Thank you so very much! Our family "shinn-digg" was wonderful. Celebrating Papaw's 80th birthday with family from Ohio, Kentucky and Kansas - one grand daughter caught 20 fish in 2 days! A family record - and she's only 8! Having a great time.

Pam & Jim,
We can't thank you enough for making our 2017 Spring Break a beautiful and successful weekend. We loved the cabin, Sportsman's Lodge was perfect for 4 adults and 3 ten year olds. Being able to cook here saved us so much and we loved making smores by the fire pit. We are already planning our next trip soon.

My brother and I have stayed in the cabins for the past 3 years this will be our 4th we ride our motorcycles there to meet up and the cabins are always perfect and the owners are awesome the year before last a bad storm came in and they gave us a place to park our bikes in the barn and the power had gone out they brought us bags of ice so no ur food wouldn't go bad which the power was off only about an hour

Many thanks to the owners of French Lick Cabins. They went above and beyond taking care of their guests. By building the ramp for our dog, Gretchen, it made our trip so much better. Words cant express how much we appreciate their kindness. Thanks to Tonya for helping us with whatever we needed. Great place to stay.

Thanks so much. We came for a quick trip from Lafayette for a birthday. Clean cabins & nice area. Enjoyed our stay. A map of the lake would be nice. :) Thanks again.

Subject: Our Stay Dec 31 2015
We had such a lovely time it's very obvious that you and your husband take pride in your place as it was very clean. We did however have to put the screw back in the oven handle. The refrigerator also had a loose screw in the handle. We very much enjoyed our stay and we are hoping to come back really soon. I loved having the kitchen being a chef it's so nice to be able to entertain with a full kitchen. Also being able to include all our our family Buster and Davi go everywhere with us and it was great that you guys accept our four-legged family members. Thanks again for working with us on such short notice. You guys are the best. Thanks for making our new years so great,

Thank you Tonya for having everything clean and in order when we showed up. Very peaceful & quiet location. We will be back for sure! The hike was great! If you take the path straight back to the No Tresspassing signs and back, it is a little over 2 miles. But be sure to explore more, lot of hidden gems.

I can't say enough about how nice these people were to us and the cabin was as clean as my house. We called them at the last minute after having reservations at a nearby cabin and realizing that it was not what we were led to believe it was. We had no television and got up to no hot water, but the young woman that took our frantic call was more than accommodating. She knew that she had someone checking out in the morning and promised that she would have the cleaning lady get on it as soon as the people were out. We got a call before noon saying that our cabin was ready. That's over 3 hrs before they are obligated to let you check in. We walked in to a beautiful cabin that smelled freshly cleaned. It was comfortable, as well as quiet and relaxing. I just wish that we had gotten to enjoy both nights instead of just one. If you want to relax, this is definitely the place to go. I will be forever grateful to this woman for saving our anniversary weekend.

We love staying there! This was our 2nd time, and we will definitely be back. The cabins are very clean, and I thought that everything we needed was there. We stayed in cabin 7 this time, and it was decorated well, and the couch was VERY comfortable!! We stayed in the basement one (2B I think) for one night, and we nicknamed that one the "grandma cabin". Lol. It wasn't as nice. But, of course it was clean and had everything we needed. We hope to be back again this summer. This is the perfect vacation for us - it is quiet and relaxing, there is beautiful nature all around us, and we aren't battling crowds of people. And of course, my husband and sons love to fish! Thank you again,

Pam, We had a fantastic time at your cabins. Everything was clean and very comfortable, and you made it so easy for us even though we arrived late at night and had to check out early on Sunday. You made it easy for us to pay and you took into consideration our limited budget. Thank you for all you did for our troop. It was a pleasure working with you and we hope to go back again soon!

We very much enjoyed our stay. The area was just beautiful, especially with the snow on the trees. We loved taking the dogs on the hiking trails. The cabins were nice and had all that we expected. The only thing we needed more of was places to hang our coats and clothing, but this was a small thing. Both my family and the other couple said we would definitely love to come back again in the fall or winter. Thanks so much for everything. And my boys had a great time snowboarding at Paoli Peaks!

Hi Pam,
We had a great experience last weekend in French Lick Cabins and skying in Paoli! We are thinking about coming again next weekend, do you have any cabins available? If possible, we would like to stay in the same one, I think it was #2, upper level. Please let me know about the availability, it would be for sat. night, that is the 1st of Jan.
Thank you!

Pam and Jim,
Wanted to take a moment to say thanks for the hospitality. We've been coming to southern IN to deer hunt together for 8 years; 6 or 7 years at PLV. The cabins are great. And the hunting was excellent. We'll be back again next year.

Just a note to say thank you! We made it home safe and tried to beat the rain that was headed for Indiana. We had a lovely time at French Lick Cabins. It always exceeds our expectations! Thank you both for all the little lovely (new) touches to our extra-clean cabin #6. We enjoyed the cozy fireplace and ALL the new extras! Many thanks to Tonya too for keeping everything so clean. We can't imagine spending our anniversary anywhere else! This was our 14th year! A special thank you to Jim for the going out of his way to hand deliver postcards to me one day. It made my day! You both are such wonderful folks! Thank you for everything! John & Lucia Juris |

Many thanks to you for your kindness.
Thank you so much for the use of the Amish Rocker! I felt so special - it was very generous of you. We so look forward to next year. Stan will be contacting you soon for reservations. Until then & with thanks,

Cabin #11
Dear Pam,
Thank you so much! My boyfriend Tony & I had a blast staying Memorial Day weekend at your cabins! I had always wanted to plan a trip like this for us as we are both big outdoors people. We love to fish and hike as well as enjoy the beautiful nature scenery! He didn't know much about the place but I had done my research on the lake and the opportunities we would have while staying there and to say the least, he was pleased! We had a blast exploring and even got to see a huge (I would say at least 60lb) beaver! You all have such a wonderful place there and we will definately be returning next year! I'm so glad we decided on Cabin #11! It was so neat how much we felt at home in that cabin. I also found it very cool that the common kitchen utitilities were all provided for you. I am so happy I came across this place when looking for a place to call our vacation home. I can't wait till next year! Thanks for the wonderful hospitality & providing us with hiking maps and boat rental options, as well as a warm, peaceful, friendly place to get away to!
Sincerely,
Courtney Hogue
& Tony Kumfer

What are your interests in French Lick, Indiana? Hiking with dogs
How would you rate the...
Physical appearance of grounds: excellent
Check-in process: excellent
Cleanliness of your cabin: excellent
Your overall experience: excellent
Price/value of your stay: good
Would you come back for another stay? yes
Anything else on your mind you would like us to know? We love French Lick Cabins!!! We had a wonderful, restful time. We especially like the fact that you have grills there for us to use and we love the porches on the cabins. There was actually a study done on what aspects of architecture encourage community interaction, and the presence of a front porch was number one on the list! (Can you tell I'm a science nerd?) So not only are the porches a fun place to relax, but they encourage community interaction between campers. We experienced that first-hand, and it was wonderful :-) |

Anything else on your mind you would like us to know? We're from the Chicago area and my son attends USI. I decided to come spend Easter weekend with him in lieu of traveling back and forth. This was our first cabin experience and WE LOVED IT! I'm not much of a camper, but everything was soooo clean and homey, it was wonderful. We spent so much time outside hiking, kayaking, cooking out, and relaxing. I can't wait to find a long weekend that my husband and daughter can join us. Thank you again. The cabin was beautiful and had everything that we needed; even things that we easily would have forgotten that we needed!

Hello! I wanted to send you and your husband a Thank You! for being so nice to us this past Saturday and Sunday. First of all thanks for the late check out time and then letting us stay even longer waiting for the rain to pass over. We made it the rest of the way home rain free. Thanks for your patience with me as I made up my mind on a cabin – by the way #12b is awesome!!
We will be back to stay with you all again. We normally stay at French Lick, but not anymore. The cabins were so much better! Oh & this was my Birthday get away – and the stay we had at the cabin was the icing on the cake.
Thanks again,

Very pleased with this small cabin community here. Management and staff were very helpful and pleasant to work with. I loved walking the hiking paths up to the old house, along the lake, and through the vulture nesting area. Hopefully lots of good pictures. We will be back to visit Lake Patoka again in the future. Thanks so much. We enjoyed the skiing, walking on the beach, and so did our pets.

Dear Cabin 9,
We wanted to get away for the weekend so I started looking on-line for where to go. We came across this website that talked about family cabins and all the things we could do. So, we decided to take a chance. Well, what a great chance. We live in Indy, so getting away to a relaxing and laid back place was all we wanted. From the people to all the wonderful things we did this has been a weekend to remember. We went to Marengo Caves and French Lick Casino. We also took time to walk by the lake. We will definitely be back and bring our kids!! Thank you from both of us!! We will tell everyone.
J and J Jones
Also check out all the wonderful Antique stores! |

Dear French Lick Team
My girlfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed our trip here. You all have the nicest staff and best customer service. I will most certainly be back soon. Maybe we can work a deal out if I bring 14 people up with me next time? Anyway, have a great new year and enjoy your marriage, you two seem like a great match. If you want to stay in touch don’t be a stranger.

Weather was great, there were 3 Mishawaka Firefighters in this cabin & 3 others. Came for annual fishing trip. Did get chased off lake several times in evening but day time was great. Enjoyed the casino one night. Total of 3 boats, cabin was great & a/c welcomed. 88 + temps during the day out on lake. Bluegill size is getting better, caught catfish, crappie, small & large mouth bass, all was released back except 2 large crappie 5-day total of 1073 bluegill & crappies.
April 14, 2010
Perfect weather everyday. Low 80s . Caught a lot of crappie- too dry for mushrooms. Cabin is well kept. Our dog “Storm” had a great time

We had our Schaeffer family reunion here (stayed in cabins

time here - enjoyed meals together in the conference room.
Everyone here is so nice & we enjoyed our first of many
vacations here.
It is so peaceful & restful here & it's so nice to
be so close to the Lake. We enjoyed fishing & rides in
the boat, especially in the evenings.
We are so thankful that God chooses to give us such beauty
to enjoy!

This was our 2nd visit and it was better than the 1st, (the
1st visit was great). We went to the French Lick Casino and
that was fun. We plan on coming back soon, we have reservations
for Thanksgiving '07 also. This is just a great get-away for
us. Thank you for this great place. Home away from home. We
will definately be back before Thanksgiving, probably more
than once. Our Boxer, "Baby", really enjoyed this
also. Baby says "roof roof", she loves it.

Instead of buying Christmas gifts for the family this year,
we decided to use the $ to take a weekend vacation together...14
people, 2 cabins. We had an absolute blast skiing, snowboarding
& gambling! The trails are great. We'd like to come back
this summer to fish! Also, it was nice being able to bring
the dog. He loved the trails also!! 14 people & 2 bathrooms...what
an adventure!

This was our first time here - we appreciated the clean cabin.
Everyone was very helpful. Betsy was great - fun activities
on rainy days - Jasper, good shops, good bakery downtown and
great German restaurant - Corydon, very historic, Christmas
goose shop & Magdalena's restaurant was outstanding -
we had one sunny day on the lake. We rented a pontoon boat
at Gillian's Marina - very nice! Be sure to hit the French
Lick Winery. We went to Ferdinand and St. Meinrad - beautiful
churches, buildings and Abbey Press Outlet. Hillcrest Pub,
on 164, has marvelous ribs & catfish. Betsy has helpful
