Rustic recreation room near Nashville!

Now with Wi-Fi! Looking for a place to take heart? That is what the owners did when they built Livin' the Dream. Located on a hilltop with a view of the valley below, this setting confirms the alluring attraction of Brown County. However, should you need to leave this four-bedroom, three-bath custom log cabin, the town of Nashville is just six miles up the road, with Brown County State Park being even closer.

So many amenities and custom features make this a comfortable and fun spot to relax, recharge, and create lasting memories with family and friends. This cabin is loaded with design elements popular on all the DIY shows and constructed by local craftsmen using local materials. The house accommodates up to ten guests with a fully equipped kitchen, a living room with comfortable seating, a fireplace, and a 55" TV. A pool table, air hockey, and foosball table, along with 500+ movies and board games, are all part of the indoor entertainment. All bedrooms have TVs and DVD players. Suppose the beauty alone is not enough to invite you outdoors. In that case, you'll find 150 feet of covered deck, outdoor games, outdoor seating, hiking trails, and wildlife viewing. In addition to the four bedrooms, there is also a sofa sleeper available for use.

This cabin sits atop a hill at the end of an elevated driveway. Although a four-wheel drive isn't needed, please downshift at the bottom of the driveway.

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!

ALL EVENTS, DAY GUESTS, AND PARTIES ARE PROHIBITED WITHOUT PRIOR WRITTEN APPROVAL FROM PROPERTY MANAGEMENT. Effective July 1, 2025, the county has raised the innkeepers' tax from 5% to 8%.
The cabin is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 3 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a dryer, a fireplace, and a sofa bed.

Beautiful place, wonderful time!

We visited a few weeks shy of the leaves really turning and can only imagine how beautiful it would be then. The house was very comfortable and clean. The property is beautiful. The outdoor firepit is great. At most, we had 9 people (all 60 and older) one night and we were all quite comfortable.

A joyful, wooded retreat!

This property is a wonderful backcountry getaway for medium to large groups. All the amenities and entertainment tucked away on top of a serene, forested hillside. A fantastic choice, and worth every penny. And lots of fun shops, art, and restaurants down the hill in Nashville!

Friends weekend getaway

4 couples had a weekend getaway here! It was so much fun and simply beautiful. The size and layout of the house made things so nice. The downstairs held so many games and puzzles that kept us al busy! We had a wonderful time. The only thing we wish we had was king size beds in each room. We drew names for the rooms since only one had a king size bed. We highly recommend this place and looking forward to next time!

Annual friends trip

Beautiful location. Very private. Lots of room to spread out. Spent one day in Nashville browsing in the quaint shops. Went to lake Monroe the other day. We had a great stay and would definitely stay at Livin the Dream again. We never had to communicate with the property manager so hard to rate.
