My friends and I went to Holiday World for my 30th birthday and had a wonderful stay at the Potter Cottage! It was a great house to relax before and after visiting the amusement park. We had lovely meals in the big shared spaces, relaxing chats on the porch and deck, and slept like rocks in the comfy bedrooms. We'd definitely come back for another stay :)

Fantastic place!

This property was perfect for our family, 8 adults plus one toddler. It was clean, perfect amount of space for our needs, and charming. Loved the setting, private, but so close to Holiday World. We loved our stay at Potter Cottage!

Wonderful location

This is our second year to stay at this house. We love the location. Great grandchildren spend every day in the water park and rides. Because of my arthritis, I take my sewing machine to sew on my quilts.

Wonderful property!

We have stayed here several years and the property never disappoints. Close by to Holiday World. We like coming back to a nice, clean place to stay. Everyone can shower and relax at the end of the day. We don't have to be all crowded together. Plenty of space. The kids loved seeing all the frogs and we saw a couple of turtles in the pond too! The host is quick to respond and very helpful/accommodating. Thanks for creating so many memories for our family. We will be back next year!

Perfect Stay

The house was very clean on arrival and was nicely decorated! It was the perfect spot for a weekend stay. We even made the mistake of taking the Bluetooth speaker thinking our friend left it behind and the host was very understanding and we were able to get it back to them!
