Wigwam Village Inn #2 in Cave City, Kentucky

On a road trip between Chicago, Illinois and Chattanooga, Tennessee, my friends and I took a detour into Cave City, Kentucky to check out some Kentucky roadside attractions. Cave City is a crazy anomaly of a town, full of American wonders. They had everything from Big Mike’s Mystery House (a fun house full of optimal illusions) to a dinosaur park to cave exploration to a wax museum. Unfortunately, Cave City had way too many attractions to pack into a short stopover, and we didn’t have too much time to scope everything out, but we definitely took a peek around town and caught some of the highlights, including Wigwam Village Inn #2.

The Cave City wigwam motel is a motel where all of the rooms are shaped like teepees. Seriously, these babies have real beds and cable TV and everything. And are shaped like teepees. The teepee motel structures look like they should be tents, but no, they are hotel rooms.

We stopped by the Wigwam Village Kentucky location to take photos but, unfortunately, didn’t get a chance to stay there for the night…but hopefully someday I will get to experience what it’s like to stay in a deluxe wigwam!
