About this property

Luxury Yurt w/Pond, Sauna, Fire-pit, Garden, Stars

Stillwater is designed around a simple truth. The body knows how to heal when the environment is right. Here, nature does the work. Quiet mornings by the water. Forest air, birdsong, firelight, and time that finally slows down. You begin to breathe differently. Thoughts soften. Sleep comes easier. Stillwater is not an escape. It's a reset. A reminder of how good you're meant to feel.

---------

🌿 Arriving

The last mile to Stillwater is gravel. The trees close in, the sky widens, and the world you came from begins to fall away. The yurt comes into view with warm light through the windows, the pond beyond, the sauna settled into the trees.

You park beside the yurt. Step out. The first thing you notice is what isn't there.

No traffic. No noise. No rush.

Just the woods, the water, and a stillness you can feel in your chest.

---------

Everything inside is designed to soften your pace the moment you walk in. No excess. No noise. Just ease.

---------

🌻 The Grounds

Step outside and the experience blooms.

- Wood-fired sauna with waterfront views

- Moonlit pond surrounded by forest with sweeping seasonal views

- Outdoor daybed made for long naps and slow afternoons

- Fire pit for cool nights under dark Indiana skies

- Grill and outdoor dining area

- Fishing access and exceptional stargazing

Evenings are where Stillwater becomes unforgettable. Firelight, sauna heat, star-filled skies, and a silence that feels alive rather than empty. This is what guests call magical.

It's also just a Tuesday night here.

Set at the edge of Hoosier National Forest near the Lost River basin, one of Indiana's longest underground rivers. Stillwater feels genuinely remote while remaining completely accessible.

4 miles and 7 minutes to French Lick

French Lick Resort and West Baden Springs Hotel are nearby

Dining, wineries, golf, hiking, Patoka Lake, and historic attractions are all within easy reach





🚗 Personal vehicle recommended. 5 miles from French Lick. AWD or 4WD advised in rain, snow, or ice.

Stillwater is a living forest. Wildlife, changing weather, and natural conditions are part of the experience, not distractions from it. The yurt is fully sealed, professionally weatherproofed, air-filtered, and maintained year-round so you can be completely immersed in nature without sacrificing comfort.

Best suited for couples and solo guests seeking quiet, connection, and restoration. No parties or large gatherings.

Most guests arrive carrying more than their bags.

They leave lighter. Genuinely, quietly refreshed. The kind that doesn't fade when you hit the highway. Most are already planning their return before they reach the end of the gravel road.

Your reset is waiting. Check your dates and book while they're still available.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
Stillwater is independently owned and personally cared for. I created this space because I believe rest, nature, and simplicity matter more than most of us are given room for. Hosting allows me to share a place that’s meant to help you slow down, breathe easier, and feel genuinely at ease. You can expect a thoughtfully maintained space, clear communication, and a stay that feels calm, private, and intentional from start to finish.

Why they chose this property

I chose this location for its balance. The land sits quietly in the rolling hills of Hoosier National Forest, surrounded by trees, water, wildlife, and dark skies, yet it’s only minutes from French Lick and West Baden. You get real quiet here — the kind shaped by forest and distance — while still having easy access to dining, wineries, golf, hiking, and historic sites. It’s a place where you can explore during the day and return to stillness at night.

What makes this property unique

Stillwater isn’t designed to impress — it’s designed to restore. A handcrafted waterfront yurt, a wood-fired sauna, firelight, fresh air, and intentional simplicity create an environment where your nervous system can finally settle. Everything here supports slower mornings, deeper sleep, and a sense of presence that’s hard to find elsewhere. It’s less about amenities and more about how you feel while you’re here.
