Cozy cabin
Excellent location and very well maintained property. Only word of caution is that if you stay in the upstairs room, sound carries from the entire house including the back porch so if you’re a light sleeper, this might not be the best spot to sleep.

Amazing!!
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!

Perfect Family Getaway
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!

Yearly Family Vacation
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!

Cleanest and most well-stocked rental ever!
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.

Beautiful cabin in a private beautiful setting.
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.

Fall Friend Getaway
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!
