This property is like an old friend and is an excellent value. Communication with our host was easy and all our questions were answered promptly. We had everything we needed and more to keep adults and kids off their screens and engaged with each other. Lots to see within an easy drive, good fishing, board games, extra towels and blankets, cleaning supplies were all there. We are already planning our next visit.

Cardinal house was clean, peaceful and relaxing. There was plenty of wood for the woodburning fireplace and there were only 4 old ladies but we enjoyed sitting in our rocking chairs, sipping coffee and enjoying the peaceful atmosphere. This would be a great place for families to enjoy a family "campout" without having to worry with tents and dragging the camping gear.. the kitchen is fully equipped with plenty of cooking pots and pans. It is a good ways from town so bring everything with you. Ice, water, food and snacks. It was a bit difficult to find and we have asked host to improve signage so hopefully it will be better marked.

Spent a week just burning wood and enjoying the area, nothing fancy just an old cabin with great nostalgia. Will definitely keep going back.

Relaxing few days

Thank you so much for a very nice few day stay there in the Cardinal cabin! We had a ton of fun riding the back roads, fishing, and golf. It was exactly what we needed for a quick work retreat. The host was excellent…..she even came and cleaned up some boxes of mess we had left in the patio area (which was a really nice surprise to come back to). Thanks again for an awesome stay!

Best Southern Indiana Gem

Perhaps my 12th time visiting the Cardinal Cabin and it never disappoints. Although this was my first time visiting during the warm summer months, and it does get warm in the cabin. They provided AC units, which helped out! This place is an absolute treasure if you need to get away from it all, including technology! Magical! Jenny

A Southern Indiana Gem

I rented the Cardinal Cabin for group of 8 childhood friends that had not had any significant time together in decades. It was everything I wanted it to be. Secluded in nature, it was quiet, peaceful, and relaxing. River access was icing on the cake Although we spent the majority of our time outdoors, the cabin was inviting, comfortable, and clean, with plenty of room for guests. The kitchen was perfect for preparing large meals. 5/5 highly recommend for anyone looking for a place to enjoy time with friends & family all while enjoying the great outdoors!

No surprises

Cabin was exactly as listed. Huge interior, plenty of seating, good water pressure, and very helpful host. Weather was only downer, but that can't be helped. Porch screens need some maintenance, but never had 1 mosquito bite, so no complaints. Overall it was as I expected.
