Have you ever traveled and forgotten those few small things?? Well this place has you covered!! They have anything and everything you may need to have a great stay. The cabin itself is gorgeous! Set back in the woods with small streams that are so peaceful to listen to. I highly recommend this for a family get away. An adult getaway. It would be great for anything. Plus great communication from the owners and house keeper. Added bonus…the house keeper left fresh baked bread and farm eggs. Such a nice touch. A plus in our books!

We stayed with my grandchildren for a Polar Express weekend, the cabin was perfect, the location was ideal. It was so nice for my grandchildren to play. They enjoyed the hot tub on the screened in porch. The kitchen was wonderful for us to prepare our meals. We had a lovely time.

This was the perfect cabin for our extended family to meet for a weekend. Everything was spotless when we arrived and Debbie, the owner, was super helpful answering all questions before we arrived and with making sure we had everything we needed once we arrived.

Just a wonderful experience. My wife and I with two adult daughters and their families with grandchildren! Private bedrooms for the adults and a bunk room for the kids. The children loved counting all the owls! The property and cabin are just beautiful and fully stocked with helpful notes on everything. We were attending a wedding in the area and this was close but still secluded. Outstanding!

Our yearly vacation with 5 grandchildren, two adult children and their spouses. This home was very clean and well stocked. The owner, Debbie, came by to show us around the house. My grandsons loved playing with the Lincoln Logs and the family played with some of the other available games. We even had fresh eggs from the housekeeper. We enjoyed making S’Mores at the fire pit - the wood was provided. We had a great time!

My group of friends does a cabin weekend together every year somewhere new and we stumbled upon this cabin on VRBO not knowing anything about the area but took a chance! This was truly the cleanest rental I have ever stayed in (and I’ve stayed in plenty) and the kitchen/bathrooms were so well stocked and organized. This place had literally *everything* we needed and much more. Debbie and Butch communicated great and give you all the information you’ll ever need for a great stay. Would 100% stay again and recommend to anyone looking for a rental in the area.

The Wise Old Owl comes with lots of charm and comfy beds. The awesome log cabin has a nice big front porch, absolutely an ideal settling to enjoy your morning coffee. My parents along with three of my adult siblings and three in-laws (9 total) all fit around the kitchen table and had plenty of room to thoroughly enjoy the tastefully decorated cabin. A bunch of us enjoyed a nice long walk on the gravel road. My parents really appreciated using the nice walking sticks, that were left on the sid of the cabin. If ever we return to this area, we would definitely stay here again.

We had a perfect fall couple friends get away at the Wise Old Owl Cabin! Everything was exactly as we hoped, and the Porters communicated well and thought of every detail! We would love to go back again with family. There was plenty to do from visiting French Lick, spelunking, hiking, and having campfires at the cabin. We loved our time there, and we made great memories! Thank you to The Porters and Rita, the housekeeper who made a visit personally to answer any questions we might have and show us around when we arrived. Anyone considering visiting the area would love this cabin experience in this beautiful part of Indiana!

Our family books a vacation home every summer and I must say this home is a magnificent place to stay. Off the beaten path this property is a paradise of peace and quiet. From hot tub at the end of the day to waking up with a cup of coffee on the front porch listening to the birds in the morning. I would recommend this home to anyone who is looking for a place to relax. Also Patoka lake is close by for those who like to fish or participate in other water activities! Great place!!!

Everything you need
This host has really taken steps above and beyond typical, specifically with the guest experience in mind. The cabin was well-appointed with everything you need, including the things you didn’t think you needed and forgot to bring with you. The property was lovely - serene, private, scenic. The lodging was clean, comfortable, and charming. Hot tub was clean and well-maintained. They had cornhole and ladder all sets for use. We will definitely be back!

We found the property owners to be available and helpful at check-in.
The cabin was clean and very well equipped. It made meal preparation so much easier than other places we've stayed.
The multiple grills were helpful too.
The fire pit, with it's ample wood, was a hit.
Some of us took advantage of the hot tub.
We enjoyed our stay and will have good memories of our time there.

Cousins Reunion -- Eight 1st cousins and spouses stayed 2 nights but we had 24 attend the reunion.
Lovely, quiet, well supplied and furnished.
We had two observations: the beds required steps to enter and exit and the basement is cold.
The WOO is comfortable. Thanks!

Wonderful Getaway
We stayed for only a short weekend with extended family and enjoyed the property!
There is not an appliance or utensil that we couldn't find, the place is more well stocked than my kitchen at home! The linens were ample, even for the hot tub and the washer/dryer combo was wonderful after a rainy day of hiking with teenagers who like to "explore". Even with the remoteness we ventured into French Lick for an adults only evening out and felt safe with the kids staying back at the cabin. The location is remote, the property spotless and the experience one of a kind!

We were so impressed with this cabin! We were impressed with the cleanliness, with the thoughtfulness of all the amenities, and with the location. One criticism that we have is the basement bathroom being in a storage room. You have to go through the bedroom downstairs to get to it. For anyone staying in the dorm-style basement on one of the multiple beds, they have to pass through the separate bedroom. Inconvenient for parents to be sure. It's a minor issue compared to how amazing the rest of the property is. However the bathroom adjoins the downstairs bedroom and the shower makes you feel like a giant in a tiny person's house. Aside from that the property was really well maintained and was just as described. We would totally stay there again. We had a family of nine and the house sleeps an additional seven. There was plenty of room for everybody. Thanks so much to the owners and the staff for a wonderful stay at the owl cabin.
