We never left, nor did we want to leave! Everything is absolutely beautiful . The entire cabin and grounds had so many elements of excellent craftsmanship, hospitality, and many details.

Listing doesn't do justice to how amazing this place is!

I have stayed in many rentals over the years and this is probably the best stay I've ever had. Melanie was very kind, responded quickly to any questions we had before and during our stay, and was just the ideal host. The cabin is very well appointed, with all of the kitchen and bathroom needs you can think of. The fireplace, hot tub, luxury bathroom and stocked kitchen made for a very comfortable, cozy stay. I hope we can come back again some day!

Quiet Getaway

We stayed over Christmas weekend to have a nice, relaxing holiday and it was perfect. Melanie has everything in the cabin you could possibly need and then some. Very clean and well taken care off. Would definitely stay again when in the area. Our favorite parts were the great fireplace with wood provided and the back porch bed where we listened to the rain. Thank you for letting us use your wonderful cabin in the woods.

Definitely a Cabin Porch Paradise

Everything about the cabin and property was even better than described. Very clean. Beautifully decorated. Incredibly well stocked like being at home. Beds and bedding are very soft amd comfortable. So private and quiet. Plenty of firewood prvided to have a fire the whole 3 days we stayed. Five star experience for sure.

We came for our 23 year wedding anniversary. This place is so perfect! It's so relaxing. She has thought of everything, from little things like bath bombs and loofah, men's shampoo and body wash to a fully stocked kitchen. There was even bird seed for the critters. What a relaxing place stay.

Amazing communication

Power was out from the storm and she reached out days early to make us aware. Communication daily as to power and day of we ended up having to stay elsewhere which was out of her control. Her forthcoming nature allowed us to be prepared for a change. We will hopefully stay there if we visit Indiana again

We absolutely loved our entire experience here! We’ve stayed at so many cabins in Brown County through the years and this is now our favorite by far! Melanie has given thought to every detail, the kitchen was stocked, firepit was totally set up for easy enjoyment, beds super comfortable, and the place is just beautiful! We will be back for sure!
