Wedding weekend for in laws

My family and I came into town for my brother n law’s wedding and had a wonderful stay at Norma’s cottage! Norma was super accommodating and made our stay so comfortable. She also made sure our two little daughters were comfy and had what they needed. The house was very spacious and had plenty of room for our family of four plus my parents. Location was perfect and close to the Barn on Jericho. Communication was also very great! We will definitely be back to visit!

Calm and relaxing

We enjoyed a very calm an peaceful weekend. It was our 20 year wedding anniversary and we needed the time away. VRBO, however has a hot tub as an amenity and there is none with this cottage. Property manager said she had told them to remove but they haven't removed it yet. Overall it was a great weekend.

Relaxing but missing a room

Overall it was pretty great and perfect for the family to hand out. The only thing I noticed was lacking was the listing said 4 bedrooms and I only saw 3. The two twin size beds in a room were no where to be found. We didn't need them so it was not a huge deal to my group just something to look at before booking.

Country House

My three sisters and I really enjoyed the house. Everything was clean and all necessities were provided. The house is just located around the curve from the Schwartz Amish restaurant. We enjoyed the home cooked dinner buffet. The fried chicken was the bomb. Went back the next morning for breakfast and it was delicious also. Winzerwald Winery was really close to the house, we enjoyed it. We also went to the French Lick casino, 25 minutes away. I didn’t have any luck but my baby sister made out like a bandit! Lucky girl!! In all, a great weekend! Thanks Norma.

Really felt at home on vacation to Patoka Lake

Really nice and welcoming host! Quick access to the lake and nearby attractions. Plenty of room for many guest. Was able to have family over to visit that were staying at the Splash Park nearby. Books to read, brochures of nearby attractions, cornhole, Putt-Putt and bowling for the family. Beautiful flowers, and plenty of seating, inside and out. Located about 2 minutes down road from Swartz Restaurant. i would highly recommend staying there and we will be returning for future vacations as well!

We had a blast staying here a Norma’s Cozy Cottage! It’s in the perfect location right in the country & down the road from Patoka Lake which was perfect considering we were going boating. This place is perfect for a weekend getaway w friends & family and also very kid friendly! Norma is one of the kindest women you will ever meet, she was a fantastic host. We can’t wait to come back, if you’re thinking about staying, do it!!
