Great getaway!

We stayed at this cabin for a full week and had an amazing time. It was tucked away and on a beautiful piece of property. We drove to town (15-30 min depending on where we went) for some good restaurants and sightseeing. We would stay again in a heartbeat. Mr. Doug was a great host and we had everything we needed.

Everything we could've asked for!

We had such a great stay, and our two dogs absolutely loved being able to go off leash, and Doug was so accommodating and friendly. The cabin was absolutely gorgeous, and very well kept! Will definitely stay again!

Relaxing

We wanted a quiet get away from home and the daily routines. This is the place as it was advertised. We enjoyed the inside as well as the outside. The inside had every thing we needed.The rustic furniture made it cozy. The outside has walking trails and one takes you to a nice little pond to fish in.We enjoyed our stay, it was just right for us. Thanks Doug for sharing it.

Birthday Weekend 2024

Had a great time ! The gueat house was perfect for a getaway from the hustke and bustle of life. The only drawback was the gravel road , 2 miles, you had to drive on to get to a grocery store unless you go way out . The prooerty is beautiful. The only thing id do dodferent is have an air fryer. That gives you an oven to go along with the 2 plate hot plate. We loved it and would love to go back. We saw turkeys, deer, all kinds of birds. Our rat terrier loved it too !

What a great place to call home for a couple days

We so enjoyed our stay here. After 2 busy days at Holiday World, it was beyond amazing to come back to a beautiful setting and amazing guest house with so much room, super nice furnishings, and grill and firepit outside. The nice walk to the beautiful lake in the woods early morning was a great way to wake up. Doug is an amazing nice guy to talk with and planning was so easy with him. He responds to any questions and has so much ready at the house already for a great stay. I cannot say enough good things about him and the guest house!

Doug was awesome! The property had probably the best bed we have slept in. He was thoughtful and had some protectors for the couches knowing we had a couple dogs with us. It was nice and quiet out at his place though we didn't get to explore because of family obligations. My car decided to die on us and he was so kind offering help and not mad about the circumstance of essentially checking out a hour late due to having to run into town and back for a new battery. We greatly appreciate his kindness and patience as I felt absolutely awful about my car. We strive to leave properties in the same condition we come into them and leave especially on time which I felt like we failed the second part! But as I said, Doug was very understanding and even offered help and tools from his shop. Thank you again for a wonderful stay!

Perfect little get away

My spouse and I really needed to get away from life/work but wanted to bring our dogs, and this was the perfect spot to disconnect. The property is beautiful and has a great trail to walk and it's only a few minutes from Lincoln State Park. Would love to go back when it's warmer weather. ☺️

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
Hello Travelers!

I put together this "Guest House" accommodation about 15 years ago when moving to the area, with no intention of renting it as a bed and breakfast. It has seldom been used, but is appointed very nicely, similar to the log home primary residence on the property. Access to the facility is very convenient, with large expansive driveway access, and it is all very private, separate from the main residence. Renting the guest house includes access to the 13 wooded acres and pond on the property, with maintained walking trails. If you are interested in your own, private "resort" in the country, then this is your place. I'm adding amenities all the time, and hope to exceed your expectations. I'm excited about the Guest House as a bed and breakfast rental, and have already enjoyed meeting some really pleasant and interesting guests. I enjoy helping and hosting people, so I think this is going to be a good fit. I'm an entrepreneur by nature, so this is another opportunity for me to demonstrate my commitment to delivering value to you, my Customer! Welcome!

Why they chose this property

This property offers incredible value for the individual or group who is looking to have exclusive access to 13 wooded acres of land and all the features of a fully-furnished and very comfortable residence. With the exception of the occasional single RV customer that would share the property, it is an exclusive and private rental. Plus, the owner/operator is on site full time and available to answer questions and resolve concerns.

What makes this property unique

The mild Southern Indiana climate provides for long summers, and mild winters. Wildlife viewing is abundant on the property, and the owner/operator does regular wildlife photography during the winter months, so that opportunity to join him is available. The pond on the property is set up to swim and feed the fish, but if you want to try your hand at catch and release, there are good populations of large mouth bass and bluegill to be had.
