    Fabulous vacation stepping off point. The views were wonderful and the amount of songbirds was a nice surprise. The house itself was well stocked and the beds very comfortable. Our hostess was excellent in communicating with us amd we would love to visit again.

    Very pleasant experience. The house is well equipped in the kitchen. Bathroom was very well stocked. Bedrooms were comfortable could maybe use room darken shades but that’s just my personal preference. The area was very relaxing and quiet. My dogs loved that they could be with me and hubby. Thank you for the memories. Happy Easter. Kim, Luis, Oz and Ladon.

    The house was great! Very clean and cute, and just as listed. View of the river was nice, and we enjoyed drinking coffee on the deck in the morning. Nice amenities. Only issue was the WiFi. We got the TV in the game room to work, but not the living room. Katrina was great with communication though. We would definitely stay again!

    We loved the property and had a wonderful time exploring nature and spent a lot of time in the game room. The house was clean and the host was very thoughtful. We ate at all the local food places nearby and give faytastic pizza, bo macs, and velmas all 2 thumbs up.

    This house was spotless and well equipped. The owners have gone above and beyond with making sure you have everything, even a toothbrush. The bed was so comfortable, everything was top notch. You could tell they put a lot of thought and effort into this home. The game room was a huge bonus. We were lucky enough to meet Lady, the neighbors dog. Sweetest baby and just beautiful.

    This place was amazing, beautiful, cute and the host were amazing. Never been to the area gave us all kinds of family adventures to go on and be more pleased with our stay at this retreat. Highly recommend anyone coming down of this area to explore or just to get away. Don't forget to bring your fishing poles

    The cabin is spotless and well appointed. We enjoyed our stay - our activities were mostly in French Lick, but it's not a bad drive, although it is VERY dark at night, lol. The weather was still nice enough in October that we were able to sit outside for awhile in the evening and enjoy the river view. We also traveled to Loogootee and enjoyed Stoll's Lakeview restaurant, the home-cooked meal was wonderful. A lighter weight blanket would be nice for the bedroom with the double bed - the quilt is a little too heavy for warm weather and the sheet was not enough. We would return if gatherings bring us to the area in the future.

    The weather might not have been the best but we had the best weekend. Woke up to no power which forced us to venture into town to eat, the highly recommended Mexican restaurant. 10/10 I see why it’s a favorite. We had so much fun playing bumper pool, which we probably wouldn’t have if it wasn’t raining. Beautiful house! Got to meet Lady who was just so adorable and friendly. Would definitely come back.
