Serenity in the Woods: Your Private Escape in Brown County, Indiana

Have you been dreaming of hiding away in the wilderness of Brown County? Well, 8 Does A Dancin’ is the perfect place to do just that! This private 23 acre property will totally immerse you in a woodland wonderland that is all your own! Be sure to keep an eye out for the deer herd grazing about as you follow the lane leading up to the house. Once there, step out and breathe in the fresh air as you enter through the front door to your home away from home. You will immediately sense the cozy, welcoming feel of this beautiful cabin!
With adorable nature-themed décor and inviting over-stuffed furniture, you will instantly be warmed by a feeling of relaxation and comfort. The couch folds out into a queen size sleeper bed, just perfect for two to get a restful nights sleep. You will all love to gather here for a cozy movie night on the large screen TV or just to enjoy a crackling fire in the huge wood-burning fireplace.
The gorgeous Brown County Stone fireplace leads all the way up to the vaulted ceilings and helps to enclose the stairs that lead to the en suite loft bedroom. This fantastic room includes a full bathroom, a king bed, and a private balcony with patio seating for your own personal view of the surrounding beauty!
Step up from the living room into the open-air kitchen/dining area. The convenient gourmet kitchen is equipped with the modern appliances and gadgets to create a feast du jour for you all to enjoy together around the large dining table.
Down a small hallway to your left, you will find your way to the second bedroom and bath. The hall bath includes a tub, just in case someone feels that a warm soak is in order. The bedroom contains a queen bed with soft linens and welcoming pillows.
Last, but certainly not least ...the sunroom! This room runs the entire width of the house and sports floor to ceiling windows, creating a continuous view of the hills and hollers that surround you. You can have a feeling of complete immersion in nature, no matter the season! Sit in comfort and watch the wildlife meander in and out of the scene or do some bird watching without having to leave your comfortable chair. This will undoubtedly be your favorite room!
You may wonder, “What will I do with all of this space and privacy?” Well. have no fear, we have you covered with all sorts of activities! Down the hill just a bit, you will find a private pond, complete with its own dock. We have provided both a canoe and a paddle boat (and yes, life jackets) that will give you hours of fun on the water! You may also enjoy the peace and quiet by filling your day with fishing. The garage has been converted into a game room/bar area for hours of indoor fun, as well! Enjoy the multiple game tables including a pool table! Even the teenagers will love it! For the older crowd, the bar area can be set up for an evening of game playing fun.
The fun doesn’t stop there! 8 Does A Dancin’ is not so far off the beaten path and is handy to many great tourist attractions around the area. Go out for the day and enjoy all that Brown County has to offer! Upon your return, you may choose to have a lovely cookout on the huge back deck. Maybe a campfire around the firepit would be nice? Then, after a long day of playing hard, a nice warm soak in the hot tub will be the perfect way to end the day.
Other amenities include an open washer and dryer set for your convenience. Come here with a group of friends or family (including the family dog) or, just the two of you for a couple‘s getaway. Whoever your vacationing partners are, 8 Does A Dancin’ is your perfect Brown County vacation destination!

Lots of fun in Brown County
We loved our stay and everything we needed. The property is clean and was well stocked. The game room and fire pit was definitely the highlight. The only mention I would have is the primary bedroom in the loft area does not have a door. It didn’t bother us but might some others. I would definitely book here again!

A terrific property
We have stayed in many homes over the years. Most of them are very good, but in rare instances do they hit every mark. 8 Does a Dancin’ is a dream property for anyone who appreciates nature, peace and quiet and a home filled with amenities and COMPLETELY equipped. We give it our highest recommendation!

Fun Retreat
This cabin is a really fun and comfortable place to get away, in a beautiful and secluded setting. My spouse and I stayed here for two nights in early August. There were so many ways to have fun that we could have stayed a week and not done them all. The house was beautiful, and filled with thoughtful touches like charging stations, Turkish towels, and snacks. The bedding was very comfortable. Communication was good, and check-in/check-out was easy. We would definitely stay here again.

PERFECT Getaway !!!
This home EXCEEDED all our expectations! We rent 3-4 homes a year and this is now at the top of that list. We loved how private it was and had a great time fishing at the pond. The nightly campfires and hot tubbing were very relaxing. The host Marisa did an outstanding job communicating but yet was not intrusive. We love spending time in Brown County and this is now our go-to spot. We will surely be back!

Our Best Get Away Yet!
This property is amazing. Our family made so many memories during our stay - from the great game room, to days boating and fishing at the private pond. We were able to unwind and enjoy our vacation. The communication with the property manager was the best we have ever had, and it was an amazing perk to be able to have bait and firewood delivered to the cabin. The check out process was a breeze. Over all, this is one of the best cabins we have stayed at, and we can't wait to come back.

8 Does a Dancin' Didn't Disappoint
Stayed at the cabin two nights (06/07 & 06/08) and had a great time. The property was very well maintained and included everything you could need for a great experience (minus food); although the breakfast danishes, s'mores kit, and fresh eggs were a nice touch. Enjoyed the pond, hot tub, game room, and fire pit along with the cabin...and of course, the privacy that the property provides. Would certainly recommend this property to others, and look forward to staying again.

This was our second stay at the cabin. Everything is exactly as listed, with a perfect mix of quiet solitude and on property activities. The kitchen had everything we needed for meals, the game room was a blast, and the sunroom was great for relaxing. We had a fantastic week.

We loved everything about this cabin. It was perfectly cleaned and perfectly stocked. We only need to bring ourselves and our food for the week. The coffee bar is an extra plus along with the bakery treats, dog treats and Hershey's kisses. The peace and quiet was exactly what we were looking for. We will be back.

Beautiful Cabin & Nature Lover’s Dream
What a great place to welcome a fresh, new year! As we drove up the secluded drive, we immediately relaxed. The cabin is so warm and inviting. Everything you need for a relaxing, cozy stay. We loved the thoughtful New Years’ cookies and sparkling cider. Our dog absolutely loved the cozy dog bed and found the dog toys immediately. Such a thoughtful touch to have raised dog food and water bowls. And also dog treats! Loved the bird feeder (and bird seed) and suet feeder. We drove into town on a grocery run and stopped at Bear Hardware for some suet cakes. The next day, we were rewarded with several visits from pileated woodpeckers! Thank you for sharing this beautiful place!
