Rural Environment Notice
Our cabins are located in the beautiful woods and countryside of Monroe County, Indiana. While we provide routine professional pest control and keep our homes clean and well-maintained, guests may occasionally see seasonal pests such as mice, flies, lady beetles (Asian beetles), or stink bugs — especially in the fall and spring.
These harmless insects are part of life in a rural setting. We do everything possible to minimize their presence and appreciate your understanding as part of the authentic Monroe County experience!
PET-FRIENDLY PROPERTY: There is a $75 fee per pet. Moondance Vacation Homes proudly donates a portion to the Brown County Humane Society when you bring your pet and pay your pet fee.
All fireplaces are seasonal and available for use from October 1st - April 1st.
ALL EVENTS, DAY GUESTS, AND PARTIES ARE PROHIBITED WITHOUT PRIOR WRITTEN APPROVAL FROM PROPERTY MANAGEMENT.

Beautiful quite area, felt secluded even though there were houses on both sides. The cabin was very nice and had all the amenities including kitchen utensils, plates and glassware you would need for a large family dinner. The Hot Tub was very clean with great jets and was under a covered gazebo. The first night we sat in it when it was snowing- temperature was perfect! Fireplace was warm and cozy...A nice relaxing week...Just what we needed to celebrate our wedding anniversary and my hubby's birthday.

We recently spent a few nights here while visiting our son at IU, and from the moment we arrived, we were impressed.
The space was spotless, comfortable, and beautifully maintained. The decor struck the perfect balance between homey and stylish, and the amenities were more than adequate for our needs. We especially loved relaxing in the cozy living room by the fireplace!
Location wise, the property was ideal close enough to shops and restaurants, yet tucked away in a peaceful, wooded area that felt like a true retreat. Being only about 15–20 minutes from IU was a huge plus for us as well.
Overall, we would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommended! ?
