Great spot just outside downtown Nashville! Excellent stay for a long weekend.

Very good people who helped out a ton. Driveway was plowed and free of snow and was able to give recommendations about getting back during heavy snowfall! Would highly recommend this listing to anyone traveling to Brown County

Everything was as described. There are neighbors close by but still private for hot tubbing and fire pitting

Beautiful home and close to town. Would definitely stay here again.
Airbnb Review #1307363469569929833 #283685 by Review from Airbnb Guest #283685 12/08/2024
Such a great little place just outside (within walking distance) the heart of downtown Nashville. My family and I came for the weekend for the Christkindlmarkt and to do some shopping. Erics place was extremely clean and SUPER well appointed, literally everything was thought of, down to the separate "makeup eraser" cloths in the bathroom and the separate towels for the hot tub!!! Adorably decorated for the holidays too! Easy 0.5 mile walk to downtown and all the shopping and restaurants.
Also very grateful for this property being pet-friendly! Will definitely try to book here again next time we come to Nashville!
Airbnb Review #1298736574844570091 #283863 by Review from Airbnb Guest #283863 11/26/2024
We would have loved to give a good review (as we’ve stayed in many airbnbs and have always had good things to say!) but moments after arrival, I received a message and was questioned about the number of guests on the property. My sister and I originally were the two who would be staying but later decided to bring our children (not exceeding the max occupancy). We were sent a new confirmation where we had to pay an additional $250. Nowhere in the listing does it say additional charge per guest so I would warn anyone else booking to be sure that your guest count is accurate or you’ll be incurring additional cost upon arrival… as they are clearly watching you walk in the door. Unfortunately, not the best experience for us and we will not be back as Eric was not empathetic in the least. This place was not worth what we ended up having to pay for it. There were plenty of other places in the area that do not charge per guest fees that were more spacious and nicer for $370 a night.

Very cozy and comfortable place! Very clean and everything was labeled, making it easy to navigate the house. The hot tub was a very relaxing way to end the evenings! Overall we had a great experience.

We had a lovely short weekend here! The place was the perfect get away. We didn’t have enough time to see/do everything we wanted so we are headed back to Bear Creek Cottage in March so we can explore more. Would definitely recommend for your trip to Nashville, Indiana!

Enjoyed the stay and will stay again if we visit the area. We stayed in another of their BNB's two years ago. Loved that one also!

House was nice, clean, and easy to find. It’s close to everything in Nashville but not necessarily a secluded cabin. We would stay again!

This is the fourth year we have stayed at a property managed by Eric. The places are always spotless, conveniently located, all the ammenities (TV at the hot tub what?!). We'll rent again - you should too.
Great place by Thomas 10/17/2024
Overall, this is an amazing little cottage! Location is great, you can walk right up the hill to downtown. Loved the outdoor space, hot tub and T.V. and a grill! Kitchen is fully stocked with everything you could ever need on a vacation, all pots, pans, cookware, skillets, utensils, dishwasher.... WOW! I only had one tiny issue with our stay, and that there are no bedside lamps/lights,only the overhead room lights. I highly recommend this property! It's is very clean, well maintained,and thoughtfully stocked. Oh extra bonus, also has a washer and dryer!

We had a wonderful weekend stay at Eric's cabin! The location couldn't be more perfect....in between Hard Truth and downtown Nashville and close to the state park. The cabin was also immaculately clean and the bed was super comfortable. Thanks so much for a great stay, Eric! We are already talking about when we can come back!

This is a beautiful place to stay. The place is everything they said and more. It's very clean. We felt right at home. The back patio is a nice spot to relax also. We had a few questions and they responded immediately. The kitchen is stocked with about anything you need. We've stayed at alot of airbnb's and the kitchens just don't have alot.
Thank You guys for a great weekend!
We will be back!

Aside the trouble with the passcode keypad, a couple of dirty dishes in the cupboard, and a diaper under the bed, the place was clean and presentable.
One thing, I could not figure out if the washing machine had soap or not and did not know to use the type of soap so I just ran it by using quick start that stated it was preloaded given with a sticker indicator but did not do another load because I did not know to use pods, liquid, or powder or if it did not need to be refilled with soap seeing as it said it was preloaded.
Aside the above, I was pleasantly surprised with everything especially trying an Airbnb for the first time.

Wonderful place, great location. Would recommend to anyone who is looking to stay in brown county and want secluded and close to town.

To say how secluded, we had deer around us all evening while sitting around the fire!!!

We were in town for a wedding at the Brown County Inn and Eric’s place was a perfect location to everything in downtown Nashville as well as Brown County Park! We were able to walk to downtown quickly from this space and drive into the park in just 10 minutes.

We would definitely stay again! The place was very clean and well equipped with everything we needed. We enjoyed the hot tub and outdoor space a ton! Also the beds were incredibly comfortable.

It was a great place to stay! Very clean every thing was labeled so well that any questions I would have had were answered. The location was fantastic it was within walking distance to town but far enough out that you got away from the busyness of town it was also really close to Hard Truth distillery witch is a great place to eat and visit! There really is nothing I would change they already thought of it all would highly recommend!!!
Airbnb Review #1175390094314984122 #257926 by Review from Airbnb Guest #257926 06/20/2024
This place was beautiful and perfect for an escape from the city. It’s a 4 min drive into nashville to go shop and check out the quaint charm it provides. 15 min drive from Brown County state park and we definitely enjoyed the hiking trails while there. Perfect kitchen for cooking our own meals at night, however I would’ve loved having a proper knife set to use. The hallway leading to the 2 bedrooms is very narrow and my companion had to walk through sideways because his shoulders were too broad, but the rooms themselves were very spacious! The property is very close to another home which was less than ideal, but it was separated by a cute little creek and after rain it was beautiful to see it full with water and the curtains on the patio provided privacy when needed. All in all it was a pleasant stay and would love to see it again in the future!
Airbnb Review #1178359051423827067 #256881 by Review from Airbnb Guest #256881 06/14/2024
We thoroughly enjoyed staying at Eric's rental. It was clean, updated, and we felt at home right away. We appreciated the attention to detail and the thought put into making the house feel like home. It was just off the main road, so we could easily walk to town. The porch was very cozy and we spent a lot of time sitting outside. We would definitely return!

This cottage was great! And of course the hot tub was the star of the show…along with the big porch. They had everything one needed for a nice getaway. Also super clean & nicely decorated. (The only thing I would say is for anyone who is sensitive to smells there were very strong air fresheners in the house.) Overall great stay & would definitely come back! 🙂

It was a fabulous experience at a wonderful place! It was a great space for 2 couples. It was an easy walk (or drive) into town. We love Brown County State Park, and it’s proximity to the park was great. We will definitely try to stay at this or a similar property again, hopeful there’s something suitable for just one couple too! Thank you for what has been deemed the best Airbnb experience to date for the whole group!

We enjoyed our time at the cabin! Very cozy and comfortable. We had a couple small issues and they were very responsive and were able to help us quickly. The kitchen was loaded with everything you’d need and the bed was very comfortable! The free pass to the state park was great. The outside patio area was a dream! If I had one small recommendation I’d say add some board games or games to play but that’s just a personal preference. 10/10 for us though and we would stay again!

We had a great stay at Bear Creek Cottage with our puppers. When we booked, we didn’t realize it was just a short walk to town. And we really loved Nashville, I want to come back at Christmas time.
The cottage was easy to find, and very clean. The kitchen had everything we needed and the host even supplied us with goodies which was much appreciated.
The back porch with hot tub and TV was 100% our favorite, it was so peaceful and relaxing sitting out there. The bed was super comfy and the dryer came in handy so I didn’t have to pack a wet bathing suit.
Thanks for a FABULOUS time!

Loved this place. Perfect size for my husband and I. Close enough to walk to town. Near Brown County State Park. Which the host provided a day pass for. We were able to get a hike in. Part of the reason we were there.
This was our first time not staying at the state park and we were very satisfied.
We were able to bring our dogs and the outdoor space was great!
We could come home after dinner and relax outside and even take a dip in the hot tub.
They also had a little set up with chairs and wood if you wanted to have a fire.
House was fully stocked and clean.
Would stay again. 🙂

Loved our stay. It is located in a great location. Close to downtown and minutes from the state park. Close to the grocery store.

The cottage was extremely nice. The kitchen was well stock for all our needs. Everything was nice and clean. The beds were comfortable. The whole place was warm and cozy.

The hot tub was a hit. There was a very nice outdoor area.

The owners were very helpful and friendly. Quick to respond.

Can't say enough about about how great our time here was. It just what we needed. Will be back for another stay.

If you are looking for a relaxing vacation this is your place.
