About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The cottage on the hill in the woods

Welcome to our home away from home! Located at the end of a short gravel drive, our cottage is conveniently located near many local attractions, restaurants and shopping. It is just 3.8 miles to the French Lick Casino, 5 miles to the West Baden Springs Resort, 6 miles to Paoli Peaks and 15 miles to Patoka Lake or Hoosier National Forest.

Though it is easy to get to, once you arrive you'll be surrounded by woods on your own private 5 acres.

Spend your day relaxing on the porch listening to nature, going for a walk in the woods or enjoying yourself sitting around the fire pit (free firewood included with each stay!) If you do venture out, you can check out all the area has to offer. There is a winery, antique and artisan shops, restaurants, putt-putt golf and much more to see and do!

When inside, you can turn on the flat screen TV to watch one of the streaming services or live TV while using our free Wi-Fi and included Amazon Firestick.


*For the safety and security of the property and our guests, we have a ring doorbell at the front door.

Our little cabin has a 4 person max capacity, including visitors. If you require a space for more than 4 people, unfortunately we won't be able to accept your reservation. Please note, the driveway is narrow and gravel. If you have a boat or a larger vehicle than a truck, such as an RV there is not adequate space to maneuver it up the drive or a place to turn it around so we ask you to find an alternative place to park those vehicles in town or at Patoka Lake.

We enjoyed the cottage in the woods
We had traveled to French Lick to meet family from Tennessee for a mini-reunion. We are in our 70s and 80 so the bathrooms and small bedrooms were a little difficult for us to maneuver but were suitable. The linens and towels were very comfortable. We did like the location for it's peace and quiet and closeness to the town. The property manager was helpful and willing to communicate. We would recommend a stay at the cottage on the hill.

Cabin on the hill in the woods
This cabin is nestled in the woods which means lots of quiet and peaceful sounds but yet not far from the town. Cabin was really cute and perfect for a girl's getaway. Cabin was very clean. Beds were extremely comfortable which to me is rare. I slept better here than at home. The host was really nice and always replied to any questions quickly. Seen lots of deer in the area. I highly recommend this cabin if you want a quiet getaway. I would definitely stay here again.

It's about as advertised a small cozy little cabin. Clean enough and a perfect little spot for a getaway vacation. Driveway needs some work though.

We had an amazing time. The property was very clean. The amenities were above and beyond what we expected. The owner was prompt in any communication we had. I would highly recommend staying here. We all had a wonderful time. It felt like you were deep in the woods but only 5 minutes to town. The best of both worlds.

Perfect solitude
I live near Indianapolis with lots of light/noise pollution. My goal was to get away to nature... see the stars and no planes, trains and automobiles in the background. Mission accomplished. The cabin was clean, and well stocked and just adorable. I made some "forever memories" and I'm grateful for my time away in the woods.

Quaint & Peaceful
HOH is a very quaint, quiet, peaceful little slice of paradise located perfectly out of town in the country, but not too far from French Lick. We've visited for the last two years for our family's annual "girls weekend." Lots to do in the area but we usually drive to an Amish restaurant during our stay, which is less than an hour away. Amenities are wonderful; outside fire pit and nightlights are perfection. Owner, Noah, is wonderful to work with and does an excellent job communicating.

Listing was very accurate. Property manager responded promptly to all communications. While the property was located in a secluded wooded location, it had all the comforts of home. Perfect location to celebrate our 45th anniversary. Loved it!

Nice stay
Nice little cabin, has everything you need. It’s quiet and secluded but still close to everything (Patoka Lake and casino). Just be prepared for the owner to text you and question you on the number of guest you have. He apparently has a nosey neighbor that will call him if you have one extra vehicle show up for just a visit. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay and the owners were pleasant to deal with.
