Todays Forecast:
Warm sun and gentle breezes
With water telling time
To be as still as itself at dawn
Birds humming at 7 mph
Thanks for everything. Having time to relax and recharge has done both of us many favors already!
Seventeen fish in one day is enough to make anyone smile. We'll be back for sure. Keep us the great work!!

Scott's Timberline Lake
It's been three years since we were here last and we have enjoyed our stay here just as much as the first time. Lots of rain this year has been unusual, but rain and all, it's been very relaxing.
We have used this as our home base and have been able to visit other nearby attractions in the area. You have a beautiful place and everthing was very clean and nice in the cabin. So long for now and I'm sure we will be back again.

Thank you so much for sharing your home with us, and taking care of us.
Mike, Sarah and Matt enjoyed fishing and we had a delicious fish fry our last night in the cabin. I enjoyed watching the birds in the feeder every morning while I had my coffee on the swing on the porch.
Your bread was awesome. We made toast with our eggs one morning,. The flying squirrels were the best. Thank you for sharing them with us.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for the wonderful week - your cabin is truly a small piece of paradise. We've been so stressed this year and it was great to just relax - I felt like I was in a bird sanctuary - I absolutely loved all the humming birds!! They were dive bombing each other - I think I got some good pics. Also, loved the white tipped (tail) squirrel and will send a pic - if it turns out. Thanks for joining me to make cards - that was fun! Mark caught lots of fish, so he got to do what he likes and I just relaxed. We hope to come again - loved, loved, loved it!

Wow, Elayne! You have found a little piece of heaven on earth! Who would have believed it was in Indiana?!
You are truly an angel for letting us enjoy your cabin and lake. We really enjoyed our stay here. It was wonderful to escape the hustle and bustle of city life. The peace and quiet was heavenly. No phones, no computers. It was just what we needed to unwind. We were amazed at how bright the stars were at night. Something we don't get to appreciate with the city lights. And to see the deer just strolling through the back yard! We will be back as often as possible! Best wishes,

Words can not express the feeling that you get by just the beauty of your place. Thank you for sharing your place of heaven. Everything was like home. The bread was great.
This is just what we needed to regroup and focus on what God has given to all of us.
Thank you for your generosity.

We would like to thank you for everything. This cabin is adorable. We loved seeing all the birds, deer, and other animals come so close to the house. Your cabin was the perfect weekend get-a-way. It was way beyond our expectations! Next time we will most certainly bring our fishing poles! Thanks again.

Elayne, words can't explain the serenity of it all. Your property is absolutely blissful and the calming effect it has is awesome. Thank you for opening up your cabin and sharing it and your entire property with others. You are definitely an example of God's work. We feel we have found our home away from home here at Elayne's cabin and definitely will be back. But next time will be for a much longer stay than 3 days. Elayne's hospitality (& Bailey!) has been the greatest. They, as well as the cabin have been so warm and inviting. Can't wait to come back. See you soon. God Bless.

We came across the cabin on the internet and decided to come down. What a beautiful cabin and lake. The hummingbirds and butterflies were beautiful. My husband and I caught 11 bluegill - but of course, released them all. We also saw three deer and two turkeys running. The homemade bread was totally awesome. Elayne is a wonderful host. My husband plans on bringing our three sons soon!

We had the most wonderful, relaxing time swimming and being totally immersed in nature!! What a wonderful discovery, finding your beautiful cabin tucked away in these peaceful woods! We had a great two relaxing days, enjoying the butterflies, hummingbirds, and the lake. We caught two nice bass and two fat bluegills this morning. Saw two deer yesterday run across the road. Discovered the little glow bugs down near the lake, and I think my wife is going to do a research project on them. And, of course, the totally amazing amount of butterflies. I imagine this is what it is like in the rain forest - just huge clusters of beautiful multi-colored butterflies floating by and the hummingbirds

Gosh, what a hot summer weekend! We went fishing two days in a row, swimming once - peace and solitude for three days. Came down from Whiteland, IN on our motorccle and toured the curvy back roads. The weather was perfect. Thanks, Elayne, for opening up your place to us, and sharing your gift of baking bread. Also, the cabin was SO clean!

Dear Elayne, thank you for sharing your cabin and grounds with us. My husband enjoyed catching bluegill ( his comment - there we no small ones) and bass. We also enjoyed the birds! Your cabin is perfect! Thanks. We used your cabin as a base point and visited Leavenworth (view to die for), Corydon, Huber Farms, Abbey Press, St. Meinred, French Lick, West Baden, Patoka Lake and Vincennes. Southern Indiana is rich in history. For me, standing on the ground where the only Cirvil War Battle fought in Indiana, was awesome. We hate to leave, but are heading to Louisivlle to see "Jersey Boys"! What a fun week. Thanks again.

Beautiful, just beautiful! We are grain farmers from Northern Ohio on a romantic weekend. Only time of year that we can get away. The cabin is AWESOME! The fact that it is beam and mortar means it is authentic, and the fireplace and cathedral ceiling add to the beauty of the structure. Although Crystal and I live on a farm in the middle of nowhere, you have to walk 1/2 mile to get to the woods, and there are no hills. This place has been so relaxing! We have been able to disconnect from the world. We arrived on Friday, a large thunderstorm moved thru that night. Saturday was sunny and 94 degrees and humid. Then another thunderstorm came through Saturday night. Forgot my fishing pole, that is my one regret! The lake is great, although we did troll the boat out for a while. We will definitely come back here! It is only an 8hr drive for us and that's not bad. Thanks so much!

Elayne, we really enjoyed our peace and quiet. We are going to spread the word about this place to everybody we know. We caught 44 fish Saturday. I caught more fish in one day than I have total all my life! Next time we come we are going to try and stay longer. By the time we checked in we only had one day to really fish. Next time we will fish first, eat and unpack later. (LOL) Homemade bread was good. Sorry we only got to see you for about 15 min. Thanks for movies and great time. This place was so clean when we walked in we were afraid to step inside. We do a lot of traveling and this is by far the most peaceful. We will see you in the near future with more family and friends. This was our weekend to celebrate our 4th anniversary. It was great! Words cannot describe it.

Dear Elayne, it has been another wonderful, relaxing week here in "Paradise". Thank you so much for your kind hospitality - and thanks so much for the herb bread.....it was excellent!! We caught a few fish, and of course, the "Big One" got away. We really enjoyed playing dominoes...and we will be sure to find others to play the game when we return home. We look forward to our return visit. We will be in touch. Love, Peace and Blessing to you and Bailey.

Thank you Elayne, for your hospitality. We have really appreciated the peaceful quietness of the cabin and the surrounding woods. Watching the birds at the feeder was particularly fun. Even though we never got around to using the lake, we have very much enjoyed ourselves This cabin is a good "base camp" for exploring some of the trails in Hoosier National Forest (Hemlock Cliff was amazing!) and the cabin is great for resting, relaxing and just being. Take care.

Ate at the Overlook in Leavenworth and walked around Corydon, visited West Baden. Overall, just a fun-filled but relaxing time. Plenty of opportunity to go and do or not do anything. Loved it!! Thanks for the hospitality and homemade bread. Hope to come back soon."

"Wow, what a beautiful and relaxing place!! The boys enjoyed playing checkers on the porch while watching the birds and squirrels. I got your puzzle out and worked on it and to my surprise; my husband kept sitting down and helping me until we got it done. The cabin is so cozy and welcoming with everything you would need provided. Thank you, you have thought of everything. It was refreshing to swim in the lake with the sights and sounds of nature around you. Along with the sounds of laughter and enjoyment of the boys swimming and jumping off the pier. As for us four novice fishermen, it couldn’t have been any easier to catch fish. The first morning we caught 8. Below are the pictures of the first 4 we caught. The second morning we caught 13. But being novices, all our fish were returned back to the lake to get bigger for next time. Thank you for the best week we have spent in Southern Indiana. "

We have spent a lot of time just sitting on the front porch reading, doing Bible study or just watching the birds and squirrels. The fishing has been good. You have been a very gracious hostess – there if we needed anything, but not bothering us in any way. We hope to see you again."

We started calling it “home” after the third day. We loved catching a glimpse of deer drinking at the lake or running across the creek. We watched all of the colorful birds eat from the feeder. And the lake---the geese, the turtles and we caught fish for dinner! Elayne, thank you so much for your hospitality and the wonderful bread that awaited us upon our arrival."
