Solar Off The Grid Cabin

We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend at this off the grid cabin. The setup was interesting to learn about and more than suited our needs. This isn't an Airbnb or Holiday Inn, but it's certainly a step up from camping. The host was very responsive in helping with any issues, even driving a long way to replace some equipment. Very quiet and peaceful overall, we certainly plan to come back!

Solar Off The Grid Cabin

A simple, but lovingly built cabin on a really lovely property. We came down from Chicago in early April to get a jump on the spring, and what a treat! Birdsong, wild flowers and the lovely fresh green of the trees starting to leaf out. Peaceful and soul soothing! It was interesting and inspiring to be in a self sustaining off the grid cabin, and there was plenty of battery power to meet our needs. There is lots to do in the immediate area. Hoosier national park has great hiking trails, as do the nearby state parks. Exploring some of the nearby caves was exciting.

Awesome off the grid place. Will return for another stay. Great way to explore the idea of off the grid living. Close enough to many attractions and parks that you can make a weekend out of it and never run out of things to do! Ed is an excellent host as well!
