The Quirky Motel In Kentucky You Never Knew You Needed To Stay At

When you’re looking for a weekend getaway, there are plenty of places to stay overnight in Kentucky, but have you ever slept in a wigwam? This charming, quirky little motel in Cave City will take you right back to the 1930s.

During these uncertain times, please keep safety in mind and consider adding destinations to your bucket list to visit at a later date.
In the early 1930s, Frank A. Redford dreamed of building a place where families could stay overnight in a unique setting.

He'd seen teepees when he visited a Sioux reservation, and he styled his motels after them. Mr. Redford built a total of seven Wigwam Village Inns in the 1930s—in Kentucky, Arizona, California, Alabama and New Orleans. Today, only three remain.
You'll find Wigwam Village Inn #2 at 601 N. Dixie Highway in Cave City, Kentucky.

The motel has 15 wigwams to accommodate guests. Built in 1937, it's listed on both the Kentucky and National Historic Registers.
These little concrete wigwams haven't changed much since the 1930s.

In fact, you may have memories of staying here while vacationing as a child. It's a popular spot to spend the night while visiting Mammoth Cave.
Each wigwam has a private bath, one or two double beds, and original 1930s cane furniture.

Staying here is like stepping right back into the 1930s!

More modern conveniences include color TVs with cable, air conditioning and coffee makers.
Even the keys are old-school.

The wigwams are set up around a playground. In the evening while kids make new friends, adults sit on the misting deck and chat in the twilight.

The communal aspect of Wigwam Village Inn harkens back to a time when neighbors gathered in the evenings to catch up on the latest happenings. It's a feeling of community many of us miss in our everyday lives now.
Make some new family memories here this year!
