The actual home and hot tub were very nice, but the location was not what was expected. Close to a busy road with noise and behind a gas station and retail store, nearby train tracks. The cows and pond were nice-Just hard to enjoy with the other distractions.

Great place to stay for a get away weekend

My wife and I enjoyed the house for a get away weekend. It was clean and they layout was great. We actually enjoyed it when the train passed by. My wife might return later for another get away with her sisters. Also enjoyed the Overlook Restaurant while we were there.

Labor Day Weekend Trip

Great property and home. We enjoyed the space and pond and the cows next door. The only draw back is the location. With a busy train track around two hundred feet in front of the house, both during the day and night, and a busy highway to the north side of the property, this peaceful location becomes very noisy. We loved the property but probably wouldn't stay again due to the noise level.

Super comfortable, well appointed cabin!

I recently visited Southern IN for a golf trip and had the pleasure of staying in the Mitchell’s cabin. Fully stocked kitchen, great outdoor area and super comfy king bed in the upstairs loft. I managed to leave something pretty important behind, and Martha was very accommodating getting it returned to me. Btw, Sultan’s Run in Jasper, IN (30 min drive from cabin) is a fantastic golf course.. just as good as the Dye Course in French Lick and less than a third of the cost to play! If I make my way back to So IN will definitely stay in this cabin again!

Family-friendly cabin near local attractions

The cabin was clean, cozy and a good location for our family hiking trips at Hemlock Cliff, Patoka Lake, and visit to Marengo Cavern. Our kids loved the hot tub, fishing for large mouth bass and catfish, visiting the neighbor cows along the fence line, and waving at the trains (and getting them to honk the horn!). The track does run on a bend near the property, but was more of a highlight for our families vs. a nuisance. Dollar General and gas station are conveniently located at the bottom of the hill. The porches, fire pit with swings, and welcome goodies were really nice. Owners were quick to respond and easy to communicate with. Cell service was limited, so it was nice to have WiFi, too.

Wilstem Farms

We were heading to Wilstem farms for a visit and needed a great place to stay and enjoy some family time. This place was awesome. We got to make great use of the firepit. Had some interesting fun at the pond. Its a catch and release pond however the fish didn't get the memo. We had 3 poles pulled in the water by catfish. We got them out later by catching them when casting out. Once we got the pole back with a catfish hooked. We laughed and made great memories. This cabin and the owners communication couldn't have been better. GREAT JOB

AMAZING little hideaway!

I cannot say enough positive things about this property. This trip was a girls getaway that allowed us to get in touch with nature but not be too far from civilization! It is a beautiful property! I enjoyed the peace and serenity that came with the morning, steady haze hovering over the pond as the June sunrise started to warm up the day. The location is perfect-if you want to go to French lick, holiday world, Marengo caves, river canoeing—all within reasonable distances! There is a gas station/ convenience store and a dollar general right off the main road if you forget anything. The cabin is well maintained as well as super comfortable. Owners even had a welcome basket! Martha was always responsive when we messaged prior to our trip (our group traveled a good distance and as the leader of the group I had questions for those what-if scenarios)! Wifi worked great for 6 people and streaming. Tons of photogenic spots on the property! Yes, there is a train that is pretty close to the property so if you have young kids or animals who scare easily it’s worth noting but it didn’t bother us. Our last day when we woke up, it poured down rain and it was just the most relaxing sound hearing it hit the roof of the cabin. It was a wonderful getaway and we were thankful for the opportunity to have spent our trip there! I plan to return with my family in the future. Thank you, Mitchell Family!

We had the most wonderful stays at this cabin twice now and can’t wait to come back! The cabin was spotless and so thoughtfully prepared, including a bottle of wine. The cabin was very clean, well-stocked with everything we needed, and the beds were incredibly comfortable with plenty of blankets and pillows to make us feel right at home.The fall decorations gave it such a cozy touch, and we loved relaxing in the hot tub after a day of fishing. The cows next door added such a peaceful country charm, and the view of the stars at night was absolutely breathtaking—especially once Dollar General turned off their lights.The location was also perfect. Having Dollar General so close made it easy to grab last-minute items, and we picked up bait and firewood at Pappy’s Gas Station. We also loved exploring nearby wineries—Patoka Lake Winery and French Lick Winery were both great stops. For food, Benny’s Off the Water Restaurant and the Power Plant Bar & Grill at the French Lick Resort were fantastic.This cabin truly gave us the perfect mix of relaxation and convenience. Between the hot tub, fishing, starry skies, and thoughtful touches inside, it was everything we could have hoped for in a getaway. Highly recommend!

Nice getaway. Lots of trains going by very, very closely on a curve so you hear thembig time putting on the brakes. Lit up at night from the Dollar General very close. Not as secluded as we hoped.

One of the best VRBO’s we have stayed at. So clean & accomidating. The pond was super fun to fish in, the hottub was super clean and the property was very well maintained even to the landscaping outside. The swings by the fire pit & the neighboring cows were a hoot! I had some worries with reading other reviews about the train, but honestly it was a cool experience to watch them come by and the kids loved it too. We are already looking at dates to come stay again because it was such a wonderful experience. Thank you!!

Nice if u like trains

Read reviews and did not see any comments about a train that is literally feet behind the house. VERY LOUD. I did enjoy all the graffiti. Like a traveling art show. The kitchen could have been cleaner. My husband left it cleaner than when we arrived. If there wasn’t the train we would have loved our stay
