Welcome to the Bridge-view Suite at the Cataract Falls Lodge.
One spot of many that are walking distance from the lodge.
Bedding is paramount in any Airbnb and exceeding expectations is what we do.
There is no better way for a 100 year old tool box to enjoy retirement.
Marriott’s finest suites may have a kitchenette this cool. But probably not.

Very nice, clean and well-maintained property and lodging. Super close to Cataract Falls park. You can see the historic covered bridge and hear the falls from the rental space. Will definitely be back when we are in town visiting family.

Just what I needed

I needed a quiet place to stay for work, that was also fragrance free. I was very happy to hear the owner understood and made it easy to find the location. I enjoyed the waterfalls and hiking trails close by. I will definitely stay here again when I'm in the area if possible.Thank you so much for the hospitality!

Cozy Cottage

We really enjoyed our stay at this property! It was amazing and right next door to the Cataract Falls Park. It was beautiful, in fact we got to see it snowing before we left, and it really made us want to stay and sip on some hot chocolate while taking in the beautiful scenery! Unfortunately, Mondays have to come along and ruin all of the fun….

Trails

We stayed during the week. It was quiet and sufficient. Others may want to know that there is an electric skillet and hot plate in addition to the outdoor grill. We couldn't find the owners phone number as there might be a leak in front of the kitchen sink. Also the sheets did not look clean.

Beautiful Area and Cozy Accommadations

My wife and I were visiting as we are moving to the area and wanted to look around to see where we wanted to relocate to. My wife found this little gem during our search and simply put, it was quite nice. This little space packs a lot of utility in. Couldn't be happier with the way it was set up and actually got some ideas that we plan to take with us to utilize in some projects. This was well kept, the owner was communicative regarding the icy drive, and the nearby waterfall makes this a nice little place to stay and could easily have a small get together with friends and family with the outdoor patios. Will definitely stay again.

About the host

Hosted by William Kessler

Host profile image
Hi! I am Bill your host. I go by Captain Bill here around the lake. I moved here to Indianapolis shortly after participating in the 1987 Pan American Games playing Team Handball. I purchased this property with the sole purpose of making it what it is today. A vacation get-a-way for families and groups wanting to explore the amazing Cataract Falls State Recreation area. Becky, my girlfriend who goes by First Mate Becky, is my partner in this adventure and the both of us welcome you to experience all this area has to offer.

Why they chose this property

If you enjoy the outdoors, nature and adventure but equally enjoy the comforts of a fine hotel the Bridge-View Suite is the place for you. It's not a property designed for long stays but for a few days it is ideal for tranquility and rest or adventure into the Park. This Bridge-View Suite has its own outdoor area to include a patio and deck and along with private pavilion. Sit out, relax and listen to the falls in the background.

What makes this property unique

The Lodge is located at the entrance to the Cataract Falls State Recreation Area. An amazing park with two of the most spectacular waterfall features in the Midwest. Come for tranquility or come for an adventure. If you would like to host an event utilizing the connecting event veranda send a message and let’s discuss.
