Here Are A Few Kind Words From Our Past Guests:
"Amazing place to stay, super clean, very well stocked, easy to communicate with Kara. We rented all units except the event space as our group did not need it. Everyone had a great time, and we will return next year. It was terrific for the grandkids to be able to walk to nearby shops and get ice cream. The rooftop patio is perfect for group dining, games, and s'mores. Roomier than it looks (and it already looks roomy!), and the beds are super comfortable. Perfect in every way!” –Vicki
“I can’t sing the Barn Burner’s praises enough! This place is perfect! So well thought out. Everything you could need is there! All of the beds are extremely comfy! The design is PERFECT! It’s the perfect place to travel with a large group. We spent lots of time on the rooftop patio eating meals, playing games and hanging out. We went for a staff retreat and every person that was there was sad to leave and was asking for the link to stay again and asking if we could come back next year for our retreat!” –Maddie
“Barn Burner was perfect for our family girls trip to Little Nashville. We wanted something with plenty of room for our multi-family getaway. This location perfectly fits what we needed with the four separate units and the shared rooftop patio. We spent each night around the fire enjoying the beautiful weather and making memories. It was so nice being right in town and walking to all the shops and restaurants. I would definitely recommend Barn Burner as a wonderful location for any groups or families looking to stay in Nashville!” –Maria
"I just hosted my entire wedding party at the Barn Burner this weekend. This place is stunning! Perfectly walkable, large common areas, and quiet! Thanks a ton! We will be back!” –Meghan
“We had 15 guys stay at the Barn Burner for 5 nights on a biking trip. We did both mountain and road. The accommodations were incredible for this type of trip. All the bikes were stored in the event space, which was a great place to keep them while having Brown County Bikes in the same building. We used the outdoor space in the evenings for dinner and thoroughly enjoyed the fireplace. The apartments are top-notch with everything you could possibly need. We've now stayed there twice, and it will definitely be our go-to in the future. Thanks, Kara!” –Brian

☆☆ GUEST ACCESS ☆☆
You’ll have exclusive access to all four lodging rental units at the Brown County Barn Burner, including the rooftop patio and four dedicated on-site parking spaces.
Each unit has its own private entrance, but 1-North and 2-South have an adjoining interior door, making it easy for larger groups to connect.
Check-in is contactless with key-coded door locks. Your unique door code, along with detailed check-in instructions, parking information, and check-out guidelines, will be sent a few days before your arrival.
☆☆ PARKING & GETTING AROUND ☆☆
There are four dedicated parking spots behind the building, accessible via Honeysuckle Lane (a one-way street running south to Washington Street). Additional free street parking and public lots are available nearby.
Keep in mind that rideshare services like Uber and Lyft are very limited or unavailable in the area, so plan to drive or walk as you explore Nashville. Most shops and restaurants are within walking distance, but if you're venturing beyond town having your own vehicle is recommended.
☆☆ LOCATION ☆☆
The Brown County Barn Burner sits in a quiet yet convenient corner of Nashville, Indiana, at the intersection of Jefferson and Washington Streets. You’re just a few easily walkable blocks from the heart of town, where you’ll find locally owned shops, art galleries, restaurants, coffee spots, and more.
Less than ¼ mile away, the Salt Creek Trail provides a scenic, paved path (¾ mile) leading to the Brown County Music Center, Brown County YMCA, IGA grocery store, and additional restaurants and shops in Salt Creek Plaza. Prefer to drive? You’ll be less than a 5-minute drive from the Brown County State Park or a slightly further–but still easy–drive to Yellowwood State Forest, Lake Monroe, and the nearby cities of Bloomington and Columbus.
