With no marked trails, you can use your GPS to forge your own path through hundreds of acres of pristine woods.



    🛌 The Lodge Layout: Space for Everyone

    Inside, you’ll find four beautifully renovated sleeping areas, each designed with high-end finishes and peaceful forest views.The Luxury Loft & Custom Bunks: Located just up the stairs from the game room, this airy, open-air sleeping loft features custom-built bunk beds. It's a guest favorite that adds a "classic cabin" feel with a modern twist, keeping everyone connected to the laughter below.

Our gourmet space is "double-everything" so you never run out of room, featuring 2 refrigerators, 2 stoves, and 2 dishwashers. You’ll also love the dedicated coffee bar for early mornings, plus a built-in high-capacity ice maker and beverage fridge to keep your poolside drinks cold all day long.

    ☀️ Frequently Asked Questions

    Is there private hiking available on-site?

    Yes! You have 16 private acres to explore, and our property line serves as a gateway to hundreds of acres of the Hoosier National Forest. Because this section has no formal trails, it offers a rare "off-map" experience perfect for backcountry hikers, nature photographers, and those seeking total seclusion.



    What are the best summer activities at the Lodge?

    Most guests spend their days moving between the 20x40 private heated pool, the private fishing pond, and the indoor gaming area. Evenings are best spent relaxing in the private hot tub or stargazing across our "Dark Sky" estate.



    How does the "Double-Chef Kitchen" work for groups?

    Large groups need extra space for meal prep and cold drinks. By providing two refrigerators, two stoves, and two dishwashers, you can easily store a week’s worth of groceries without playing Tetris or waiting around on cleanup.



    Do you have any exceptions to your cancellation policy?To ensure your peace of mind, we highly recommend purchasing travel insurance at checkout. Because we are a unique, single-property destination that tends to book months in advance, we are unable to offer refunds for cancellations, but comprehensive travel protection can cover your stay if unexpected plans arise.

We loved staying at this property. It was so amazing and peaceful. We enjoyed the pool, fishing pond, hot tub, movie theater room, arcade games, fire pit, and the grill. Each time we thought of something we may need to run and get - it was already there. We would love to stay here again.

Honestly this was probably my favorite rental I’ve ever booked. Jennifer’s communications were amazing. The house and amenities exceeded our expectations. I hosted my daughters Sweet 16 and it was the best weekend. I am grateful for the house and the location to spend such a special day with her and her closest friends.

The lodge was a perfect getaway for our group! So clean and cozy from the soft blankets to the yummy soaps. This host thought of it all. We especially enjoyed the hot tub and coffee/hot cocoa bar. The host had great communication and a kind “no chores” checkout policy. We hope to be back soon!

I’ve stayed at several rental properties where there are placards everywhere saying don’t turn on this switch or don’t even think about opening this door. Those things always make the property feel less welcoming. This place is the opposite. No placards and place where I felt invited to use the many amenities available to their guests. I especially appreciated the “no chores” checkout policy! Thanks for a great stay!

Great place for family!

We stayed a couple weeks ago with our family, with kids 6 and under. The house was clean and ready for us and amenities were great! The kids loved swimming and the hot tub, and exploring the property. Host was responsive and easy to get in touch with! She even mailed back a kindle we left. Would definitely recommend staying!

Beatiful location!! - Highly recommend

My family (ranging from age 9 - 67) had a wonderful time. There was something for everyone. From fishing, to paddle boating to hiking to shooting pool and watching movies!! We had outdoor fires in the fire pit and soaking under the stars in the jaccuzi! This place had everything you need. Communication with the owner was excellent!!

AMAZING. LOVELY. BEAUTIFUL!

If you're looking for a place for a family or friends getaway this is it!! We had the most wonderful time staying at Jennifer's cabin! We had a group of 10 (6 adults 4 kids) and they thought of everything a large group would need! There's plenty of space for people to sleep, lots of seating (inside and out) and so much to do on the property! They have swimming, a pond for fishing and kayaking, a hot tub, arcade games (a hit with the kids), a separate movie room, and the hiking in the National Forest that borders the property is a plus! It feels like it's own little patch of heaven and we couldn't have asked for a better time. THANK YOU!

Beautiful, Spacious Home with Amazing Amenities and Scenic Location!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay!! The open-concept main area was lovely, and the kitchen nicely stocked. The patio was a highlight, with a gas grill and plenty of seating, and we ate outside almost every meal! The heated pool and hot tub were a huge hit with our crew—being able to enjoy the pool even in cooler months like end of Sept/October is a bonus for sure! The bedrooms were also very comfortable, and we loved that every room had a king bed. The kids loved the bunk area as well!We spent a lot of time just taking in the peaceful surroundings, and relaxing in and out of the house. It’s also conveniently located just 25 minutes from Nashville which made for a scenic drive. This home truly had everything we needed for a perfect getaway. We're looking forward to coming back!!

Fantastic Stay! Highly Recommended!

We loved our stay at The Lodge and had an amazing experience. The property is exactly as described, if not better. The pictures don’t do it justice, we were blown away! The space was incredibly clean, well-maintained, and the location was perfect for a relaxing getaway. We had the best time and felt right at home hanging around the house. The pool was a highlight, and we spent hours enjoying it. The lake nearby was absolutely beautiful. The home theater was another great feature, perfect for winding down with a movie at night. The master bedroom and guest rooms were excellent. The amenities were top-notch, everything from the kitchen appliances to the Wi-Fi worked perfectly. The check-in process was seamless, and Jennifer provided clear instructions and was quick to respond to any questions we had. Overall, we highly recommend staying at Jennifer's place and look forward to visiting again in the future!

AMAZING getaway!

We were a group of 8 women who visited for a weekend in January. This home could not have been more perfect for what we were looking for and was one of the nicest vacation rentals I have ever stayed in! The cabin was very spacious (while still feeling cozy), and had every amenity needed to enjoy a weekend away. The three large king-sized bed bedrooms were lovely and the bunk beds were very comfortable too. The double fridge allowed us to store all of our food and we took advantage of home-cooked meals in the well-stocked kitchen. There was even coffee! A must for our rental was a hot tub and the one at the cabin was a perfect 105 degrees upon arrival! Jennifer was a fabulous communicator and answered questions for us along the way. The cabin exceeded our already high expectations and we would love to go back in the summer when we can take advantage of even more of the outdoor amenities offered. Thanks for a great stay!

Unforgettable Reunion and Birthday Bash: The Ultimate Venue with Endless Fun, Spacious Comfort, and Incredible Amenities!

I booked this venue for a friend's reunion and surprise birthday party, and it exceeded all expectations! Jennifer was incredibly attentive to our needs and questions. The pool and hot tub were major highlights. We went hiking and also used the boat at the pond. I was initially concerned that there wouldn’t be enough space since most places I’ve stayed in Brown County have been small, but we had plenty of room for everyone to spread out, and there were numerous activities to enjoy. Between the hiking, boating, pool, fire pit, and game room, everyone was thoroughly entertained and had an amazing time! We also appreciated the kitchen + main area, which made it easy to host our group, featuring two ovens and a bar area and huge table to sit everyone at. I can see how much love and thoughtfulness went into this space. I will definitely book this place again; my wife is even planning to have her girls' trip here next year!

Wonderful (post-)Christmas stay at the Lodge! Great communication from host, no issues checking in or out. Everything was clean and ready for us, as promised. Beautiful setting. The theatre room and game rooms were a big hit. Everyone loved the pinball machine. The bunk beds were perfect for the kiddos. Three king beds were perfect for the three adult couples. Three full baths & on-demand hot water meant no delays in getting showered/ready. The coffee bar was a popular spot, and the kitchen was stocked with plenty of cookware for homemade meals each night for 9 people. The host provided beautiful Christmas decorations in every room, including the bedrooms, and it definitely made our Christmas get together more spirited. Having Roku on the TVs made it simple for us to connect/disconnect our own streaming services. We all watched a movie in the theater room together from the expansive dvd selection. We all really loved our stay. The only thing we missed, because it was winter, was a smaller table to sit around to play cards with 4-6 people; in the summer we would have just sat outside on the patio. We made due sitting around the kitchen island. Thank you!
