Tower Ridge Camp. A Cabin in Hoosier National Forest and near Lake Monroe.

Located in Heltonville, Indiana. Minutes away from Monroe Lake and many boat ramps. Cabin is a great retreat for couples, or outdoorsy people. Cozy 394 square foot studio cabin with direct assess to Hoosier National Forest & Deam Wilderness. Biking, hiking, and horse trails right outside the door. If you enjoy camping, boating, fishing, kayaking you will love this. Short drive to Bloomington and Brown County State Park. Special features include, a double bunk bed setup with full beds, a full sized futon, Roku Tv, DVD player, 2nd outside shower, and large parking area with 2-30 amp RV hookups. Small outdoor Weber grill and fire pit are provided. You will need to bring your own wood for fire pit. I do not supply wood.

This cabin is a quaint small red cabin in the woods. It has access to 202,814 acres, 266 miles of hiking, horseback riding & mountain bike trails in Hoosier National Forest right outside your door with connecting trails to Brown County State Park. You can hike to the lake if you want a nice long hike. This is perfect for people who love to hike, mountain bike, fish, boat, kayak and camp. Also note that the living space is a studio style cabin. The cabin has a full bathroom with stand up shower. Plus outdoor shower as well. Great after hiking. It does have a small water heater so quick showers are needed. This space has a Double futon and 2 full size mattress bunk beds. It can accommodate up to 5 people max. The outdoor shelter house is one of the cabins best features. Plenty room for a great picnic and s’mores over the fire pit. Also if you have a boat or camper there is a circular drive around cabin for easy turn around and plenty parking.

The cabin is approximately only 100 yards off SR 446. Cabin has no direct neighbors. It is surrounded by woods. Cabin is located approximately 25 minutes from Indiana University Campus. Conveniently located 4 miles from Cutright or Paynetown boat launching ramp and Lake Monroe.

Please be aware we do have one small security camera in the door keypad. It activates when keypad is touched. You can request it to be turned off.

Food: Trailhead pizza (with great Karaoke), Scenic View Restaurant, and ample places if you go into Bloomington.
Gas and Groceries: The Heltonville Deli and Grocery in Heltonville. The fishing Shed in Bloomington. A couple miles away. The Dollar General in Bedford. About 7 miles away. Bloomington is not a far drive if you want more selection.
Shopping: 14 miles to College Mall in Bloomington
Lake Monroe 4 miles away

*** If you used the fire pit, please make sure the fire is out before you leave premises. Also please bring firewood.

***Please do not use or lite fire pit under shelter house. It makes a horrible mess. If you do you may be subject to $100 cleaning fee. It cause major soot build up.

This is not fancy but has absolutely everything you need for comfort. We enjoyed gorgeous hikes in single digit weather (we are hardy, lol) and then a fun game night. We even watched a movie. This is hands down one of our favorite places to go.
