Super comfortable country B&B with really friendly owner/host and great homemade hot breakfast. Room was good sized, and very comfortable bed. Just :15 outside cute town of Nashville with lots of shops & restaurants, and :10 from the huge Brown County State Park with several hiking trails.

You will get a very Indiana experience sleeping here. Wake up with a rooster and great coffee. The bathroom was small and the pillow was hard, but we slept well.

Cute little B&B in the woods near where we were running a race and needed a place to stay for one night. The owner was very kind and helpful. The room was clean and neat, all amenities we needed were provided. Wish we could have had breakfast with them in the morning, but our race started before breakfast time!

Big Fun at Lil Black Bear Inn

In spite of rain coming to Brown County, my fiance' and I celebrated our 20th anniversary at Lil Black Bear Inn, located in a rustic setting. Hosts Jim and Jill couldn't have been more welcoming and gracious. Their complimentary breakfast was a thing of beauty and got our day off to a wonderful start as we dined with other folks who'd also braved the wet elements on their travels to stop at this hamlet. We're hopeful of stopping there again, as our quaint room offered us rest and relaxation with either Columbus or Nashville mere minutes away. On the immediate property, quail were frolicking as we took in the forestation with fog mingling with the rain to create a pleasurable experience we hope to return to again soon.

Not far away from anything in Nashville, IN. They are just about 10 minutes east of Town. Jim and Jill were awsome folks and made the stay very welcoming. Nashville, IN is a wonderful place for a getaway.

Great hospitality provided, the home cooked breakfast was a treat. It was in a great location, still in the peaceful country yet close to dining, shopping, and parks. Our room was cozy, clean, and very comfortable.
