If you think an amazing vacation is out of your reach financially, guess again. Whether you want to enjoy outdoor excursions, experience a little history or simply relax and be pampered, a getaway to French Lick, Indiana, affords all this and more.
If you are a golf lover, French Lick is an ideal vacation spot, offering world-class golf courses designed by some of the sport’s top names, including Pete Dye and Donald Ross. For hikers or bicyclists, try out the trails at the French Lick Springs Resort or head over to the Springs Valley Lake and Trail. Patoka Lake also offers plenty of trails, as well as a ton of water sports. For winter guests, Paoli Peaks is the place to be for skiers, snowboarders and sledding.
On the historic front, you’ll find plenty to see and do in the French Lick area. The French Lick Scenic Railroad takes you on a 20-mile journey through Hoosier National Forest on historic railcars. The French Lick Springs Resort, which includes two of the world’s most stunning hotels, offers tours of both its French Lick and West Baden properties. In addition, Abraham Lincoln spent much of his boyhood in Indiana, and you’ll find young Abe’s home at Lincoln State Park.
For families, consider a visit to Marengo Caves or Bluespring Caverns, the latter of which offers a mile-long boat ride on an underground river. Other fun includes Ma and Pa’s General Store and Petting Zoo and the Big Springs Adventure Park, an indoor water park.
For French Lick accommodations, you can’t beat the Artist’s Inn and Gallery. The beautifully restored home is among French Lick’s oldest and offers four romantic guest rooms filled with antiques and beds topped with down comforters. Each room offers plenty of helpful amenities, such as bath gels, shampoo, hair dryers and more.
This French Lick bed and breakfast is just minutes from area attractions, including the French Lick Springs Resort.
If you are traveling with family or friends, the innkeeper has several private cottages to consider. Each of these cottages is fully furnished and includes a full kitchen. Most of the cottages sleep four to six guests comfortably; however the Clancy Cabin, tucked in the woods on 30 acres, sleeps up to 10.
