Get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life to this peaceful and quiet little cabin surrounded by the beautiful Hoosier National Forest in Southern Indiana. Being nestled in the middle of thousands of acres of forestry, we are in a recreational region that features tons of outdoor activities for nature lovers to explore and enjoy such as hiking, biking, hunting, fishing, ATV riding and horseback riding just to name a few. We are close to several wineries, antique stores and the well-known Holiday World and Splashin' Safari. The cabin offers free WiFi, a fully stocked kitchen ready for groceries that you provide. A few essentials are provided such as coffee, coffee filters, creamer, salt, pepper, butter, ketchup, mustard, sugar and flour and a small supply of bottled water. A few light snacks will also be provided. The dining table seats 6\. The bathroom and bedrooms are stocked with linens. Please bring your own toiletries, however a few basics are provided such as shower gel, toilet paper and hand soap.

Down the hall is the full bathroom with shower unit, one bedroom with a full size bed and another bedroom with two twin beds. The cabin can comfortably sleep 6 guests. The covered front porch is a quiet, comfortable oasis to enjoy the beautiful view of the forestry and quite possibly see some deer, turkeys and other wildlife.
