Smaller Indiana

Making people and ideas findable

Ever wonder where people go to take a vacation from a vacation? I think I found the answer this past weekend at the White Oaks Cabins near Patoka Lake. White Oaks Cabins are located right in the heart of the Hoosier National Forest in Taswell IN, a 3 hour 170 mile car ride from Indianapolis. White Oaks was founded by Bob Cadwallader, a veteran social worker, in 1995 on 45 acres of land he had originally acquired to build a homeless children's shelter.


Those plans changed due to some unforeseen bureaucratic challenges and White Oaks was born. Bob, a very spiritual man and in tune with nature, is proud of his Welch ancestry. One can find ample evidence in the names that he chose for his cabins and the various paths around the property.

We have been down to Patoka the last 3 years and like hitting Holiday World when down there. We particularly like http://www.patoka.com/resortamenities.html When down there, be sure to check out the 2 awesome hotels in French Lick and Marengo Cave.
