Loved the remote location! Everyone took full advantage of the pool, hot tub, massage chairs, and sauna. The grill was very cool, we've nicer cooked on something like that before. We enjoyed the fire pit and view of the stars as well. Would definitely stay here again.
This is a perfect location for outdoor activities. You can walk to Shades and Pine Hills nature preserve. There is everything you need even though we had unexpected SNOW we enjoyed the retreat!
This property was great for a multi-generational weekend getaway. We loved the pool and hot tub and enjoyed the fireplace in the evenings. I cannot recommend this location and hosts enough.

About the host
Hosted by Gabriel Fauquher
Gabe and Liza have a mutual passion for maintaining this unique log cabin. Gabe is a semi-retired airline pilot and Liza psychotherapist and yoga teacher.
Why they chose this property
In 2015 we spent about a year building a small, cozy space for wellness, yoga and recreation in the wilderness of western Indiana. We purchased this log cabin surrounded by 6000 acres of gorgeous old growth forest, rivers, canyons, pure silence and serenity because our vision was to combine Liza's work as a Psychotherapist and Yoga Instructor with Gabe's work as a Naturopathic Doctor specializing in nutrition and wild plants
