About this property
3 acre Lake, Farm Animals Petting Zoo, Horses and Horseback Riding, Room to roam
This beautiful 4 bedroom 4.5 bath home is situated on our family-owned WORKING 78-acre horse farm which specializes in trail rides. This is a working farm and you will see farm equipment both sitting around and in use. Please be careful and supervise your children. The farm's equipment are not toys.
You will love all of the room inside and outside. Visit our Petting zoo, book a horseback ride or pony rides for the younger kids, visit with Hank our Free Range Pig, or feed the chickens as the come by in the morning. Plenty of fish in the lake, bring your bait and tackle. Swimming and boating from the dock, beach or boats.
We are convenient to Indianapolis, Indianapolis International Airport, Childrens Musuem and other area attractions. Indianapolis is known for motor sports — Indianapolis Motor Speedway and Lucas Oil Raceway are easy to get to, yet far enough away to relax and enjoy yourself. You can also find out what is happening in our area during your stay by checking out the websites for Hendricks County Visitors Bureau or Visit Indy.
Although their are plenty of dining out options within 25 minutes of the home, the kitchen is fully stocked with all the cookware and utensils for you to use to make meals at home. There is a gas grille on our spacious, private back porch for the grill masters in your group to use.
Spend your day and evening sitting on our wrap-around porch watching our horses and goats at the Ranch, you'll probably see our free range chickens, ducks and pot belly pigs roaming around the property. Your evenings could be complete with a bon fire either by the house or by the lake.
Feel like fishing? Grab your pole and take a short walk to our 3-acre stocked lake for some bluegill, crappie or bass. This is a lake that you will share with guests from The Cabin at Natural Valley Ranch and our family. We currently have a canoe, and a paddle boat for your use at no extra charge. The home does not overlook our lake, but is on our property. Please be sure to check google maps if you are unsure of the walk. It is about 3 minutes and includes a small sand beach for swimming. Life jackets are not provided
Other options for fun while you are stay at The Cottage are playing basketball by the house or volleyball by the lake. Trail rides are what we specialize in so don't miss out on making more memories by riding one of our horses with a guide on our trails that meander through 50 acres of woods, fields and sometimes White Lick Creak. We offer 30 minute, 60 minute trail rides.
Having a family reunion or other event? Ask about renting our lake-side 'Outpost-Country Occasions' facility with more than 1,000 sq. ft. of meeting/event space with access for caterers should you so choose. There's even room for a tent.
Absolutely no Outside guests or events at the property without the permission of the owners. When you book we ask that you give us the number of guests staying with us. That number is what we allow. Unless we have discussed in advance we do not allow, parties with outside guests, weddings, birthday parties with outside guests, bbq or cookouts with outside guests. Thank you for your understanding.
We do have pets on the premises, cats, dogs, chickens, ducks, etc. All are friendly and none will be in the house.
Your stay includes the use of a two car garage with parking for another 10+ cars up to the largest vehicles, including a bus.
We are in Brownsburg about 12 miles west of Indianapolis. We have many dining and shopping options close by if you choose.
Family-friendly and family fun . . . you will discover the difference that family makes when you discover Natural Valley Ranch!

We had a great stay! The home included everything we needed and more. The beds were very comfortable and everything was spotless! I would highly recommend this property!
The house was big and beautiful with lots of amenities. The overall price for the house and horseback riding (which was separate) was quite expensive. They did allow us to check out later than posted due to the time in between checkout and our scheduled trail ride, which was very nice of them. The employees doing the pony rides for kids was not informed that we would be having two kids attending, so unfortunately they did not get the full experience. They did take a ride around inside of the barn verses outside on the farm, on a big horse so at least they were able to ride. The owners were very nice and overall we really enjoyed our time!
Decided to find a location that would have lots of room for the kids to play. Plenty of room and parking. The petting zoo was also a hit with the kids. Close enough to activities, but not right in Indianapolis and in an nice area.
We've stayed here twice now and have loved it both times! It's PERFECT for kids with the outdoor space, animals to pet, and horses to go see. We had 8 adults and 7 kids (aged 3 and under). The house is perfect size to fit our big group and allows space for us adults to have fun after the kids are down at night. Kitchen is spacious and works for all of us too. Amazing staff down at the barn helped us and allowed the kids to experience the horses. Highly recommend!
We had so much for our reunion at this location! The animals were a blast for the kids to see throughout our stay. The owners were available and friendly people. We will definitely keep this place in mind for our next trip!
This is the 3rd year that we have stayed here! Close to the convention center and all things Indy. We love being able to cook meals and play games together as a group. Plenty of space outside for the kids to run around.
Our daughter got married in linzton and we rented the cabin and her mom rented the cottage. It was amazing. Clean. Close to the event site. Cool animals. And a great pond.
We had a fun time together as a family at this property. It was clean, comfortable and there was good communication with the owner . We enjoyed having access to the lake. Great memories were made here and our grandchildren liked the petting zoo too.
The Cottage afforded my family party of ten the perfect space. Every individual couple/family had their own bedroom and bathroom space. The kitchen and dining area was excellent for preparing food and playing games all at the same time. Chuck and Marie, the owners, are responsive to all communication but we never have any problems and always enjoy our stay!
The place is absolutely adorable and more than accommodating for a family getaway or friends that live in different parts of the country to get together & have a fun weekend. It’s not far from downtown and other areas around the Indianapolis area. The hosts are nice, accommodating people. I would definitely stay again.
Perfect location - not to far from Indianapolis, yet quiet and peaceful. Love the patio and the kids loved the animals. Having two tables in the kitchen area was so nice. There was seating for everyone in one space so you did not feel disconnected. Bedrooms are slightly set off from the gathering spaces which is really nice. Will definitely stay here again!
What a delight this property is! The owners are super friendly, easy going and responded quickly to any questions. The home is charming and comfortable and that porch ❤️❤️❤️ We had a blast walking around the property, seeing the animals, kids enjoyed the paddle boat, canoe and even jumped off the dock to swim! My only regret is that we didn’t stay longer.
Wonderful stay! Perfect activities for all ages. Our only issue was there was no wifi. We think the modem wasn’t working. Good thing was, we really didn’t need it.
The house and property was perfect for our three grown kids and spouses and 6 grandchildren. We enjoyed fishing in the pond, pony rides and lots of outdoor area for games and running around. The kitchen was well stocked, the air conditioning was great and the WiFi worked great. Communication with host was excellent. This was our second stay and we plan another trip here in 2026.
What a lovely comfortable home! We often have trouble finding places big enough, this home was perfect. Communication was easy and quick, the house was spotless, and the kitchen was amazing! Our only regret was that we did not have time to visit the petting zoo.
