Property Details

A recently renovated rustic paradise for a family vacation in Brown County.

Looking for something historical and rustic? Look no further; The Big Easy has everything you want in a family vacation. This cabin has enough space to accommodate up to 8 guests, with four large bedrooms and a spacious living area for everyone to gather. The Big Easy provides plenty to do if you don’t feel like meandering into town, with 52 acres, a small pond in the woods, and large porch spaces to take in all that beautiful Brown County has to offer!

Upon entering The Big Easy, you’ll see the newly remodeled kitchen that leads into the spacious dining and living room. It houses a gorgeous geode stone fireplace to warm you on those chilly winter evenings.

On the main floor, you will find the half bath off the dining room and the master king suite equipped with its own private bathroom and porch access. Meander up the stairs to the game room featuring a vintage shuffleboard and a flat-screen TV if you fancy watching your favorite movies or TV shows away from the rest of your group!

Outside, you’ll find a back patio, charcoal grill, and a fire pit, perfect for roasting marshmallows for s'mores!

The Big Easy is only 10 minutes from the Brown County State Park and 12 minutes from downtown’s family-owned shops and restaurants. You’re sure to find something to do that suits everyone in your party’s interests!

You're in luck if you have a party larger than eight guests! The Big Easy rests on the same property as its sister cabin, The Over Easy! The Over Easy can accommodate eight more guests and can be rented simultaneously if available! No need to worry if you only need The Big Easy, though. On the same 52 acres, guests at each property cannot see one another as The Over Easy is further up into the wooded area on the hill. The only shared amenity is the 1 1/2-acre pond!

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!

This property is attached to a wedding barn venue, so your dates may be blocked off for future weddings. Those weekends will be released 90 days prior if no wedding has been scheduled.

All gas fireplaces are seasonal and available for use from October 1st to April 1st.

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 REQUIRE PRIOR WRITTEN APPROVAL FROM PROPERTY MANAGEMENT. Effective July 1, 2025, the county has raised the innkeeper's tax from 5% to 8%.
-Please bring bottle water as the water isn't Non-potable for drinking and cooking (the water is safe to shower with and the hot tub is tested after each stay)

This place was great for our family to gather. We sat a lot on the front porch. It was peaceful and we had everything we needed. Kitchen had plenty of dishes and pots and pans. We cooked several meals there. The beds are large and comfy. The family used the hot tub each night and found it to be relaxing. We payed some of the provided games. Made nice memories. We especially enjoyed the shuffle board game. That was great.

We had a wonderful time! The house was amazing with a huge backyard that was perfect for the kids and our dog to enjoy! We loved sitting around the fire at night and enjoyed the huge front porch to drink coffee in the mornings & even play games on during a summer rain storm. We didn’t realize that the pond was either a hike through the woods/overgrowth or up the steep hill so wasn’t the easiest to get to & we unfortunately weren’t able to enjoy that as much. The kids were a little disappointed that the pinball machine was not able to be used but we did have fun playing shuffleboard! Overall the space around the house and the home itself was wonderful and we would definitely love to come back & stay here again!

This home was perfect for our family getaway and to attend the IU football game. It was just as described on the website. The setting was as charming as the house. We enjoyed playing games in the living room. We loved the close proximity to Hard Truth Distillery and downtown Nashville. We will definitely be back!

Cute, cozy cabin that made the perfect weekend getaway. Everything was as described and Eric was super easy to reach with any questions about the trip. Checking in/out was a breeze and there was plenty of parking on site so guests didn’t have to carpool. Private and secluded but still conveniently located near downtown Nashville, Brown County State Park, and many local restaurants and wineries. We will definitely be back!

Girls getaway and this cabin was perfect! Plenty of room and nicely furnished. We felt right at home! Loved the fireplace and seating on the porch. Had a bonfire and Eric even furnished the supplies for the samores . Nice touch. We did have an issue with the fireplace but Eric was quick to respond and fix the problem. One of the best cabins we have stayed in and definitely will come back..
