Early in the 1950’s a woman named Agnus Stucky owned the the Lodge and surrounding area including the Cataract Falls. Recognizing the magnitude and responsibility to operate and maintain such a grand property she sold the falls to the State of Indiana but kept the lodge as her home. She lived at the lodge and operated the property as a resort for guests visiting the magnificent falls. The lodge itself was was at the center of the small resort with a dozen or so small cabins around the lodge. As time marched on the cabins and lodge itself fell into disrepair and the property was divided up into lots and sold off. Since then each cabin either fell down or became uninhabitable and was removed leaving nothing of the resort except the Indiana Limestone structure now recognized as the Cataract Falls Lodge. brbrI purchased the property from its current owner in September of 2020 with a goal to bring back the resort. To offer a place for friends and families to gather and make memories exploring and experiencing all the wonders of this amazing State Park. Besides the original Limestone exterior, nothing during the renovation of the Lodge was left untouched. Its design is set up for people that love the outdoors and amenities of a home but want the simplicity of use a luxury hotel provides.brbrLocated at the entrance to the Cataract State Recreation Area, guests can enjoy and experience the Park from the doorstep of the lodge. The lodge itself has luxury sleeping accommodations to include 3 queen beds, 2 Queen Murphy Beds and pull-out couches sleeping 16 with 3.5 baths. Adjoining fire doors within the lodge separates the lodge into three distinct individual suites to include a large bonus room at the center of the lodge. Each Suite can be rented individually for small group stays, romantic couples get-a-ways or combine the suites for family retreats, team building events and social gatherings. brbrI am pleased to say that now standing on the property is the Cataract Falls Lodge Wedding Veranda. Shown as the first photo in the listing the indoor outdoor space is perfect for group events. It’s not a barn, it’s better. Inquire about our wedding package consisting of overnight accommodations and use of the entire grounds to include tables and chairs for up to 60 people.
