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!

The cabin is minutes from Indy, but it seems as quiet as a cabin in the woods. The pond is right outside the lower level door. The kitchen is well stocked and clean. The kitchen table has a view of the water. Bedrooms and bathrooms are all very clean and comfortable. It was a return trip for us and we would stay here again.

Our family had a great time at the house! If you like history, nature, and staying at a place where you want to enjoy doing things with your family on location rather than having to drive different places and paying more money, than this is the place! Campfires, playing board games, fishing , exploring, that's what a family vacation is to me and this house delivers. We had everything we needed and were very greatful to have the opportunity to stay and this home.we have stayed at plenty VRBO homes in Indiana and Kentucky, and my kids said this was there favorite yet! Thanks so much for the memories!

About the host

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.
