Have you daydreamed of having a place to get away, relax; a cabin in the woods, on a lake? A place that is ready for you anytime; where all you need to do is pack a few essentials and take off. If so, Poplar Ridge just may be that place for you.
Poplar Ridge Hideaway is 20 wooded acres that includes a 6 acre lake located in the heart of Southern Indiana's finest outdoor recreation region. Poplar Ridge is midway between Jasonville and Linton Indiana. One of many unique features of Poplar Ridge is, though quiet, private and secluded, the property is literally only 15 minutes from all essential shopping and services. At the same time, Shakamak State Park is 9 miles west, Redbird State Recreational area is 10 minutes south, Goose Pond Wildlife Refuge is 14 miles southwest and Green-Sullivan State Forest is 5 miles southwest of Poplar Ridge.
You may not feel the need to explore much beyond Poplar Ridge. The cabin sits on a beautiful 6 acre lake that has developed a reputation in the region for it's great fishing. The hiking trails lead you through a mature forest of lovely hardwoods. The oaks, poplars, maple, and chestnuts are exceptionally gorgeous in the Fall.
Poplar Ridge is one of those secluded hideaways that are becoming increasingly rare. This is a place where you can stretch out on the deck and listen to the Whippoorwills, Bobwhites, Woodpeckers, and Cicadas. Let your mind wander as you listen to the mournful wail of locomotives making their way across southern Indiana. No need for soothing sounds machines to lull you to sleep here.
The region is teeming with wildlife. As you are having coffee on the deck or enjoying an after dinner drink on the back porch, you may see deer, wild turkey, beaver, cranes and muskrats. You may even hear hoot owls and coyotes. This really is a wildlife wonderland.
Having traveled a fair amount ourselves, we understand the importance of being treated as valued guests. Our goal at Poplar Ridge Hideaway is to treat our guests as we would want to be treated and to provide them with a lodging experience that is both pleasant and memorable.
