About this property

Romantic couples retreat, close to golf, French Lick and Patoka Lake

427 sq ft log cabin ( NOT handicapped accessible) , 1 bedroom, 1 bath, sleeps 4 (queen bed downstairs & 2 XL twin beds in the loft , not suitable for small kids, use at your own risk) FIBER 1 gig Internet . For those wanting a rustic/rugged type get away with privacy but want to be close to town. Located off ST RD 56 just a 7 minute drive to French Lick! Less than 2 miles to the Donald Ross Golf Course! Smoking allowed outdoors only! Pets are allowed but there is a $25 pet fee per stay for them. Property has access to 55 wooded acreas with trails to hike. Terrain is rugged and can be challenging for some. Bathroom with step in shower. Kitchenette features apartment size refrigerator, microwave, 2 burner induction cook top, waffle maker and egg cooker. Coffee pot uses K cups (8 assorted provided per stay). Out door park style charcoal grill for the grill masters. There is a small pond on the property close to the highway. You can fish if you like. It was stocked with Hybrid bluegill & catfish recently which are growing at a slow rate as the pond is spring fed and very cool year round. There is however 1 large mouth bass who is likely to become a legend in many a fish story in the future. If you do catch him and have him mounted please let me know so I can replace him. You can also spend hours animal watching as this property has a wide variety of wildlife to be seen, a feeder is setup a short way from the cabin to draw in wildlife.. Take a walk on the 1.5 miles of rugged trails on the property (two benches are installed for relaxation). Linens and a starter kit of 1 roll of paper towel, 2 rolls of toilet paper, soap/shampoo and disposable salt/pepper shakers are furnished. Cellular service is available inside/outside the cabin when you enable wi-fi calling. Otherwise cellular service can be reached at the top of the hill behind the cabin. High speed fiber internet will allow you to stream videos, music, tv and movies on the Roku TV. You can work from the cabin if you like on your laptop or tablet.
Downtown French Lick is a 7 minute drive to the east. Lots of area for parking boats or trailers. The nearest boat ramp is Lick Fork Marina which is a 15 minute drive across county roads. Cabin is located in a secluded valley off Hwy 56 so there may be daytime road noise but nights are generally quiet.

Please note... There is a cave on the property with access strictly prohibited. Those with small children need to make certain they are aware they are not allowed to enter the cave as it is a small tight passage frequented by wild animals (bobcats) and is frequently flooded from rains far to the north. Also no ATVs or off road vehicles are allowed to be utilized on the property. This includes no biking on the trails. Call 812-639-4797 for questions regarding the cabin.

Expansion of the trails - 1 new trail added and 1 extended- please hike with care as these areas will be rough and may have small cut off stumps remaining.

Excellent cabin and property for the two of us with a small dog. Location is absolutely ideal for all of the area from French Lick to Jasper. The property was amazing, large, and perfect for wearing the dog out before bed time. Cabin was well stocked with interior essentials and plenty of firewood. Seating inside is “cozy” but honestly there’s so much to do out and about you barely notice until late evening. A property.

Quaint Getaway

The quaint getaway was a nice place to visit. I loved the clean little cabin that had just what you needed. The trails on the property are nice. I wish the cabin was a little further away from the state road, although there is plenty of privacy.

Anniversary weekend getaway

Loved the little cabin! It was exactly what my husband and I were wanting for our anniversary weekend. The fall mountain feel but not that far of a drive. Love that it was 6 minutes from French Lick and 25 minutes to Patoka. Cabin was clean and cozy and loved the country setting! Will definitely be back 😄

About the host

Hosted by Julie Miller

Host profile image
After decades of Nursing my husband and I built an Escape Room business which I now manage. We have since purchased this property with the desire to create an outdoor escape. Our first cabin was built by myself and my husband, a computer programmer enlisting assistance only to install the 3 main beams. The Countertop, shelves, coffee table were all made by us from a Cedar tree which had to be removed in order to build the fishing pond. A second cabin, fully off grid is in the process of being built far to the North of this current cabin. 1/2 mile from the nearest roadway.

Why they chose this property

This property was the original site of the town of Hillham and later was a camp ground. It’s a beautiful site with a small lake and wooded hills but also close to all of those must do’s on your list! My husband and I both grew up with a lot of space to run, hunt and explore. This property is our way of allowing couples, families, and kids to have the experience and wonder of experiencing the outdoors away from crowds of people. Sit for hours releasing milkweed seed, watching a box turtle wander through the woods, gazing at the spring running out of the cave. Just an opportunity to unwind and take a break from the day to day demands of our current society.

What makes this property unique

For those avid walkers, there are over 2 miles of rugged wooded trails on the property for you to explore. These trails are being further expanded and refined. For the animal lovers/bird watchers, there is an abundance of wild life including deer, squirrels, raccoons, and rabbits just to name a few. You might even see the elusive Bobcat! We have seen or captured images of 5 different bobcats on the property. Equine lovers, feel free to bring your horse, we have plenty of room for you to park a horse trailer. Renters are free to ride their horses on our trails. We are also establishing multiple mushroom plots and log totems. Next year we are expecting the start of a continued growth of Shitake, Oyster, and Lions Mane mushrooms. Morels are native and can be found throughout the property.
