Waterfront 2 Bd cabin on Blue River , PRIVATE RIVER ACCESS, kayaking, fishing
Harrison Spring Cabin - Overlooking the Blue River and Harrison Spring - Cozy enough for two, but large enough to sleep four comfortably. The Harrison Spring Cabin overlooks where the spring empties into the Blue River. Harrison Spring is one of the largest springs east of the Mississippi River and is on the National Natural Landmark List. The cabin is on stilts and affords a nice view of the Blue River and the spring. The spring is always 54 degrees and this really moderates the temperature around the cabin. A large wrap around porch offers extended river views and is a relaxing place for friends and guests to gather. An interior family room offers additional gathering opportunities.
The cabin is furnished in a river camp atmosphere and features a full bathroom with shower. There are two bedrooms and both bedrooms have a double bed. The Cabin is air conditioned and heated.
Convenient access to the Blue River: The Blue River is well known for canoeing, fishing, and abundant wildlife. Much of the lower stretch of the river is bordered by Harrison Crawford State Forest and O'Bannon Woods State Park. The property is conveniently located on the river so that you can arrange a variety of trips using public access points up and downstream. Looking to bring your friends or extended family and need more space? Look no further! We have another cabin sitting also on the banks of Blue River located not far from the Harrison springs cabin. Offering many of the same features and room for 12. Many new listings COMING SOON. These cabins have so much history and offer a unique and private experience for your stay. I assure you that wether your a person who simply enjoys the sound of the river while watching the Eagles (the eagles nest sits directly across from the cabin) or your looking to experience the thrill of canoeing/Kayaking down Blue River this cabin really has it all.

This was the perfect place to get away, relax on the porch overlooking a special spot in the creek, and play in the water. We watched movies on VHS, listened to cds, and cooked our meals. We had everything we needed, felt safe and welcomed, and left recharged. Definitely returning!

There was a slight hiccup with the check but the host was just around the corner and came to help. The air wasnt on when we got there so it was quite hot until it was able to cool the place down. Sitting by the river, just listening to the water was amazing! Well worth it.

Women hiking trip
Last year my friend and I stayed at a hotel to explore Corydon. We decided to try a VRBO property this year and it couldn’t have been better. Privacy, beauty, space and close to all the places we wanted to explore. Jennifer met us at the cabin and was very welcoming and gave us lots of ideas of places to visit. The rooms and bathroom are small so it was perfect for two women. We are already planning our next trip!

Really lovely.
We made a short trip for weekend. We love O’Bannon Woods State park which is even closer than google said. Host was very kind and accommodating even though I goofed the booking. The cabin is two rooms but sweetly decorated and cozy. No wifi but cell service with my carrier. But the spot where the cabin on the Blue River couldn’t be more lovely.

Serene
Quite and was ideal for our needs, loved the river view. Missi was very helpful when we needed a few things, my suggestion would be to try and fit 2 twin beds in spare bedroom and to clean paddle fans. We stay at a lot of VRBO in the past 7 years and I like all the unique aspects of each rental, loved the screen door making its little noise( reminds me of my grandma) . Would rent with Missi again.

Beautiful little cabin on the river
We had to arrive late because of a prior engagement, but we loved this place nonetheless. Being feet from the river was really nice, and being a short drive from Corydon gave us access to great restaurants and a great coffee shop in Kent Java Bar. We'll be visiting again, for sure!

Access to the Harrison Spring and Blue River made this such a unique experience. We enjoyed taking a nice dip and listening to the water at night. It’s peaceful here which is what we are looking for. Bonus was the charcoal outdoor grill. The steaks cooked beautifully.

Good time
It was everything we expected but more. We wanted a quiet place to fish and relax. We’re in our 60s not in the greatest health but we’re OK. The property manager was so sweet she carried all of our stuff from the car up to the cabin. Insisted on coming back to help us pack up the car when we left. She went way out of her way to make sure we had everything to make this a great stay.

Adorable Cabin
We had a wonderful time at the cabin and were able to see various types of birds, deer swim across the river and even caught a few fish. The cabin is located close to town making it easy to run into town for anything you might have forgotten. However, the host has thought of everything and left us a few toiletries that we might have forgotten in the bathroom!
You will have some highway noise but it’s nothing compared to the view and the sound of the spring meeting the river. This was the perfect getaway for my husband and me. We were both able to disconnect and just be.
