West Baden

A small town with a big historical footprint. The centerpiece of this charming community is the iconic West Baden Springs Hotel, a marvel of architecture and luxury that gained fame in the early 20th century. Completed in 1902, the hotel boasted the world's largest free-span dome, an engineering marvel that contributed to its nickname, the "Eighth Wonder of the World."

West Baden, with its unique blend of history and natural beauty, offers a delightful escape for those seeking a tranquil retreat in a setting steeped in both elegance and simplicity.  With its opulent surroundings and mineral springs, it attracted the elite, including celebrities, politicians, and business magnates. Beyond the grandeur of the hotel, West Baden is set against the backdrop of scenic Southern Indiana, with lush landscapes and outdoor recreational opportunities. The town's quaint charm extends beyond the historic hotel, featuring local shops, restaurants, and the West Baden Springs Fire House, a notable historic site.

The nests are screened in 4-poster beds in the forest with lights, a ceiling fan, an outlet, curtains, and an excessive amount of pillows.  There is roughly a 100 yard walk down a dirt path to get to the nests, a showerhouse nearby with a bathtub on the roof, and a compost toilet not too far away.  These outdoor areas are shared with other guests but are not crowded.  There are traditional bathroom facilities, a communal kitchen, and common space for games and conversation located in our farmhouse about 150 yards down the path.  There are fire pits at both the farmhouse and guesthouse.  Dinner is complimentary each evening and is held just after our gratitude circle, and we are also accustomed to catering to those with dietary restrictions.  On the rest of the 29 acre property there is a labyrinth, a swimming hole, gardens, chickens, trails, a library, and access to The Lost River itself.  We hope to see you soon!
