About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Updated pet friendly, close to Nashville!

Come see this charming two-bedroom cabin, with one-and-a-half bathrooms, that has a rich history in Brown County!

Charley's Cabin is the perfect retreat for those seeking relaxation by the stars. You'll create unforgettable memories here that will add to the cabin's legacy. Only a short drive away are the Brown County State Park and the delightful shops and restaurants of Nashville.

Charley's Cabin was built on the site of Alfred Oaldon's old blacksmith shop by Charlie Fox between 1987 and 1990. To replicate his childhood home in Brown County, Charlie used logs he cut himself on an old sawmill he owned as a young man. During WWII, he served in the United States Navy in Guam as a Seabee, where he honed his valuable building skills in constructing airstrips. You'll find more information about the cabin's fascinating history throughout the space.

Dream cabin

We loved our stay here for a girls trip over the weekend. After girls trip the hubs and young in’ came and stayed one night and loved it. Seriously. Sooooo many amenities available above and beyond any VBRO or short term rental I’ve stayed at. Location was an easy drive to Nashville and right around the corner from the bean blossom outdoor venue. It was quiet and everything we expected. Beds were comfortable. I slept on a twin in one room and the queen in the other (yes, it’s a queen). Other than not having full access to control the temp, there are zero complaints and we would stay again- especially during the winter months to enjoy the wood burning stove- I miss mine! Thanks so much for a great stay and amazing cabin. We really loved the little trail too behind the cabin and different spaces to be like the picnic table to the north by the trail head and the outdoor fire pit/ grill space. Was even surprised there was a lighter and fire starters. We brought our own fire wood but was surprised to see firewood also on site.

A+ in our book

The location is great and there is plenty to keep you entertained in the cabin and out whether the weather is crappy or perfect. The fact that it’s dog friendly is what made it absolutely perfect to me.

Everything was great for our weekend away. We took very good care of the cabin but we were charged for a damaged blanket we know we didn't damage.
