Scenic Escape: River Paradise

Enjoy your morning coffee with a scenic river view from the front deck and listen to the peaceful sounds of nature. Spend time with your loved ones around the fire pit or challenge them to a game of bumper pool in the sunroom. Located only 5 minutes from local restaurants and 25 minutes to French Lick. Great for fishermen with additional parking spot for a small boat (17’ x 48’). The public White River ramp in Shoals and West Boggs Lake are only a short drive away.

The space
Cozy 2 bedroom home with large front deck and fire pit facing the White River. Cottage has large front porch and outdoor area on a hill for expansive river views. A deck has been added on river bank for fishing and steps for water access. Large yard has plenty of room for lawn games or activities. Includes washer and dryer, games, puzzles, darts, and a bumper pool table.

Bedroom 1: Queen bed
Bedroom 2: Double bed

Close proximity to the essentials but far enough for peace and quiet. Restaurants 5 minutes away. Drive to French Lick is less than half an hour.

17’x48’ Gravel parking pad for a trailer or boat. No circle or turnaround, must back in trailer. See photos.

Very pleasant experience. The house is well equipped in the kitchen. Bathroom was very well stocked. Bedrooms were comfortable could maybe use room darken shades but that’s just my personal preference. The area was very relaxing and quiet. My dogs loved that they could be with me and hubby. Thank you for the memories. Happy Easter. Kim, Luis, Oz and Ladon.
Ladon enjoyed the yard and view
Oz and Ladon could stay outside all morning.

The house was great! Very clean and cute, and just as listed. View of the river was nice, and we enjoyed drinking coffee on the deck in the morning. Nice amenities. Only issue was the WiFi. We got the TV in the game room to work, but not the living room. Katrina was great with communication though. We would definitely stay again!
