BRAND NEW Lake home, getaway retreat! Hot Tub, 1 MILE TO BOAT RAMP!

We would love to share our beautiful, BRAND NEW lake home designed for a family, with you and your family. "The BIG Patoka", was constructed in 2023; located at Noah's Harbour in "The Little Patoka" neighborhood area.

Within the home are large open spaces for gathering, soaring ceilings, and oversized windows that provide lots of natural lighting. This spacious 3600 square foot home has 4.5 bathrooms, four full bedrooms, 3 bedrooms of which are master suites, the 4th including bunks along with extra sleeping areas for children. The property can sleep 14 comfortably. The house offers two large living room areas, one with a wood burning fireplace and seating for cozy conversations while the other provides theater style sofas and a 85" television with sound bar and sub woofer for watching movies, sport games or lounging. A billiard and foosball table, wet bar with beverage refrigerator, board/card games, table and chairs are also provided in this area for your family social time.
Completely furnished and the customized extras promise to make your stay very enjoyable.
This home sits on over an acre with lots of yard space for family play. Enjoy nature, peace of mind, a family BBQ, cup of coffee, relaxing reading time, or therapeutic hot tub soak on one of our four oversized porches as you can hear boats zooming around nearby!
All bedrooms and living room areas are provided with Smart TV's, be sure to bring your Netflix and other account logins to feel right at home.
Bring your boat! This home is one of the closest properties on the lake to a boat ramp, exactly a 1 mile drive to the Little Patoka ramp. This boat ramp is more secluded, less crowded, provides a boat dock and public restroom. The boat ramp is so close our kids enjoy to ride in the boat on the trailer from the house to the ramp. The home has a large parking area big enough for multiple vehicles and watercrafts.
StarLink high-speed internet is provided along with space for work for learning.
Hunters and Anglers WELCOME! Surrounding areas of the Hoosier National Forest offer endless ground for deer, turkey, and other game!

Amazing Girls Weekend!!!!
Our Girls Weekend at The Big Patoka Lake house was completely amazing. This house is everything you could ever want for the perfect get away with friends and family. Courtney was an excellent host and made booking and our stay amazing. The home was everything and more. Plenty of room for our party of 8 to each have their own bed. The beds and pillows were all so comfortable. We went from gathering around the kitchen island, which is beautiful, to the kitchen table to the basement game area. There were plenty of games to be played, pool table and the hot tub. It was a rainy cold weekend so the hot tub was definitely a bonus! Patoka Lake winery is about a 20 min drive from the house and has some delicious wines and slushies to choose from. If the home is this beautiful in the winter we can't wait to go back in the summer!!! Thank you for an Amazing stay!!!!

Big Fun at the Big Patoka!
Our family of 12 recently stayed at The Big Patoka for 3 nights. We had a wonderful time in this beautiful, brand new retreat! The home had plenty of space to gather and play. The main living area had comfortable seating for our large group and was open to the well-stocked kitchen and dining area. The granite buffet is gorgeous! We also enjoyed the fireplace. Although it was cold and rainy, we did not get to enjoy the large porches on each of the 3 levels of the house. But the outdoor dining and seating possibilities and backyard views will be great in warmer weather. The bedrooms were spacious, providing ample, private sleeping quarters for our large group, including an infant. The memory foam mattresses and linens were very comfortable. The downstairs bunk room was perfect for the kids. The entire lower level offers lots of play. Pool table, foosball, game table with board and card games, wet bar, huge tv, and theater style sofas. Our family stayed and played. Outside on the deck is a huge hot tub. I will note that this vacation home is off the beaten path. So come prepared! Although our stay in this home was a blast in December, a stay during lake season would be awesome. This great vacation home is just a mile from Patoka Lake. Our family hopes to return in warm weather to fully enjoy its several amenities. Book this home! You will not be disappointed.
