December 1, 2006 - Snowflakes are flying, and soon we'll be decking the halls at the Cabin at Lena Park -- with all natural pine, of course. We don't do plastic here.
We're already booked up through the holiday season, but now's the time to think about a winter getaway amongst the pines. We're closing for January so we can get a few projects done, but we'll be opening up in February and the calendar is open for 2007 bookings.
Live the fantasy of our hand-hewn log cabin - tucked into the edge of 80 acres of native oak woodland - a unique celebration of tradition and modernity, with clerestory skylights, solid cherry staircase, wide plank ship-lap oak floored loft, great room with floor to ceiling trapezoidal windows, full kitchen, large bath and wrap around deck in back. »—more—»
Enjoy the abundant wildlife and unspoiled beauty of Indiana's sand country on Big Eastern, owned and operated by the Lucas family for half a century with careful environmental stewardship - a lot like camping, but with all the comforts of home. »—more—»
Canoe the beautiful Tippecanoe through nearby Tippecanoe River State Park, shop Toto Bargain Village, bicycle mellow backroads, hike our extensive trail system, golf at adjacent Chesapeake Run Golf Course, enjoy Bass Lake, Lake Maxinkuckee - Kerstings Motorcycle Museum - Hoosier Valley Railroad Museum - have a cookout, a bonfire, or just enjoy the peace and quiet of unspoiled countryside. »—more—»
Hard to believe, but we're less than two hours from Chicago, near North Judson Indiana. For directions, contact us.
The cabin at Lena Park has many unusual handcrafted features. The photo at left shows the loft's hardwood floor under construction. Made of red oak harvested on-site, the long wide planks were band saw-milled, hand sanded and then hand-routed into shiplaps. The prepared planks were then square nailed to the pine rafters. Aside from the use of a few power tools it's a process ages old. And yes, it's a little creaky in places.
