Had a lovely Thanksgiving with our large fam here. Kids enjoyed fishing, playing pool and feeding some of the animals in the petting zoo. Adults loved the large kitchen and comfortable seating. Great time!
We returned yet again to enjoy The Cabin at Natural Valley Ranch. Our 5th time to rent there. A HS girls getaway! Great hosts who always welcome us to make ourselves at home.
We really enjoyed our stay. The location of the cabin was great as we had a pond, forest, outdoor space as well as being close to the petting zoo and running/walking trails. I would say fishing and having a fire every night were the top highlights. The house was spacious for our family of 16. The only downside was the rooms on the main and second floor, the walls do not go all the way to the ceiling. Thus, any noise that occurred on the main floor would carry to those spaces and make sleep difficult for individuals staying in those rooms. We adjusted when we watched tv or the noise levels in the mornings to accommodate this.
Amazing stay and great host family. Was here for my wedding, and 10/10 stay. I will recommend to everyone. There was even enough room for my aunt/uncle and cousins to stay when their host unexpectedly canceled on them 30 minutes prior to check in while traveling from Michigan. Huge space and beautiful.
The cabin was loaded with everything you needed. Rooms were spacious and clean. The master bathroom was luxurious. The other bathrooms were clean and stocked also. The two down on the lower level were yellowed which I thought may have been from well water. The cabin was amazing with the lake, petting zoo, and the availability of horseback riding. My family was very impressed and requested we rent it every yearThe host was great at responding with updates and answering questions.
I am wheelchair bound and it was easy to navigate both inside and out. Secluded, but close to anything we needed. Television was a bit of a challenge to figure out, but we got it. We enjoyed a day at the Indianapolis Zoo since it was a short drive
Absolutely wonderful stay, beautiful cabin and venue for my wedding. Host was so great, checked in several times throughout wedding set up and after to make sure we had everything we needed and had great communication. From check in to check out everything was amazing!
This is the second year we booked Natural valley farm ! The whole family enjoyed Our stay ! There is something for everyone to enjoy.We highly Recommend This amazing Place ! Thanks to our hosts Chuck And Maria!!!
We absolutely loved the property!! Great views and venue for a smaller wedding. Everything was very smooth, however communication between the hosts and guests could be better and making sure there is no tours during a wedding would be very crucial to future guests stay as it made the morning of a little delayed.
Such a beautiful property that had everything we needed - wonderful cabin space open concept so we could all eat together and cook meals together, great pond that provided fun adventures to fish, swim, and canoe, a big yard for lots of activities and games, and an awesome pavilion with a fireplace for evening fun and lots of laughter. Definitely will recommend to others. Host was fabulous at communicating and the cleaning crew did an awesome job! Thank you for helping our family enjoy an annual tradition of fun together!
Perfect for our annual large family get away. grandma and grandpa loved the serenity, the middle schoolers âdug the vibeâ and the little ones enjoyed the open space to play and make a LOT of noise. Each kid caught at least one fish and we even got to enjoy the trails/horses. Enough space to all be together but not be on top of each other.
First time staying here. We had a wonderful visit. The cabin & the property worked out great for our family. Its a beautiful place and property. It's perfect for all ages(our family ranges from 1-64).We had wonderful time horse back riding, and the little kids had an arena ride. The staff and owner was so helpful and friendly. The lake worked out great for swimming, kayaking and canoeing. There was 17 of us, and there was plenty of room for everyone. The owner was great to work with. So friendly and accommodating. We had an amazing family vacation and would definitely come back. Thank you
We had a wonderful time at the property. Our grandchildren loved swimming and running around. House was big and allowed our family group our own spaces. Owner was very responsive when we had questions or messaged. Allowed us to check in a little early. Gave us a heads up when lake was being treated and let us know still ok to swim and fish. Staff at stable/petting zoo area super friendly & helpful. We did encounter a problem with a "pest" on our last day but owner was very concerned and wanted to know as much info as possible to remediate the problem. They were on it and taking care of it. We would definitely return.
Our family really enjoyed feeling like we were out in the country on our own yet being close to anything we would need. The owner was responsive and pleasant. The property was clean and very useful. It was very open, but also had everything we needed. We especially loved that the children could run around outdoors without constant supervision.
The Cabin at Natural Valley Ranch could be an extraordinary facility. There are few places that one can house 15 people all in one place for a family reunion. So â the facility itself more than lived up to our expectations. However, there were a few issues that we wished we didnât have to deal with: 1.Weâve stayed in a any number of VRBO venues, and there has always been an instruction booklet from the owners. Not so in this case, so we were left somewhat in the dark about any number of items. 2.There were a few maintenance issues that we felt were less than 5 star: Lawn not mowed, mining bee nests under the entrance stairs, no oars for the boat, broken drive train on the paddle boat, several services in the VRBO listing that were no longer being offered, guano (bat droppings) on the porch over the barbeque grills and deck, problems with varmints (probably racoons) getting into the trash containers, critters that ate the frozen taco meat left in the sink to thaw overnight, and a few other inconveniences. It wouldnât take much for this to be an absolute 5 - star venue, but it isnât quite there at this point.
Very spacious cabin for the whole family to enjoy without getting in each otherâs way. Kids loved the paddle boat, canoe and rowboat. The lake was well stocked and had fun fishing!
Amazing!!! Beautiful building and property. So many amenities that have been thought of and provided. Easy to work with owner. Perfect for our large group!! Would highly recommend.
Marie and I built this home for us to use and enjoy. After allowing Marie's parents to live here for a few years we have decided to allow others to enjoy the beauty of the home and the tranquility of our property. Spend the weekend or the week with us and you will feel the difference.
The home is semi private, the area seems secluded yet you are still close to shopping, theatre, entertainment, zoo, water park etc.
You have use of our 3 acre lake in conjunction with the guests from The Cottage at Natural Valley Ranch as well as access to our trails the new B&O rail to trail byway and horseback riding while you are here.
