This is a very charming log home, feels very private while remaining close to everything in Indianapolis. The hosts thought of everything, it was an extremely comfortable stay! Spacious enough for a family, cozy enough for just me!
Our stay was so comfortable. The property is very pretty. The bed was so comfortable and there is plenty of space to stretch out . The house is off the main road. We were very comfortable there and we would stay again.
This home is amazing. It's listed as a two bedroom which it is however there are three floors and the cabin is very large. It's decorated perfectly being its a 200 year old cabin with modern touches that made it just amazing. The host are wonderful and the stay was flawless. The property is amazing to walk around and enjoy fresh air. The wildlife can be found around ever turn including to our surprise someone's barn cat. We enjoyed eagles, hawks, wren, deer and even coyotes. Thxs

Thanks for the kind words, Along with the wild life it's good to know that the black & white cat is still OK. He has been coming around for over 5 years. We do hope you get e chance to come back.
Richard and Marsha have a beautiful place to share. Upon arrival they gave us fresh asparagus grown on the property and they were delicious. The house is so comfortable and stocked with everything you could think of. My husband caught and released some nice bass for the next person. I enjoyed the swing and row boat. Pizza from The Ordinary was awesome. We enjoyed a nice round of golf at Valle Vista and didn't do too bad at the casino and horse racing in Shelbyville. We hope to come back again some day.

Thanks so much for your kind words and description of our home. Believe it or not your review means a lot to us. We do try to provide a memorable experience.
Please come back any time.
Exactly what we needed and wanted. Nature, quiet, beautiful home, had everything we needed and more. Fish (other than bait fish) weren't biting but figured it was just too early in the year yet. We will be back!
An incredible cabin that was very clean and well decorated. I was thrilled with the kitchen and its equipment. It was like home. We are looking forward to staying again in the future.
Our hosts were very cordial. The weather was severe and they phone us to see if we were ok. It was a comforting feeling being far from our home. Everything was perfect - we loved the HH.
Our home away from home in Indiana. This is a really special place. Beautiful scenery and wildlife. The house is a unique historical property with all the comforts of home.

This area was so cute, not hard to get to and very homely. Being able to just relax while it was raining was so lovely, would stay here again in a heartbeat.
Great repeat visit. We stayed in the winter 2024 and came back again in the summer 2025. Property is great in all seasons! Plenty of room for a family dinner.
Magical! Exactly what I needed and wanted. I can’t believe how close to Indy this is but yet in the country. The hosts did an amazing job restoring this 200 year old farmhouse, but yet it has all of today’s modern requirements. Great kitchen and propane gas grill for meals. The pond was a delight to watch the birds and the turtles! Wonderful grounds to walk especially with the spring flowers. Very quiet to listen to the birds and read on the deck. It was chilly one night so the gas fireplace was perfect. I had a couple of questions and Richard was so quick to respond. Even a Kroger just a few minutes away if you forgot something. And the added touch of spring flowers in a vase and chocolates in a bowl showed the attention to detail for their guests. I want to come back in every season!

Why they chose this property
We located this original hand hewn log home in southern Indiana and learned that it was built in 1817. it was soon to be destroyed by the owner, as it had become a safety hazard.. To salvage and preserve this important bit of history, we took the home apart log by log and transported it in late 1972 to its present location . After two years of construction it became livable in the fall of 1974. You will find a picture album in the home showing how the home was disassembled, transported and rebuilt at the present location. Although the house has retained the original footprint, the interior has been updated two times since the reconstruction; the latest was completed early this year of 2019. After 45 years of living here, we have decided to open the home for more people to experience just a bit of history in this modern environment.
