We stayed for a few days, visited Holiday World and Patoka Lake Beach with extended family. The cabin was perfect for lots of little cousins to run around, have sleepovers and be loud together! ##### Tracy N. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Jim M. Jul 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy Our stay was nice. We were able to walk down to the lake and do some birding as well as enjoy the view. We were greeted by the owner shortly after arriving and he informed us of a faucet issue in the kitchen, which was managable to work with while he waited for the new faucet to arrive. Wifi was available however due to the location we had some issued with some of our cell phones having service. We were there from Sunday to Saturday so we pretty much had the site to ourselves until Thursday evening when one fisherman arrived. Then a few more showed up on Friday (no issues with this). The cabin could use some TLC to make it visually more pleasing and some more forks as it has 10 forks for a cabin that sleeps 15. If you are someone who likes to sit outside on the porch and take in the view this is not the cabin to do so. ##### Jim M. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### lavetta p. Jun 25, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### cute cabin this cabin is not close to the lake unless you have a boat. Their is a very small store on the property. And the Hostess is very nice. Quite place to stay. It does need some updating as up in the loft area their are two lamps one does not work and it very dark up their. Their is mice and ants so I recommend not leaving anything out for them to get into. Also there is nothing provided cooking wise like spices or salt or anything like that. Need to bring everything you will need. We left our items in the bins we brought with Has nice screened in porch but very hot could use some fans. and could either need sofa covers or new sofa. So if you are not real picky it is a fun place to stay. ##### lavetta p. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Tim S. Aug 19, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### DMK OG’s 2024 We really enjoyed our stay at the Ponderosa cabin. It’s a log cabin so electric outlets are scarce. The cabin is off of the main road by about 9 miles of small twisting paved roads making nighttime driving a challenge. A really nice setting for a relaxing few days. Gary is very accommodating. ##### Tim S.
