The property was just what we were looking for. Quiet, out in the country, with walking trails and a pond to fish or swim in. We brought a trailer for our ATV (we were riding at the nearby Interlake SRA just a short distance away) and there was plenty of room for our trailer while we were there.Doug was a great host, gave us some ideas on places to eat and the nearby town of Boonville, has a neat downtown block with restaurants and shops.

Where do I start?! We were able to check ourselves in very late at night, which was very convenient for us. The cabin was absolutely beautiful. Clean and minimalistic. There were an abundance of towels and washcloths in the bathroom. The water pressure in the shower was divine and the water stayed super hot for the duration of my showers without having to adjust the temp multiple times. The bed was extremely comfortable! I have had major spinal surgery, and most beds hurt my back, but this one was perfect! The only complaint we had was the lack of exterior lighting. Trying to find the cabin in the pitch darkness was a bit difficult. Communication with Doug was seamless and easy. He responded promptly and was super helpful. We will definitely stay here again if we visit the area in the future!

Perfect little get away

My spouse and I really needed to get away from life/work but wanted to bring our dogs, and this was the perfect spot to disconnect. The property is beautiful and has a great trail to walk and it's only a few minutes from Lincoln State Park. Would love to go back when it's warmer weather. ☺️

Comfortable Stay

We rented Doug's place kinda last minute for a one night stay in the middle of an emergency cross country road trip. Doug was wonderful to communicate with, very friendly and responsive. The unit was well cared for, clean, and comfortable. The only thing I feel that is important to mention that there was a Confederate flag hung on the property. As a North Eastern Hispanic family, its presence was unsettling. We understand that the flag for some is a symbol for states rights, but for others it is a symbol of racism. The flag isn't present in the photos posted online, so I just wanted to mention it so others are not taken by surprise upon their arrival. The property host, Doug, was friendly and kind and did not behave in any negative or racist way.

Great getaway!

We stayed at this cabin for a full week and had an amazing time. It was tucked away and on a beautiful piece of property. We drove to town (15-30 min depending on where we went) for some good restaurants and sightseeing. We would stay again in a heartbeat. Mr. Doug was a great host and we had everything we needed.

Relaxing

We wanted a quiet get away from home and the daily routines. This is the place as it was advertised. We enjoyed the inside as well as the outside. The inside had every thing we needed.The rustic furniture made it cozy. The outside has walking trails and one takes you to a nice little pond to fish in.We enjoyed our stay, it was just right for us. Thanks Doug for sharing it.

Birthday Weekend 2024

Had a great time ! The gueat house was perfect for a getaway from the hustke and bustle of life. The only drawback was the gravel road , 2 miles, you had to drive on to get to a grocery store unless you go way out . The prooerty is beautiful. The only thing id do dodferent is have an air fryer. That gives you an oven to go along with the 2 plate hot plate. We loved it and would love to go back. We saw turkeys, deer, all kinds of birds. Our rat terrier loved it too !

What a great place to call home for a couple days

We so enjoyed our stay here. After 2 busy days at Holiday World, it was beyond amazing to come back to a beautiful setting and amazing guest house with so much room, super nice furnishings, and grill and firepit outside. The nice walk to the beautiful lake in the woods early morning was a great way to wake up. Doug is an amazing nice guy to talk with and planning was so easy with him. He responds to any questions and has so much ready at the house already for a great stay. I cannot say enough good things about him and the guest house!

About the host

Host profile image
Hello Travelers!

I put together this "Guest House" accommodation about 15 years ago when moving to the area, with no intention of renting it as a bed and breakfast. It has seldom been used, but is appointed very nicely, similar to the log home primary residence on the property. Access to the facility is very convenient, with large expansive driveway access, and it is all very private, separate from the main residence. Renting the guest house includes access to the 13 wooded acres and pond on the property, with maintained walking trails. If you are interested in your own, private "resort" in the country, then this is your place. I'm adding amenities all the time, and hope to exceed your expectations. I'm excited about the Guest House as a bed and breakfast rental, and have already enjoyed meeting some really pleasant and interesting guests. I enjoy helping and hosting people, so I think this is going to be a good fit. I'm an entrepreneur by nature, so this is another opportunity for me to demonstrate my commitment to delivering value to you, my Customer! Welcome!

Why they chose this property

This property offers incredible value for the individual or group who is looking to have exclusive access to 13 wooded acres of land and all the features of a fully-furnished and very comfortable residence. With the exception of the occasional single RV customer that would share the property, it is an exclusive and private rental. Plus, the owner/operator is on site full time and available to answer questions and resolve concerns.

What makes this property unique

The mild Southern Indiana climate provides for long summers, and mild winters. Wildlife viewing is abundant on the property, and the owner/operator does regular wildlife photography during the winter months, so that opportunity to join him is available. The pond on the property is set up to swim and feed the fish, but if you want to try your hand at catch and release, there are good populations of large mouth bass and bluegill to be had.
