About this property
Private Log Cabin Retreat | Pond, Hot Tub, Game Room, Sleeps 8
This cabin built in 2011 is a 3-bedroom, 3.5 bath cedar log cabin sitting in the midst of over a hundred acres of adjacent forest. There are just a few steps down to the private pond. The plentiful fish, birds, and dragonflies are just part of the bucolic scene. It’s wonderfully secluded from all the hubbub of everyday life, but a short scenic drive to Nashville and Brown County State Park, or the quaint town of Story. The lovely city of Columbus, or the Edinburgh Outlets are only 1/2 hour from here, as are the many adventures of Brown County.
This roomy mountain-style log cabin has a friendly open floor plan that easily accommodates up to 8 people. Come on in and sit around the gas log fireplace in Dad’s recliner, Grampa’s recliner sofa, or one of Mom’s cozy swivel chairs in the corner. The gorgeous yet comfy Great Room shares its vaulted ceiling, hardwood floors, and 46” HD Smart TV with Blu-Ray with the dining room, and the very well equipped kitchen. Downstairs you will find a basement entertainment room with pool table, foosball, a 60" big screen TV and the bar.
Dine outdoors, or in the roomy dining room, or at the bar on the spacious kitchen counter, or...
When sleep beckons, the king-size log bed is most restful in the main floor Master Bedroom, with its attached bath with Mom’s soaker tub, Dad’s shower, and the roomy walk-in closet. The bedroom upstairs boasts another king-size log bed PLUS 2 twin beds, and its own walk-in closet. The upstairs suite is adjacent to its own spacious full bath and opens to the cozy loft for games, puzzles, or just enjoying the views. Back on the main floor there is the homey “Quilt Bedroom” with its queen-size bed, and the main bathroom.
Outside you can settle into a cozy chair on the 36’ deck. Maybe you’ll see a great blue heron stalking fish in the pond; see or hear an owl, a hummingbird, or a great pileated woodpecker. The covered front porch or the sweeping view from the glass-front great room can keep you out of the elements for as long as you wish, but the close-by hot tub beckons you to bask out among the trees and enjoy the views day or night. Perhaps you’ll try to catch a bluegill or largemouth bass or help the kids search for “Mister Big” (one of the resident grass carp) from atop the rocks, along the dam, or one of those little coves over on the east side. Save plenty of time for badminton, croquet, bocce ball, and lawn darts in the play yards, or maybe just a whole lot of sitting and listening to the quiet. Sure Beats Workin’!
Slip down to the patio for a picnic. Gather your folding chairs or just sit on the comfy Adirondack chairs to make s’mores around the campfire pit down at water’s edge. The frogs and crickets will join your sing-along come evening. The deer and turkeys don’t mind you visiting, if you stay really still. And, oh, the stars on a clear night! This is 20 acres of wooded paradise, the way we love it…and soon you will too.
All our cabins have a 3 night minimum for Major Holidays.
Come back again next season, next year, frequently, to see and enjoy this wonderfully relaxing place and see how it just gets better. Ahh!!! Sure Beats Workin’!!

What an amazing cabin! You feel like you're only ones around for miles, yet it is a short 20 minute drive to all that downtown Nashville has to offer! This cabin is beautiful, well stocked, and truly an oasis for a peaceful getaway. We will definitely return!
We loved this property and are already booking again for next year! It is beautiful and secluded the outside area is wonderful with plenty of seating and beautiful scenery. Perfect for eating outside and hanging out and catching up. We never left the property. It is a little challenging to find but once you get the property address our GPS had no trouble finding it. Highly recommend!
We simply loved this cabin and all it had to offer! Clean, cozy, and will definitely book again in the future!

Awesome cabin!
We had a great time.
Pros: Plenty of space inside and out, beautifully decorated, gorgeous property, and a great location for hiking in the state park.
Cons: Having to make an extra stop to pick up & drop off keys, the fireplace pilot light kept going out, and the kitchen drawers and cabinets were so cluttered and full of junk that they didn’t seem too clean.
The house was amazing, and the communication with the property managers was wonderful. We would gladly stay here again!
My husband and I stayed for two days for his birthday. Even though we had to go to the office to check in and to drop off the keys, the process was quick and easy and the ladies there were very nice. The cabin was wonderful and a very nice place to getaway! We had a lot of fun having a fire, playing pool, and enjoying the hot tube. We love to hike, so we were excited to spend a few hours at the nearby state forest. We will definitely be back again in the future!
