Cave City, Kentucky - Wigwam Village Motel #2

My family and I spent the night in the bliss of a concrete wigwam at the aptly named Wigwam Village. While the place is certainly a novelty worthy of preservation, it doesn't make for the best night's sleep. The "rooms" were cramped at best and a neighboring train track provided "background noise" throughout the night in the form of locomotive whistles and rumblings. Our particular wigwam could have done with a good airing out. The wigwams are circled around a playground/picnic area and lots of family bonding time was had by jovial children, parents and grandparents who had ventured out from neighboring units at sunset.

A stop by the "Big Wigwam" is a must, as it features an Indian-themed gift shop in the basement. At the time in 2008, a friendly gentleman of foreign descent ran the place and offered a complimentary postcard with each stay. [Faye Travis, 02/14/2009]

Wigwam Village is hanging in there. It changed owners in 2005. I spoke with the manager, who is the owner's brother-in-law, at length, about running the place. The interior plywood walls of the office have extensive water damage, making them buckle. He claims to be unable to fix them. Mostly poor quailty trinkets are for sale, some American Indian themed. There is an assortment of colored pennants that are a bargain for $1.49.

The place is booked solid through the summer and on every weekend the rest of the year, so you'd better make a reservation. [James Hite, 09/27/2006]

[RA: Good to hear the teepees are still available for overnight stays! In August we visited the Wigwam Village in Holbrook, AZ....]
