My friends and I went to Holiday World for my 30th birthday and had a wonderful stay at the Potter Cottage! It was a great house to relax before and after visiting the amusement park. We had lovely meals in the big shared spaces, relaxing chats on the porch and deck, and slept like rocks in the comfy bedrooms. We'd definitely come back for another stay :)

Wonderful property!

We have stayed here several years and the property never disappoints. Close by to Holiday World. We like coming back to a nice, clean place to stay. Everyone can shower and relax at the end of the day. We don't have to be all crowded together. Plenty of space. The kids loved seeing all the frogs and we saw a couple of turtles in the pond too! The host is quick to respond and very helpful/accommodating. Thanks for creating so many memories for our family. We will be back next year!

Perfect for a group of 12

When checking into this home it was ready for us to move right in and just settle in like it was our own home no matter whether it was us as the grandparents or our youngest grandson it had everything we needed it was a nice quiet home with plenty of space for each one of us and even when relatives that we had in the area stopped by for a visit it was a great space to even entertain them. It's in great proximity to Holiday World with just jumping out on the main road that's in front of the house and driving straight in to their parking lot no turns no problems. Such a good experience for us that we went ahead and reserved it for the next year before we ever even checked out this year.

Holiday World with Friends

The house is beautiful and perfect for 2 families of 4. We did not feel crowded at all. It has a full kitchen, 2 full bathrooms and a shower downstairs. We love fishing and actually caught a bass. I would recommend you bring your own poles though. My only complaint is the beds were too firm. The Murphy bed downstairs seemed to be softer though but it was right next to the fun so I didn’t sleep there.

The property was listed beautifully and the pictures were very accurate! This was a peaceful place however it was not close to any local stores such as Walmart , although as stated it was close to holiday World which was close . Nearest store that we located was about 39-40min away, this was still a great trip
