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 EVENTS, DAY GUESTS, AND PARTIES ARE PROHIBITED WITHOUT PRIOR WRITTEN APPROVAL FROM PROPERTY MANAGEMENT. Effective July 1, 2025, the county has raised the innkeeper's tax from 5% to 8%.

Please note: This home is remote — located 30 minutes from town and accessed via a 20-minute drive from the highway on winding gravel roads. While the drive is scenic, it may not be ideal for those seeking quick town access or smooth pavement. For many of our guests, however, this journey is part of the charm — a chance to truly get away from it all.

Rural Environment Notice
Our cabins are located in the beautiful woods and countryside of Brown 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 Brown County experience!

Eric’s place is amazing for a quiet, peaceful retreat in the woods and near the lake. The hot tub was a great amenity during the cold snow.

We will definitely be back to escape life for a little bit and enjoy the solitude.

The place was very clean and it was as expected. We had a very good time there no issues, just the fire place was not working but apart from that everything was great.

Everything was beautiful and very clean. The house isn’t well sealed so the heat/air runs constantly and the fan is quite loud, but that’s the only slight downfall. I would definitely book here again. The hot tub was well taken care of too. Very peaceful location if you just want to get away and relax

Great place to stay. When questions needed answers, very quick response time. Loved the peaceful environment and welcoming home to stay in. If you’re a big person the couch is a little small but all in all, a really great place to stay!
