174 acres, one group at a time

The trails didn't go anywhere

This is southern Indiana hill country, which means climbs, ravines, and hardwood. The riding terrain that made this place a name is still here. So is quiet ground for the people who'd rather walk it.

Quick answer

Guests get private access to miles of off-road trail across all 174 acres, with wooded hill country, elevation changes and creek crossings. Dirt bikes, ATVs, side-by-sides and UTVs are all welcome. Bring your own machines, since none are available to rent on site.

Three-night minimum. Dates hand off to Airbnb with your selection prefilled.

Motorsports

Miles of private trail for dirt bikes, ATVs, and side-by-sides. No waiting on a group ahead of you, no trail closures, no day-pass line. A signed waiver is required for every guest.

Hiking

The Knobstone Trail, Indiana's longest footpath, runs through the property. Walk out the cabin door and onto it.

Mountain biking

The same climbs and loops work on two wheels without a motor, if that's more your speed. The elevation here is real, not a rail trail.

Hunting

Mixed woods and open ground with deer, turkey, and small game. More on hunting

What the ground does

Terrain, honestly

Riders who came here through the 2000s and 2010s described the same things over and over in forum threads: hill climbs, a flat track, tight woods trails, and creek crossings. Some of it is genuinely hard. Some of it is a two-track you can cruise.

It sits in the hills west of Kurtz, off Highway 50 between Bedford and Brownstown. This is the knobstone escarpment, so the elevation change is the whole character of the place. It's not flat Indiana farmland.

Wet weather matters here. Riders noted for years that the trails get rough after a heavy stretch of rain, which is worth planning around if your group is mixed skill.

If you want to see the terrain before you book, don't take our word for it. There's seventeen years of rider footage shot on this exact ground, uploaded by people with no reason to sell you anything.

Outside the cabins

After the engines shut off

Fire pit and cookouts

Fire pit, grill, and picnic tables. Light pollution out here is close to nothing, so the sky after sundown is worth staying up for.

Room to let kids run

Wide open space, no through traffic, and no other guests anywhere on the property. Pets are allowed, and they get the same 174 acres you do.
