"We absolutely loved this property and truly enjoyed our stay. We traveled with our family over Christmas and stayed through New Year’s Day. The home was spotless, well maintained, and offered plenty of space for our family of five.
The owners were wonderful—very kind and attentive, checking in periodically to ensure we had everything we needed.
Our primary reason for the trip was to visit Santa Claus, IN, and the location couldn’t have been better—just minutes away. We were also within two hours of Evansville and Kentucky, both of which offered plenty of activities and attractions.
We’re already planning a return trip this summer to visit Holiday World and explore the Indiana Caverns, and we would absolutely love to stay here again.
