Property Details

Step back in time... way back... This 150-year-old, honest-to-goodness real log cabin is nestled on the edge of a pine forest, just minutes from the village of Nashville.

Step back in time… way back… This 150-year-old, honest-to-goodness, real log cabin is nestled on the edge of a pine forest… secluded, yet just minutes from the village of Nashville. A secluded getaway in the "Hills of Brown County, Indiana." Experience something uniquely different and satisfying!

The Garden Cabin features one large country dining-kitchen-great room downstairs, with a spacious, many-windowed loft bedroom upstairs. Two large beds and an old wicker sitting-reading area overlook a huge Brown County stone fireplace.

Cozy up in front of a crackling fire on cool evenings. Then watch the glowing embers from your loft bedroom as you retire. Or… on a warm, balmy evening, rock on the old-time front porch swing and listen to the spring peepers and owls as they tune up for their nightly concerts.

If you have always wanted to try one of those old-time claw-foot tub baths – well, here’s your chance. Take a good book and soak, relax, and read… no interruptions or schedules to keep.

Old antique piesafes, cupboards, chests, tables, and garden items contribute to the warm, back-in-time lifestyle of the Garden Cabin. If you want to truly "get away" and experience something uniquely different and satisfying, please contact us for reservations.

The garden cabin is a lovely, rustic gem nestled in the woods near Brown County Forest. Constructed from timbers from other log cabins this place not only have the rustic appeal but was crafted inside as a clean, highly functional, modern living space. The peace and quiet surrounding the cabin in the woods was amazing. The cabin was maticulously setup and decorated and is a great place for a couple to spend some cozy time together. Highly recommeded...

We so enjoyed Eric’s cabin. Peaceful surroundings, comfortable bed and just simply lovely. So enjoyed swinging on the front porch while a light rain played in the background. We will definitely return in the fall. Location was great!

This was a lovely place to spend my first few nights with my most amazing wife. We had so much peace here and was able to refocus and focus on each other. Cutest little cabin and just loved every minute there. Great place to make your own path and explore.

The Garden Cabin is beautiful and comfortable. We found it well furnished and well stocked with nearly everything one could need. We enjoyed the wooded setting and spent some time hiking around. We noticed and appreciated several angels in the cabin as part of the decor. We found some leather remnants while shopping in Nashville and I used a piece of it to create a small leather angel of our own. We left it hanging on the wall from an unused nail that was already there. We had no issues because the camp was not active during our stay but the description did not include that this cabin was located on the Palawopec campground property. Overall we really loved the cabin and enjoyed our stay there. It was a wonderful way to celebrate our 37th anniversary!

The Garden Cabin is peaceful, well decorated, and spotless! I have stayed in many cabins, and I know how hard it is to not have any bugs or cobwebs around when you are in that type of environment. I was very impressed! It is only 10 mins away from the shops, grocery store, pharmacy, and the Brown County State Park entrance. I hope to comeback and stay again!

The Garden Cabin is the first place I’ve ever stayed that I would without a doubt choose to stay at again! It was peaceful, beautiful, smelled delightful, and the most relaxing trip of my life. The bed was cozy, the WiFi worked well, and the porch was perfect for morning coffee and reading.

Highly recommend the restaurant owned by the family that owns the cabin (Farmhouse Cafe I think?) and we had a man named Michael come set up in cabin massages.

The outdoor shower wasn’t operational yet for the season (it was April) so keep that in mind if that’s something you really care about, but the clawfoot tub was delightful.

The cabin was everything you could ask for. Short walking distance from a creek, meadow and forest trails. There were also a couple horses that were a treat to visit. The cabin was super cozy. It does have a tin roof which was a bit loud during a rainfall but some people love this! It does have a peaceful sound. Would for sure stay again.

This was such a lovely get-away for the weekend. The Garden Cabin is quaint and comfortable. The kitchen is well-stocked for preparing meals and there were plenty of bath linens available. Everything was clean and in good working order. We just wish the weather had been cooperative to allow us more time to enjoy both the front and back porches. 5 stars!

The cabin was beautiful and I love the history of how it was made. They have a binder that tells you everything you need to know and more. It was so beautiful and peaceful I wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy all the surroundings. We had a short jammed packed mini anniversary but loved every minute of it.

My husband and I will be back to Eric's beautiful log cabin. We are so glad that my niece and her husband were married at the Abe Martin Lodge amphitheater to introduce this part of Indiana to us. We have a new area to re-visit and enjoy the area again.

The cabin was so clean and exactly as described. It was so serene and peaceful. The outdoor shower was amazing. Had everything we needed for a quick weekend trip, but does not provide shampoo/toiletries so bring your own! If you forget yours like I did, no worries cus there are plenty of places to buy some. Will definitely return!

The cabin is adorable and as described. Eric was very responsive and helpful. Do note the steps are steep to the bedroom loft, if that matters for you. If you like the look and idea of a cabin, I highly recommend this one.

This was such a sweet oasis for my husband and my’s Christmas getaway. The stone fireplace, quaint kitchen, timeless bathtub, and cozy loft all added to our extreme time of rest. The minimal screens allowed us to truly turn the outside world off as we faced the woods and beauty around us. Lots of time with the Lord, reading, worshipping, playing games, cooking food, and more. And of course, the dogs from next door were an added bonus ha!
