It offers secluded privacy in a heavily-wooded neighborhood just 2 miles from Patoka Lake State Park and marina.  On the way to the park you will pass Patoka Lake Winery, the new Patoka Lake brewery and distillery and a 28-room hotel slated to open in May 2024.  At TokaTime, you can enjoy the fire pit and hot tub on a romantic getaway or bring the whole family for boating, swimming, fishing or hiking. The cabin can sleep up to 10 guests in two bedrooms (king bed downstairs, queen bed upstairs) and a loft with additional sleeping options.  The cabin's neighborhood is about an hour's drive west of Louisville, 20 minutes south of French Lick, 70 minutes northeast of Evansville, 2.5 hours south of Indianapolis and 3 hours from Nashville or St. Louis.  See photos of the house and rooms, read our reviews, check our availability calendar, and book your stay through   Airbnb  or ...
