Having moved to Southern Indiana 5 years ago, we discovered the Patoka Lake region and the Hoosier National Forrest in 2023. Our log cabin is in the heart of this fabulous place, located in the lush, wooded area of Grant Woods and a 2.5 mile drive to the Patoka Lake State Park, Patoka Lake Brewery, BMF Saloon and Winery.
You will stay in a cabin that has recently been renovated and is nestled on a hillside in the woods. Fishing, boating and hiking are within a few minutes drive. The cabin overlooks a seasonal stream and sleeps four people comfortably on queen size beds. All linens, pillows, mattresses and towels are provided.
For outdoor enjoyment, in addition to the full front porch, we have a partially covered deck on the back with a propane fire table and a convertible daybed couch. The uncovered area allows for use of the propane grill and stargazing. The firepit is down a short rock path.
The kitchen has a range, microwave, refrigerator, toaster, garbage disposal, tea kettle and drip coffee maker. Utensils, coffee, limited spices and stoneware are included.
Watching movies or games on the large screen smart TV can be comfortably done on a leather sectional with recliners and USB ports. An electric fireplace provides additional warmth if needed, although the mini-split provides ample heating and cooling. A quiet air purifier cleans the air of dust, pollen or cooking odors.
The one private bedroom is on the main floor across from the full bathroom with tub, washer and dryer. The two windows in the bedroom allow for viewing of the woods upon awakening. The other bed is in the loft that overlooks the main room. There is additional space there for other activities, including a desk for remote work, learning and playing games.
Laundry detergent, hand soap, and dish soap is provided throughout your stay. A starter pack of toilet paper, paper towels, shampoo, conditioner, and lotion are also provided. For longer stays, guests will need to supplement these amenities. A hair dryer, iron and ironing board are provided.
Parking is available in the driveway to the home. Smoking is allowed on the porch and deck but not in the cabin.
We provide a complimentary Indiana State Park pass for use during your stay, for free entrance into Patoka Lake State Park.
Quiet hours are 10pm-8am to maintain the charm of this quiet, wooded neighborhood.
The cabin is located on a private gravel road, only maintained by local residents. Four-wheel drive vehicles are recommended during winter months in case of ice and snow. There is a gas station with a store and two restaurants, offering lunch and dinner (March thru October) conveniently located across from the Winery. There is BMF saloon offering some breakfast and lunch items year round. It is 18 miles to French Lick which features a casino, golf courses, go karts, indoor water park, winery, and other restaurants. We are just 22 miles from Paoli Peaks ski resort and Marengo cave as well.
The area has limited cell service, but more than adequate free Wi-Fi is available at the cabin.
