Local zoning ordinances don’t allow us to include it in rental due to county zoning laws. Just like you would see on the tv show Tree House Masters. Enjoy a bon fire with Rich Hardesty or just relax in our hot tub. Lots to do in Brown County. Winery's, Brewery's, Brown County State Park, bike trails, Concert venues and some amazing Golfing just to name a few. Conveniently located only 11 miles from Nashville. Only 33 miles from Indianapolis Indiana and 31 miles from Bloomington Indiana. To many other great attractions to mention. Small town Indiana boy based out of Lafayette Indiana.

New years getaway
We had a wonderful stay! There was plenty of space for 2 families. Kitchen was well furnished and everything worked as it should. Communication with the host was great! We will be back.
Great time. Instructions on how to work the TVs would be helpful. Eventually got one to work to watch the Thanksgiving football games.

Idyllic cabin in southern Indiana.
This cabin was so quaint and the perfect setting for my husband and I to rest and recharge. From the thoughtful amenities (new toothbrushes, toiletries galore, coffee choices, and a few snacks) to the adorable accents and furnishings throughout, you can tell the owners take pride in hosting... We will definitely be back!going back! We will

This house was everything as listed and more! Our stay was extremely enjoyable and relaxing. The house was clean, spacious, and well stocked from the kitchen to kid toys. The outdoor space was exactly as listed. We will definitely think about staying here again if we travel abck to the area.

Cabin getaway
This quaint, spacious cabin situated in gorgeous Brown County provided the perfect long-weekend getaway for our family. Plenty of room for us all to have privacy, but there were also ample amenities and outdoor spaces. Thoroughly enjoyed the cabin and surrounding property.

Property Needs a Lot of Attention
I have a lot to say, but only 1500 words.
Our family stayed at this cabin this last weekend as our daughter was Graduating from IU-Bloomington.
Booked the cabin 4/2023. The property included the treehouse to stay in. 5/2023 it had been updated to say it was only to tour (we were not notified). Disappointed but still plenty of room.
Before arrival, given codes to treehouse (to tour), cabin, and a garage.
There are stairs and an old paver walkway to the cabin. Stairs rail to the walkway from parking and the front porch rails are very shaky. The cabin itself if really nice. Walked in, smelled fresh and welcoming. Beds were comfy. If you are wanting to cook, bring your own cookware. There was 1 skillet and 2 pots. The gas grill/flattop is atrocious and unsanitary. Lots of trees, but it looked like none of the outdoor furniture has been cleaned - ever. There were pretty fairy lights you could use but it was very ick out back, there. Front porch was fine. Lots of cords running all over the property. Some hanging into pond. Pond pier felt soft. Broken railing and seating. Couldn't go into the treehouse even with code as it was padlocked. There were pylons laying underneath it. Washing machine wouldn't turn on. Trash was already full upon arrival. Not safe. Prop isn't for ppl w/mobility issues.
It's sad, because this property could really be something special if someone cared enough about it
Thankfully we weren't really there much as we were at IU, but not worth the $$$$.

Perfect little getaway!
Great communication, accurate pictures, loved the seclusion, and the views! The treehouse was a great little adventure! Hot tub was perfect and a great addition to the snowy days we had there. Only wish the fireplaces (gas) were working.
Can’t wait to stay here again with the in-laws and their two kids as it was a fabulous location. Loved all the little details in the decor, blankets, hidden places to relax, great books and video selection. Had a Blackstone to cook on outside with propane and a good assortment of pots, pans, and a nice big range to cook on/in. If you can get into Nashville and eat at Cooper’s Alley (reservations required) you will have the perfect adventure!

Family Fall Break
We had a great time at this cabin for our fall break family get away. The inside of the cabin was very clean. It was also well stocked with everything we could ever need including kitchen items, towels, bedding and extra blankets. I wish that the outside of the house was as clean and cared for as the inside. The stairs leading up from the parking, the back deck, and the deck furniture could all use a thorough cleaning and some major repairs. The pictures of this listing need to be updated. However, hot tub was clean and amazing! The upstairs bed could use some stairs as it is the highest bed that I have ever seen and hard to get into. Overall, it is a great cabin in a quiet spot in the woods, with a 20 minute drive to Nashville and brown county state park.

Nurse's reunion
We had a nice stay for a long weekend. We were a group of nurses who used to work together. Several are retired, some are still working. No one is totally handicapped, but there is not a warning that the outside of this home is not at all accessible. One of my friends is legally blind and uses a cane. The tree roots, stairs and steps need some work. The outside decks and stairs are in horrible shape. The inside is great. Plenty of room and plenty of supplies to make your stay comfortable. They had plenty of dishes and comforts throughout the home. The bed in the primary bedroom upstairs could use a step stool. Nice place, but do not take elderly or handicapped friends or family. Overall, we had a great stay. Thank you.
