The cabin was very clean and had everything we needed. Our dog loved the large lot to roam around. I would highly recommend it. The outdoor living space was outstanding. You are close to the Paynetown SRA which is a nice place for hiking, boating and fishing.

Great place for hiking in the Hoosier National Forest. Charles Deam wilderness area.

Great location. Beautiful weather so we had a lot of traffic going up the road but overall the place was awesome. The inside is quaint and the porch was a big winner.
