  • Inn Details

    A warm welcome awaits you at Big Locust Farm Bed & Breakfast, a brick country Victorian on 93 acres. After a big country breakfast, enjoy the flower bed, the fish pond, watch the birds, hike in the woods or along the creek, or just sit back and let the world go by on our big front porch. We are a small bed & breakfast in the heart of the Hoosier National Forest. We've been in business since 1995. Our location is in the country, so your stay will be quiet and unhurried. Nature walks, quiet contemplation, and sincere conversation are the order of the day.

    • Directions to property:
      From the center of Paoli take SR 56/US 150 west. Go through 2 stoplights (about ¾ mile from the courthouse square) and turn left at the first road past the last stoplight. (All the people that have failed to find us have always missed this turnoff so it must be the easiest to miss) There is a sign on the left side of the highway that says “Ski Paoli Peaks”. Once on this road follow it to Paoli Peaks (there is a blacktop road to the left just before you go up the hill but other than that you should have no trouble finding your way to the Peaks) When you get on top of the hill at the Peaks parking lot do not turn off the road but continue on down the hill. We are at the bottom of the hill on the left. We are the only driveway between the Peaks parking lot and the stop sign so you will have no trouble if you get to the Peaks.

    I could not have asked for a better place to get away from it all! Everything was absolutely wonderful! The Innkeepers are a very warm and inviting couple! Everything was perfect from the greeting at the door, the accommodations to the animals that greeted us! I highly recommend the Big Locust Bed & Breakfast to anyone who will be near the area!!! I plan a trip back...I miss it already!!! :)

    Beautiful and very pleasant

    Just spent a night at the Big Locust Farm with my wife. The place is beautiful, Glenda & Joel are nice and warm hosts, the breakfast was delicious, and the price fair. We’ll return with our kids. Ofer Levy

    Amazing place to relax!

    This bed and breakfast was simple and beautiful. The innkeepers were relaxed and warm, and attentive to us. It is a small bed and breakfast, and they seem to like it this way so that they can care easily for their guests. We stayed in the upstairs Locust Room, with the whirlpool tub. The pictures just don't do this place justice!! It was romantic, quiet and relaxing. Lots of things we wouldn't expect, like snacks, chocolate, movies, a fluffy soft bath robe, and chilled water in the fridge for us to enjoy. Breakfast was beautiful and delicious. Of course our breakfast consisted of fresh eggs from their chickens, a fruit and yogurt parfait, orange pecan french toast and sausage. Juices, coffee and other drinks were also available. We felt spoiled. To top it off, you just can't beat the price! So worth the money!

    Going Back Soon!

    Our stay at Big Locust Farm B&B was our first stay at a B&B and it has left us eager for our next visit. It may well be a second visit with Glenda & Joel. We stayed in the Locust Room and enjoyed the comfortable (firm) bed and large whirlpool tub both of which were therapeutic for my back. Breakfasts were delightful and there was bottled water in the small refrigerator and coffee and snacks on the sideboard. The house is surrounded with flowers, fields, trees and beauty. I enjoyed sitting on the front porch early in the mornings to read, write and reflect. Glenda and Joel are friendly and comfortable to be around but not at all intrusive. We are looking forward to going back in the Fall when it is a little cooler and the trees are festooned in their bright colors. We highly recommend this oasis from the hectic, frantic pace that tends to squeeze out time for reflection and renewal. Leave the cell phone, laptop and DVDs at home and embrace the quiet of country living.

    Innkeeper Response
    Thank you for the nice review. The process doesn't let me who did it but it was very thoughtful!
