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.
The guest houses - The Main Cabin, Hilltop House, and Spring House 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.
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.
