Scenic Escape: River Paradise

Enjoy your morning coffee with a scenic river view from the front deck and listen to the peaceful sounds of nature. Spend time with your loved ones around the fire pit or challenge them to a game of bumper pool in the sunroom. Located only 5 minutes from local restaurants and 25 minutes to French Lick. Great for fishermen with additional parking spot for a small boat (17’ x 48’). The public White River ramp in Shoals and West Boggs Lake are only a short drive away.

The space
Cozy 2 bedroom home with large front deck and fire pit facing the White River. Cottage has large front porch and outdoor area on a hill for expansive river views. New deck added on river bank for fishing and steps for water access. Large yard has plenty of room for lawn games or activities. Includes washer and dryer, games, puzzles, darts, and a bumper pool table.

Bedroom 1: Queen bed
Bedroom 2: Double bed

Close proximity to the essentials but far enough for peace and quiet. Grocery store and restaurants 5 minutes away. Drive to French Lick is less than half an hour.

17’x48’ Gravel parking pad for a trailer or boat. No circle or turnaround, must back in trailer. See photos.

Family Reunion in French Lick
The cabin is spotless and well appointed. We enjoyed our stay - our activities were mostly in French Lick, but it's not a bad drive, although it is VERY dark at night, lol. The weather was still nice enough in October that we were able to sit outside for awhile in the evening and enjoy the river view. We also traveled to Loogootee and enjoyed Stoll's Lakeview restaurant, the home-cooked meal was wonderful. A lighter weight blanket would be nice for the bedroom with the double bed - the quilt is a little too heavy for warm weather and the sheet was not enough. We would return if gatherings bring us to the area in the future.

Wonderful getaway
The weather might not have been the best but we had the best weekend. Woke up to no power which forced us to venture into town to eat, the highly recommended Mexican restaurant. 10/10 I see why it’s a favorite. We had so much fun playing bumper pool, which we probably wouldn’t have if it wasn’t raining. Beautiful house! Got to meet Lady who was just so adorable and friendly. Would definitely come back.

Our family has been through a hard month with my brother passing from cancer so we decided to just get away from everything and regroup. The trip was myself, my boyfriend, and our two teen kids. It was great we left one time to get groceries for the three nights we were there. We did nothing but hang out and play games the entire time. Never once heard im bored and nobody answered phones or messages it was great. So glad this rental is pet friendly so my daughter could bring her dog as she had not let it go since the news of her uncle. It was a much needed regroup/recharge extended weekend.

Visit with granddaughter
After a hectic day visiting with granddaughter, it was so nice to be able to just sit and relax and enjoy the front porch. Very quiet neighborhood. We heard the woodpecker pecking and birds singing. Overall a very relaxing stay

Beautiful getaway
We fell in love with the house the minute we drove up the driveway. The host left coozies with snacks. The wild flowers out front were so beautiful. There were butterflies, a hummingbird, tons of birds and a chipmunk. The kids loved the playroom. We played bumper pool, darts and they enjoyed watching TV in there. In the living room we found Yarzee and played a round. The queen size bed was so comfy. The laundry came in handy so we didn't have to bring as many clothes. We sat on the porch every morning looking at the river. In the evenings the lightning bugs were the most amazing sight I have ever seen. Overall I would highly recommend to anyone who plans to stay in the area.

Fantastic cottage overlooking the river
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Scenic Escape. The home was clean and the host had thoughtfully provided extra amenities. The guys loved playing darts and bumper pool. The home has a large deck which overlooks the river. The area is peaceful and quiet. We loved the wildflowers with butterflies and bees during the day. And the lightning bugs at night were a sight to see. The host was very responsive. The book provided by the host gave us local recommendations and home instructions which made everything easy and enjoyable. We highly recommend this home and look forward to staying again if we are ever in the area.

Get away
Isolated as I wanted. Wi Fi was hit and miss and so was cell service but that was okay. Wish I received check out instructions before we arrived. Did not receive them until we left since Wi Fi was spotty. Overall a good stay.
