Beautiful, quiet setting. The property is easy to locate. Great kitchen with everything you need for family meals. Hiking on site. We walked up to the lookout twice a day. State Park is close for walks around the lake and dinner at the Lodge. The host is very cordial and willing to give you a tour of the property. A five star experience.

Perfect location

This property was peaceful and neat and tidy. Just 20 minutes from Fall Creek Falls. The only complaint I have is that there is a mouse problem. We had to store bread and snacks in the microwave after losing a bag of hamburger buns to one of those critters. The owners were very nice to deal with.

Beautiful cabin in the woods

The property is absolutely amazing! It sits on private land that has tons of trails to hike on. The host gave us a private tour on his ATV of the trails and how he built the property. They communicated very quickly with us and always making sure we had what we needed. They even helped us start our fire pit since we couldn't get it started ourselves and the wood was wet from a small rain shower. The cabin was perfect with everything we needed. The beds were amazingly soft and comfortable. We would recommend this cabin to anyone looking to stay in the Fall Creek Falls state park area. Perfectly wonderful cabin in the woods!

We certainty surprised our friends with the beautiful cabin. Kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms were stocked with everything we needed.
