream became reality in 1935 when construction on Wigwam Village #1 was completed in Horse Cave, Kentucky. Realizing he’d hit upon a popular idea, Frank patented the design with the US patent office in 1936.
