About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Adorable cottage. You will not find a better direct view of Patoka Lake.

This is a one story cottage with a raw cedar interior finish offering incredible panoramic views of Patoka Lake. Perfect for enjoying the outdoors and each other. You will not find another place with a comparable view of this body of water. Take the short walk to the water's edge. Sit on the covered front porch with ceiling fans (discourages bugs) to be entertained by the activity of the marina and be wowed by Mother Nature's nightly artistry of sunsets. Spacious boat parking and only 1.5 miles from the Osborne Ramp. A little over 4 miles from Patoka Lake State Park Main Entrance and Patoka Lake Winery. 11 miles to French Lick which features a casino, golf courses, go karts, indoor water park, winery, and restaurants. We are just 25 minutes from Paoli Peaks and 40 minutes to Holiday World. Due to the unique rural location of this property there is no wifi and limited cell service. Depending upon your perspective, this can turn into quite a blessing!!
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned cottage, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
Enjoy recreation amenities such as a water park or take in the view from a garden.
Guests will find features like onsite parking.

Great Location

Dan was great. The property is very conveniently located. It's clean and has all the necessary amenities. No Wi-Fi but he makes that very clear in the listing. So be prepared to be off the grid or have a better phone provider than AT&T. We will be back.

Perfect getaway

The location is perfect! The place is adorable and super clean. I was tickled by the things they had available in the kitchen and bathroom in case you didn’t have them yourself, that’s really thoughtful and caring. We were grateful it was so easy to stay here having brought a boat and there being room to park it. We really enjoyed our stay here!

Perfect for a fisherman.

The cabin was very clean and ideal for my needs. Parking is great for your vehicle and a boat. Couldn't use the carport as it was being used to store a couple boats, but that was not a problem. Close to Painter Creek boat ramp which is outstanding. It's a small cabin, but for a couple or just one person, it's perfect. Couldn't be happier.
