Luxury Yurt w/Pond, Sauna, Fire-pit, Garden, Stars
Stillwater is designed around a simple truth. The body knows how to heal when the environment is right. Here, nature does the work. Quiet mornings by the water. Forest air, birdsong, firelight, and time that finally slows down. You begin to breathe differently. Thoughts soften. Sleep comes easier. Stillwater is not an escape. It's a reset. A reminder of how good you're meant to feel.

🌿 Arriving
The last mile to Stillwater is gravel. The trees close in, the sky widens, and the world you came from begins to fall away. The yurt comes into view with warm light through the windows, the pond beyond, the sauna settled into the trees.
You park beside the yurt. Step out. The first thing you notice is what isn't there.
No traffic. No noise. No rush.
Just the woods, the water, and a stillness you can feel in your chest.

Most guests arrive carrying more than their bags.
They leave lighter. Genuinely, quietly refreshed. The kind that doesn't fade when you hit the highway. Most are already planning their return before they reach the end of the gravel road.

About the host
Your host
Stillwater is independently owned and personally cared for. I created this space because I believe rest, nature, and simplicity matter more than most of us are given room for. Hosting allows me to share a place that’s meant to help you slow down, breathe easier, and feel genuinely at ease. You can expect a thoughtfully maintained space, clear communication, and a stay that feels calm, private, and intentional from start to finish.
Why they chose this property
I chose this location for its balance. The land sits quietly in the rolling hills of Hoosier National Forest, surrounded by trees, water, wildlife, and dark skies, yet it’s only minutes from French Lick and West Baden. You get real quiet here — the kind shaped by forest and distance — while still having easy access to dining, wineries, golf, hiking, and historic sites. It’s a place where you can explore during the day and return to stillness at night.
What makes this property unique
Stillwater isn’t designed to impress — it’s designed to restore. A handcrafted waterfront yurt, a wood-fired sauna, firelight, fresh air, and intentional simplicity create an environment where your nervous system can finally settle. Everything here supports slower mornings, deeper sleep, and a sense of presence that’s hard to find elsewhere. It’s less about amenities and more about how you feel while you’re here.
