Hilltop Cottage w/ Hot Tub, Views & Near Yellowwood Trails 2BR, 2BA

Escape to the wooded hills of Brown County at Cowboy Way Cottage, a peaceful country retreat ideally positioned between Nashville and Bloomington. Surrounded by trees and tucked high on a hill, this cozy cottage pairs scenic views, a private hot tub, a stocked fishing pond, hiking access, and a spacious outdoor deck with an easy location for exploring southern Indiana. Whether you're planning a couples' getaway, a small family trip, or a weekend filled with hiking, biking, and outdoor adventure, Cowboy Way makes it easy to slow down and enjoy the country.

Inside, the cottage offers a relaxed, comfortable layout with multiple sleeping areas and two bathrooms. The loft includes a queen bed and two twin beds, while the attached bedroom suite features another queen bed and private bathroom. The main living area includes a sleeper sofa, TV, large windows overlooking the surrounding landscape, and an eat-in kitchen equipped for meals at home.

Outside is where Cowboy Way really shines. Soak beneath the trees in the private hot tub, cast a line in the fully stocked fishing pond, gather around the firepit, or enjoy dinner from the grill on the oversized deck. The property sits along a private county road ending near Yellowwood State Forest, putting hiking and nature watching close at hand while downtown Nashville, Brown County State Park, Bloomington, and other area attractions are just a short drive away.

Cowboy Way offers something different from a typical cabin stay: a hot tub, fishing pond, hilltop views, hiking access, and plenty of outdoor space all in one convenient location between Nashville and Bloomington. Guests can spend the morning fishing, hike Yellowwood State Forest in the afternoon, explore downtown Nashville for dinner, and finish the evening soaking in the hot tub beneath the trees. It's an easygoing Brown County getaway built around fresh air, outdoor adventure, and time together.

The owners' residence is located on the same property, adjacent to Cowboy Way Cottage. Guests have their own accommodations and private outdoor areas, and the owners respect guest privacy throughout the stay. This arrangement also means help is nearby if an unexpected property issue arises, while guests can continue to enjoy the peaceful setting and their own space.
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find a flat-screen TV with satellite channels and a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a fireplace, a sofa bed, and a coffee maker.

Boys trip

My dad, brother, and I stayed for a weekend boys trip and had a great time! Caught some fish in the pond, watched a movie in the living room, hiked at Brown County, and enjoyed downtown Nashville. This rental is in a great location and couldn’t be better for a boys trip. Nothing crazy fancy, but for the price it gets the job done perfectly.

Nice but a bit too cozy

Location was ok, located between Bloomington and Nashville. It was right next to the owners house, so it wasn’t private, but they didn’t bother us. Parking wasn’t the greatest. Had lots on visitors (ladybugs), not sure how they were getting in the house. Over we had a nice stay, but wouldn’t want to stay here longer than a couple days as it was smaller than expected.

Pictures are deceiving

Pictures and description are deceiving. The place is literally in spitting range of owners house. No privacy at all. And it cost a lot of money to stay there. Plus it says pet friendly but doesnt tell you they will charge you later for your pet.

Little getaway

Very clean and cozy, the hot tub was perfect. The cabin is rather close to someone’s house and we could hear their kiddos playing in the snow. We didn’t mind at all, we have small kids ourself so it reminded us of home. We will most likely return!

Just too dirty

Whole place needs dusting and a scrub down. Dust in blinds, lamp shades and doors and baseboards were gross. Whoever hung decor should have brought a ladder because oddly nothing is above eye level, even the curtains. Luckily the shower and refrigerator were clean. Generally disappointing, broken experience, best part was being outside. Whole house tilts as well.

The Cowboy Cabin was the perfect little spot for a girls weekend. Although cozy the outside provided all the extra we needed. There were a number of bugs in the house and it could use a deeper clean but all in all a great value and a great experience!

Girl’s Trip

My dear friend & I traveled to Nashville, IN for a girl’s trip of antiquing, shopping and fun. Cowboy Way was the perfect size for us. We appreciated the DVD player, as there ended up being a rainy day. We rented a couple of movies from Red Box, and stayed in. One small issue for us is that the beds are upstairs, and the one bathroom is downstairs. This isn’t mentioned in the description, as is a mild inconvenience. Also, the cabin itself is extremely close to a permanent residence. Once again, minor. But...this isn’t a “cabin in the woods” by itself if that is what you’re looking for. Overall, we had a wonderful experience, and would recommend the Cowboy Cottage. We also loved eating at Big Woods Hard Truth Hills!
