Nice property with a very clean house and a good central location to a lot of natural and historical sites. Very good fishing nearby lakes and the river across the street.
The river view was incredible! The house was super cozy and clean. Very comfortable. Close drive to French Lick and was very quiet at night. Would highly recommend to anyone staying!
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.
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.
We enjoyed our stay. The home was welcoming, peaceful, pleasant and clean. The host was incredible and very prompt in responding to messages. I would recommend Scenic Escape for a nice little getaway.
