An amazing getaway

This was a perfect property for what we were looking for. We wanted to be near Indianapolis, but have some space when we weren't in the city. The house is located back in a secluded area and has its very own pond and beautiful grounds to walk. My kids played outside on the swing, collected sticks and rocks, and we all saw lots of fun wildlife like woodpeckers, muskrats, heron, ducks and geese. The little row boat and paddleboat were fun to play in out on the pond. The house itself is 3 stories of rustic beauty - and it was stocked with everythign we could need - even a few food items they left for us in case we had forgotten a meal or two. We were able to really relax away from it all here for a few days. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a getaway in this area.

Weekend Retreat

It was a wonderful location to observe nature from indoors! We were able to photograph and identify 14 different birds, a hare, and many deer! In addition, it was a very comfortable atmosphere to cook, to read, and to watch movies! All of which we did as the temperatures outside were freezing!

Another Dandy!

I so enjoy Hutch House. You feel very private and secluded, without being actually isolated, which since a I travel solo is important. Marsha and Richard are amazing hosts. There was a boiler kerfuffle before I started my visit - they were very communicative and I appreciated it. The birds were so active during my stay - I really enjoyed watching them. It stays on my favorite places list.

Perfect Christmas

We stayed at Hutch House during Christmas week. I brought a small tree, not knowing if the owners had put one up. Not only did they have a beautifully decorated tree, Richard and Marsha had decorations throughout the house. It was beautiful! Such a nice touch. Everything was perfect!

Amazing place!

This cabin exceeded our expectations. Owners responded to questions very quickly and cared about making sure the cabin was ready and welcoming. Lodging was very clean, kitchen was well-stocked for any kind of cooking and there were plenty of books and games. Kitchen has windows looking out onto a pond and the sunrises were beautiful! We celebrated a combined Thanksgiving/Christmas weekend with family and the cabin's ambiance was a perfect location to do it! Southeastway Park is a wonderful hiking/walking location just minutes away and there are plenty of restaurants within a 10-minute drive. This property combines the convenience of the city with the privacy of a country location. One of the best we've ever stayed in!

A wonderful stay!

What a beautiful property! This place had everything I wanted… seclusion, a pond right off the wrap around porch, a pioneer cemetery, and pet friendly so I was able to bring my small dog. The house was clean and stocked with essentials in case we forgot anything. The tomatoes Richard brought us were delicious! Thank you Marsha & Richard for a wonderful stay!

Best VRBO we have ever stayed.

Visited area to see an Indiana Fever game. This location was perfect; 25 minute drive to Indy! The Hutch House was magnificent. We walked the 9 acres, fished in the pond and caught 16" and 18" bass. This was the best stocked house house we have ever stayed. With lots of extras. Beautiful home and property. Thank you Richard and Marsha.

Wonderful Visit

Staying in the "Hutch House" was a delight! The house itself is very comfortable and full of character. The home was immaculate and had everything we needed. Relaxing on the deck overlooking the pond was wonderful, as were walks on the sprawling property. Thank you to Richard and Marsha for your hospitality and for sharing your special home with us. The treats you brought us were an added bonus! I recommend this home for anyone seeking a peaceful, quiet experience that's not far from the city.

Great Private Getaway

We enjoyed our visit at this cabin! It is a great property. The dining room windows give a great view of the pond, and the main floor deck overlooks it as well. Due to property size, it was just us and nature. Our small dog enjoyed the freedom of being able to go around off leash. Would stay here again!

Why they chose this property

We located this original hand hewn log home in southern Indiana and learned that it was built in 1817. it was soon to be destroyed by the owner, as it had become a safety hazard.. To salvage and preserve this important bit of history, we took the home apart log by log and transported it in late 1972 to its present location . After two years of construction it became livable in the fall of 1974. You will find a picture album in the home showing how the home was disassembled, transported and rebuilt at the present location. Although the house has retained the original footprint, the interior has been updated two times since the reconstruction; the latest was completed early this year of 2019. After 45 years of living here, we have decided to open the home for more people to experience just a bit of history in this modern environment.
