The room and property were in excellent condition. Very quiet and peaceful place to stay. The kitchen was fully equipped for making your own meals . A short walk to the upper falls and a longer but manageable walk to the lower falls.

Great for two!
My friend and I met in the Indianapolis area for a girls weekend when she had a conference - and it’s halfway for each of us. We booked this due to value/price and wanting to try something different. The falls and surround area are amazing - make sure to see the upper and lower. The owners are great in communication and made access easy. The rental itself was clean and provided everything we needed. It is not Indianapolis adjacent, which it doesn’t claim to be, but the driving didn’t bother us. Just be aware of that, and it is obvious from the map. The pull down bed was comfortable. The kitchen had all necessities and a couple extras. The bathrooms were very tidy. Great for 2 nights for two friends. I could see two couples making it work as well or a small family. Probably not ideal for very young children, speaking as a mom. But a great property and I’d recommend it to friends. It was cold so we went able to utilize the beautiful deck and outdoor areas which would be wonderful in spring/summer.

Indiana/cataract falls vacation
My family and I were traveling through Indiana for our family vacation/road trip and chose to stay here because their pics looked very well kept. It was a great stay and we felt safe there. It was nice to stay so close to see the waterfalls at the cataract falls.

Just lovely...
This property is clean, comfortable, and has all the comforts of home. It is close to the state parks. We enjoyed the Cataract Falls, as well as the Lieber State Park facilities. Our children were happy and so were we. Communication with Bill was quick and efficient. We will definitely be coming back.

Beautiful locaton
Loved the location by the falls! Located perfectly between Mac Cormick's Creek State Park and Lieber Rec. Area. The kids loved swimming in the lake over the pool. We didn't go to your pool. Thanks for the invite. Maybe next time. The place was perfect for the 5 of us and had a great time. We'll be back. Thank you so much!! Debbie

Great little suite
The suite was exactly as stated in other reviews! I figured it might be noisy as its very close to entrance to Cataract, but it's just far enough away that you don't hear any noise! Newly built fountain/firepit/pavilion area was wonderful & I wish I had it at my own house. 😀 Very clean & friendly environment! Actually got to meet Bill, that was a nice addition just to know he was available if we needed anything or had problems. Our only issues were figuring out how to work lock codes on door..lol..& walls between suites were very thin, we could hear the people next door snoring but was ok as we also snore.😂 Would definitely stay again!

Cute & Cozy
This was an amazing place to stay! The views were beautiful and it was peaceful. We were able to walk to the covered bridge and Cataract Falls from our place. The outdoor area off the back was exceptionally nice. Had the weather been better, we would’ve utilized that. But I could see that being a great place to sit in the Summer. The general store is right down the road and it’s a neat place to visit. Overall the place was perfect and can’t wait to go back!
