We were six women who shared a cabin in the Brown County State Park, Abe Martin Lodge. The cabin was rustic and was well supplied for our needs. We enjoyed watching the large variety of birds from our balcony and swam in the wonderful pool which allowed for not only lap swimming but an area for the children and a... More

Four couples celebrated the men's 50 yr reunion by staying at the Abe Martin Lodge. Stayed in the newer rooms in the annex with king beds. Rooms could use some upgrading in the furniture and lounge chairs. Both look worn out. Mattresses were upgraded and we slept well. Shower area with toilet one of the smallest I've ever seen. Most...

First off, everyone should set their expectations: this is “rustic” lodging at a state park, which usually means 1-2 steps above camping. We stayed in Constable Newt Plum cabin for two nights. The cabin was divided into two small, adjoining rooms with a door between. My husband, toddler and I were in one room, while my mother was in the... More

We decided to stay in one the 'rustic' cabins, the website states (quote), "Enjoy the rustic atmosphere while being provided with modern conveniences". Well it was not a very pleasant stay. The room smelled very 'musty', the bed was old, but the linens were clean, the bathroom was clean as well. However, you can see in the walls the water... More

Completing a 2 night stay at the Abe Martin Lodge. Overall it's been very, very nice and relaxing. We came here because of the beautiful scenery at Brown County State Park. We've been here before and know not to expect a fancy new updated hotel since it was originally built in the early 1930's. The main attraction is being in... More

Although their website says "wireless internet throughout the Inn", don't bet on it. If you plan on watching Netflix/Hulu movies after swimming, or just want to check your email without having to go to lobby where wifi signal is strongest, you probably want to stay elsewhere. I don't like leaving negative posts, but this place really needs to amp up... More

After staying in Evansville with 2 friends we move up and did French Lick and continued on to Nashville, In. We chose to stay at the Lodge. Our room was clean, a nice size, and comfortable. We had dinner in the Lodge also, we chose the buffet. The food was plentiful and hot. Over all a nice stay!

Let me start by saying that the staff here was among the most competent and friendly we've ever experienced anywhere. That includes the front desk, the restaurant and housekeeping (we stayed in a lodge room). I read all of the reviews here before we went, but still wasn't entirely sure what to expect. The room was clean...very clean, actually. Just... More
