A Level UP
This property is noticeably levels above. It is meticulously maintained and cared for by the owners. Attention to detail embracing its' RR history is amazing. Also the wonderful outdoor activities provided made us sorry we didn't have more time to enjoy them as we stayed fir Indy weekend. We will be back!

Adorable property!
We stayed here with a family group for 3 days. The house has wonderful outdoor spaces on a porch, a lower patio and the back yard with a covered porch and fire pit. While the house was small, the outdoor spaces gave us plenty of room to spread out and be together! The location is right on a very busy road, so you have to be ok with the road noise. But the house was very well equipped and maintained. Highly recommended!

Excellent Property
The house was updated, clean, spacious, and comfortable. The outdoor areas were amazing (hot tub, fire pit, covered porches). We were there in December and the firehouse across the street had a huge Christmas decorated area you could walk through. We were close to the main strip, so it was convenient. Our stay was perfect!

Couples Trip!
We are all newlyweds and wanted to start a new yearly tradition of us going on a trip together. I had stayed at this location once before for a bachelorette party and knew that this would be a great spot to start our tradition based on the wonderful experience I had the last time. Once again, this location proved to be top tier in cleanliness, owner response time, activities, and location. I will definitely be returning for a third time! 10/10 would recommend!!

This property and experience exceeded our expectations! The entire process was seamless and the Helmsburg cabin was perfect! We were celebrating my daughters upcoming wedding and the location allowed us close access to quaint restaurants, Nashville shopping, Hard Truth and quiet evenings by the fire out.

Serenity with taste
The house was fantastic! Genuinely impressed with the thought to the decor and activity set up and space for guests. We had a toddlying 14 month old to watch out for when upstairs, but the pictures made that clear to us so nothing unexpected. Surprisingly spacious living area and space! Fantastic recommendations in the guide books and hot tub was clean and a much needed luxury for our long weekend away. Close to everything in the area and absolutely welcoming and warm property!

Spring break weekend/Anniversary
It was a beautiful property and home with something for everyone. They all enjoyed the hot tub. We were able to do family meals in the kitchen. The kids played volleyball out back and loved the fire pit for s’mores. The pavilion with the swings was amazing and the grill was great on the patio with ease of access to all 3 doors. Went in to little Nashville multiple times. Some of us went zip lining at explore brown county while others went for a covered bridge excursion followed by more shopping, Hoosier buddy liquors and the local IGA became usual haunts. We ended the week with dinner at the restraint at Hard Truth for mine and my wife’s anniversary with the family. We were married in brown county. Only thing that could have made it better is if my wife would have found some morel mushrooms she’s on many boards and groups that said they were popping down there. Thank you for having us it was amazing.

Great for family or group of friends.
A unique property with history that was perfect for a family get away. This place was within convenient distance of everything to see and do in Brown County. We had 4 adults and 4 kids (early teens) and the accommodations were great. We ended up spending more time here at the vacation rental than out sight seeing because it was such a great place we just wanted to spend our time there instead of exploring other areas. I highly recommend it.

Why they chose this property


Being true Brown County natives, we carry in our hearts the inherent charm and beauty that define this special place. Our intimate knowledge of the area allows us to present a property that not only offers breathtaking views but also encapsulates the tranquility of the countryside. And here's the magic—while reveling in the peace of rural landscapes, you're just moments away from the vibrant energy and excitement of Nashville.

What makes this property unique

Step into the enchanting embrace of history at our historic gem, a time-traveling haven from the year 1906. In the heart of Brown County, where few properties have been salvaged from such a bygone era, our oasis stands as a testament to preservation and countryside charm, away from the hustle and bustle of town life. What makes it even more unique is the meticulous remodeling we undertook in 2019, starting from the bare essentials of a dirt floor and exterior walls.

Our love for this property runs deep—we've invested not just in its restoration but in creating an extraordinary outdoor space. Picture yourself under the stars, surrounded by the warmth of a fire pit or the bubbling hot tub.

As you explore, don't miss the subtle details—the front of the house often graced by the presence of an eagle perched on a tree branch, keeping a keen eye on a hidden pond across the road. This home, a labor of love and dedication, holds a special place in our hearts. It's not just a rental; it's an invitation to share in the magic of a place where history, nature, and modern comfort converge. And did we mention, it's one of the rare rentals in the area that can comfortably accommodate up to 10 people? Come, let our favorite be yours too, and create memories with your friends and family that will last a lifetime.
