Marshall, Indiana, is about 65 miles west of Indianapolis. There are rental cabins available in the area and some of the best outdoor activities in the state. Marshall is a very small town of 360 people near the western border of Indiana.
If you're looking for a small cabin to rent then Sugar Valley Cabins may have what you need. These cabins are modest in size and you will probably still want to bring your camping gear including your tent, although they say you won't need it. Electricity, heating and air conditioning are often included, but this is not a certainty. Not all of the cabins come with a bathroom, shower, water or kitchen facilities. Some cabins have a bed, a fire ring and a picnic table. Tent camping is available, as well as canoeing, kayaking, camp stores, snack bars and restroom facilities. Call in advance for details regarding cabin availability and amenities.
