Great house. Quiet location. Close to hiking trails.

My best friend and I stayed at this property for a weekend hiking trip at Fall Creek Falls State Park. We were very close to Sparta as well. We loved the house and thought it was perfect for our stay. Thank you for taking such good care of us and having some nice amenities and snacks available. We highly recommend this property to anyone else looking for a place to stay in the area!

Loved this property. Very clean and beautiful home. Did have to message the owner to ask about access to the creek, got a response very quickly. Very quiet, big enough for a large family! We traveled about 4 hours to visit Fall Creek Falls, will definitely return if the opportunity arises!

Nice and quiet

We stayed 2 nights in the property. We explored Fall Creeks Fall and Twin Falls at Rock Island State Park. Both waterfalls were beautiful. The house we stayed was very cleaned and spacious for our family of 7. The location is within reasonable distance of both state parks.

Clean and quaint

Actually, my wife and I only needed someplace to lay our heads at night, so we really didn’t need a lot of extras. The home appears to be the parsonage of an older church building. Kinda cute. If you have kids or larger pets, you may have issues with the small yard space and the proximity to the road. As a plumber, I notice different things. One of the shower faucets has a bad, improperly installed cartridge and is difficult to adjust. Otherwise no complaints.

Good Find!

This place was exactly what my family and I needed to have our own space, cook our own food, and just relax together! It was super helpful to be able to do a couple loads of laundry, and have separate spaces: den vs. living room, for different activities. A perfect distance between State Parks and our friends we came to visit. Thankfully, the road it's situated on was not super busy and we were able to enjoy walking the back of the property, with creek and such. As an aside: we opted to use the oven instead of grill as the propane was not set up and the heating element was pretty rusty/grill needed cleaned out, etc. But good selection of pots/pans, dishware & utensils - even Keurig type coffee machine!
