    About Us

    A visit here is a step back in time...

    This beautiful privately owned 40 acre property is conveniently located just five minutes from Turkey Run State Park and only ten miles from Shades State Park, and Rockville, Indiana.


    We have three guest houses - The Main Cabin (sleeps 2 - 10), Hilltop House (sleeps 2 - 7), and Spring House (sleeps 2 in twin beds), sit adjacent to the historic Wilkins Mill Covered Bridge ( #35) located one block east of U.S. Highway 41 in World Famous Parke County Indiana, the Covered Bridge Capital of the WORLD.


    Originally a general  store, the historic Main Cabin  takes its name from the former gristmill built by George Wilkins in 1828. It still has its original poplar siding, complete with square nails! It is paneled inside with original hand milled lumber and has random width pine floors. Surrounded by 40 acres of peaceful, private wooded land on Sugar Mill Creek, this property offers plenty of room for outdoor activities like hiking on the private trails, enjoying smores around the campfire, and viewing the Milky Way with thousands of stars that city dwellers never see. Create priceless memories with friends and family here.

    Main Cabin Accommodation Details:

    With a large, open floor plan to comfortably accommodate two to ten guests (all bedding and linens provided), inside you'll find a large wood burning fireplace with a fine offering of local artwork, books, games, artifacts, and antiques complimenting the unique history, charm and character of this rustic property.


    For your comfort, modern amenities in the Main Cabin include:


    • Year-round AC/Heat

    • Modern bath with whirlpool tub and shower plus an additional powder room.

    • Large dressing room/changing area adjacent to the main bath.

    • Fully equipped kitchen - including gas stove, refrigerator, microwave, dishes, and cookware. Paper goods and plastic ware provided.

    • Dining tables in main cabin and on the screened porch.

    • Land line telephone, Satellite Dish TV/VCR/DVD. 


    NOTE: The Main Cabin is located 10' from our charming 1877 constructed Spring House location (which sleeps two in twin beds) and shares a  small patio area. If you have a larger group or just  need additional private accommodations for your party, both buildings can be booked simultaneously based on availability.  Please note that separate parties may be booked in each building during a stay.
