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.

Beautiful rustic setting, Pioneer Day nostalgia

Jim is an awesome host. Very congenial. The Jacuzzi bathtub was the best I’ve ever used. Did not love the steep stairs to get up to flights to our room nor all of the ladybugs on the ceiling though I understand what happened. We were in the middle of a forest and they were brought in to feast on an infestation of other creatures. Breakfast was good and enjoyed the company of the Mother and daughter from Chicago and South Bend. Wi-Fi was spotty and often weak so I could not get done when I needed to.

Great property, convenient location for activities in Brown County, friendly host, and excellent breakfast. 4 stars instead of 5 because the walls are a little thin, which makes you vulnerable to noise from other guests.
