Fortunate enough to stay in the small, one-bedroom cottage which was very quaint. Reminded me of a family cabin as it was homey and a very casual setting. Although I didn't use it, there was a kitchen and laundry room which could be helpful for those staying for a few days. The bed was a bit harder than I like and it would be great to offer a hair dryer as they are too bulky for a traveler to pack. Overall, I lovely place to stay.

Hubby and I and 3 friends rented "The Quarters," which is a small house right in town. Vesta was…read moresuper helpful with all the arrangements and questions I had. The house, over Labor Day weekend (Friday, Saturday, Sunday night), cost us $440 (total) for 5 people. The house has two bedrooms and bathrooms, a nice, fully equipped kitchen and a patio/deck with a gas grill. There is a washer and dryer in the first-floor bathroom. Our third person stayed on the hideaway bed, but we also found a nice twin mattress set upstairs. The house was clean, cozy and really nice! We were within walking distance of everything in town. There was only one potential snag in the whole experience....our GPS's had us all turned around (we were on 5 motorcycles), so we ended up asking some police officers that were parked at the gas station where the house was. We would never have found it, had we not gotten an escort from the nice police officer! He knew the house and said, "Follow me--it's tricky." The street sign had two names on it, with the one we needed to see, all covered up by tree branches. Note to the lovely Vesta: Please warn people of this, because it would be nearly impossible to find in the dark. Be sure to bring TP, paper towels, a sponge and dish soap. We'll stay there again. It was a wonderful house and a great deal!

The resort really needs updates to the rooms. Keys are not digital old school metal with 25.00 fee…read moreif you lose one as well. The check-in office is not really inviting or vibrant. The staff are friendly and are welcoming, but it is so dark that the colors of walls etc needs a update. The unit we had was 97A, 97B so we had both upper and lower units. Let's start the lower unit 97A it had a large TV in the main area and no TV in the bedroom. The cabinets were from the 70's and need to be refinished or replaced from the kitchen to the bathrooms and even the drawers that hold things. The bar stools are fabric and are stained and look disgusting they need to replace them with bar stools that match the table in that unit in 97A. Modern chairs. Couches were up to date pain for needs to be done and done properly. It looks like they have just painted over old paint and stuff never really sanded and replaced anything was issues. Also, the bathroom toilets are so low and small that it's like toddler toliets in church schools not ok for adults of any height or size. The shower needs work, and remodeling it is gross, and the drain is completely hard water and lime rusted and crusted super nasty if you actually wanted to use that half Jacuzzi tub. 97B the upper unit that dinner table is out dated and the chairs match the downstairs bar stools so at some point the replaced things half way and mixed matched stuff that is pretty bad also both stoves are old and outdated but the fridges were ok on both levels dishes were ok but again lots of mixed matched stuff and each floor had one shot glass per unit that I found funny. The upstairs door or glass has dew or water damage in-between the panels probably from the Jacuzzi upstairs that can seat 2 or 3 grown people however the hot water runs out a quarter way filling the tub and takes so long to heat back up the water level will drain it self before it can actually be filled properly. Design flaw or need better water heater for the unit to actually use the Jacuzzis either one. Same thing for up stairs cabinets needs updates lighting seems dark either bright white bulbs or med white bulbs would help make the place look more vibrant they Yellow bulbs with paint color make it seem dark and ugly once the sun sets just depressing. You can easily take a few of these recommendations even if just updating the stained yellow lamp shades on the lamps and changing the yellow bulbs to fresh lamp top shades and led bright white bulbs would make the place so much better. Right now, you have a few bright white led bulbs and mix matched yellow bulbs. Not only does it not match, but it shows you could give it potential with such minimal changes. I'm still on-site bit don't want to be bothered this is my shared opinion and none of these things can be fixed overnight or while I'm here I want to enjoy my time unbothered so no point in bothering the front desk and the binders that are passed out could be updated to smaller information with those binder part showing restaurants and area attractions etc that should be kept in the room on the table in a separate book that stays there showing all the things to do. Not lugged around forced to check in and drop off when you leave just leave a book version in the rooms with all that second half of the binder and cut the stuff someone has to carry around down. So that is my experience it's quiet people were friendly, but the Villas them selves I'm sure charge their owners for upgrades, and they need to actually do so. Upgrade the investments, people! More will actually want to come.

It had its own bathroom with a tub. Down the hall, there was a nice sitting area with a coffee pot that could heat water. I made hot cocoa. My friend had coffee. There were many different types of coffee and creamers provided. It would have been perfect if there had been teas also. When we got back to the room, I tried out one of the two beds. There was a Queen and a full. I slept on the full. It had on oodles of pillows to remove. I believe i was out right after I turned down the sheets. I slept very well. I did order breakfast made to my liking. The next morning, I went down stairs and ate exactly what I had ordered, with a nice side order of fresh fruit. We checked out . It was a wonderful experience.

I would have stayed there but at $269 or $419 a night or whatever it was running, hmm, no thanks. So I found Big Locust where the rooms are more a modest $75-95 a night. The $95 a night room, The Locust Room is what we chose. It was so nice because basically we had the whole upstairs to ourselves. It was very private. The hosts were very patient and understanding and easy to work with. I would say this is more of a no frills down to earth place, but very comfortable. French Lick was a bit of a drive, but not bad. Also, downtown Paoli was nice to have nearby. Do be prepared that this is out in the middle of nowhere. Our phones didn't get signal, and there was no WIFI to be had except at the resorts. However, that made more relaxation. Also, there was always the resort nearby for what remnant of a night life French Lick has or a Starbucks or visiting the winery.

Opening weekend/Sunday afternoon: The rental line was no joke two hours long. It became significantly shorter later in the evening. If you don't want to wait, come later or bring your own gear. Somewhat crowded but not so much that I wasn't able to learn in the discovery zone. During the week: The temperatures were above freezing, so what snow was left was turning to slush. Better than the ice experienced a few days prior though. There were several points where I was the only person in the discovery zone, especially as it got later in the evening. Being here at night is so cool!

We drove 2 1/2 hours to get there, only to have the experience effectively canceled. No warning ahead of time, no meaningful explanation on site, just a refund. To make it even more frustrating, the refund email was titled "Thank you for your purchase," which felt incredibly tone-deaf considering the experience never happened. There was no apology, no acknowledgment of the inconvenience, and no effort to take responsibility for the situation. The staff at the window showed no care and said "yeah a lot of people have booked that for today" when expressing that we booked for it and were charged for this experience. Wasting customers' time, gas, and entire day with this level of disregard is unacceptable. Paoli Peaks clearly prioritizes sales over customer experience. We won't be back, and I strongly recommend others think twice before making the trip.

I still drool thinking about the eggs Benedict that she made me. Absolutely THEE BEST eggs Benedict I have ever eaten. None has compared since having hers. I would go back just to eat them and her hollandaise sauce. The rooms, too were just amazing. Clean, decorated so nicely and everything was renovated. They make sure you have everything you need as well. Just simply an amazing stay. I cannot say enough good things about this place and the owners. They're so kind, personable, and detail oriented. I would recommend this place to everyone who comes through Jasper!!

Wildcat Cove Lodge…read more You know how some places you rent don't end up being as nice as the photos in the listing? Not Wildcat Cove Cottage! This place is better than the photos show! Upon our arrival the house was impeccably spotless. Thoughtful touches. Fly swatter on the patio table and indoors on the desk. Nice. Apple device charger next to the desk. Nice. Frosty, frozen beer mugs in the freezer. Nice. Even though we brought our own, masks and hand sanitizer we're provided. Nice. Ample hangers in closets. Nice. Kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. Nice. Master bath needs handrail(s) for safer jacuzzi tub entry / exit. A towel bar to hang wet towels would be a nice touch. We may be more outdoorsey than some, but we would have liked to open the windows at night, but there are no screens. This house has everything, how can it not have screens? State Park style BBQ is literally indestructible, but not a great device for making steaks. We understand having it away from the house, but a standard charcoal BBQ could be installed so it cannot be brought close to the house and be much better to cook on. The grounds are nicely maintained. Chairs and rocking chairs on the front porch were perfect for watching the 3 turkeys. There's a picnic table to the side of the house and down the hill in back a fire pit and horseshoes. This location is great. 10 minutes to the heart of French Lick and less than 15 minutes to the entrance to Patoka Lake. We have never stayed in a place that has supplied wine on a honor basis to just leave money if you open a bottle. What a great idea. If we were to return to French Lick and Patoka Lake we would definitely rent this house from Randy again.

Lots of sitting areas outside including a large front porch, a garden sitting area on the side of the house and in the back a grill and fire pit. The house also has a large laundry room and a jetted tub in master suite with a shower.

The tour is done in lower level lighting from the light on the boat and with the tour guides flashlight. They also have a little section to "mine" for gemstones. You can buy a few different sizes in the gift shop and that was a fun way to do while we waited for the next tour.
