The "Hutch House" is a great place to stay if you are looking for rest and relaxation. The home has a lot of character, and the lake view is spectacular. There is a lot of wildlife to enjoy, right from the deck or through the large windows. Richard and Marsha are wonderful hosts. Thank you!

Excellent remote location

My family and I enjoyed this location. There were tons of animals to see, the windows give a great opportunity to observe wildlife from the dinning room. House has a great history and great walking on the property itself. We enjoyed locating and identifying the local flora.

Family vacation

We loved our stay, we felt so comfortable and right at home. This is a beautiful old house with so much room. The view of the pond from the dinning room and the decks is wonderful and relaxing. Our boys fished everyday and night, they caught a few fish. They got a kick out of the pedal boat. It was a great vacation and we would definitely stay again

The Hutch House is exactly as described. Richard and Marsha were quick to respond during the booking process and during our stay. The little pond was a great source of entertainment for everyone: from fishing to riding in the boats. My 13 year old daughter caught her first large mouth bass and loved feeding the turtles! We also caught lots of large bluegill and the hybrid bluegills were a surprise with their blue and purple coloring.There was plenty of space for our family of 9 to roam outside or chill inside. The kitchen and pantry were stocked with everything needed for cooking, lots of coffee options, and grilling items. We also loved the fire pit!We will definitely book again!!

This cabin was a fantastic location to work remotely in a relaxing atmosphere. The hosts thought of everything for us and were easy to communicate with. As someone from a rural area I appreciated that they promoted the area's small town businesses to visit during our stay.

Why they chose this property

We located this original hand hewn log home in southern Indiana and learned that it was built in 1817. it was soon to be destroyed by the owner, as it had become a safety hazard.. To salvage and preserve this important bit of history, we took the home apart log by log and transported it in late 1972 to its present location . After two years of construction it became livable in the fall of 1974. You will find a picture album in the home showing how the home was disassembled, transported and rebuilt at the present location. Although the house has retained the original footprint, the interior has been updated two times since the reconstruction; the latest was completed early this year of 2019. After 45 years of living here, we have decided to open the home for more people to experience just a bit of history in this modern environment.
