Patoka Lake Marina and Lodging is the best place in Southern Indiana to spend your summer no matter what part of the state you hail from.
In business since 1998 and situated on the west edge of the Hoosier National Forest, this incredible marina offers bait & tackle, beer & wine, firewood, pizza and a deli with more food options, hunting and boating supplies, and many more on-site amenities.
When it comes to the floating cabins, they come with two or three bedrooms each with Queen-size beds. Rates are $249 per night during the summer for the two-bedroom and $100 more for the three-bedroom.
During the off-season, guests can stay here for $199 per night for a two-bedroom cabin or $249 per night for the three-bedroom. (Of course, rates are always subject to change.)
In addition to the bedrooms, each comes with a kitchen, full bathrooms, heating and AC, gas grills, decks with furniture, and a living room with a couch and TV.
Each cabin also has its own boat slip so that you can keep your boat close to the cabin. Patoka Lake is one of the best for boating, fishing, and all sorts of other lake activities.
