Nashville Trip
Liked the place. The kitchen and living area was great. The one bathroom was through a bedroom which was inconvenient for us. Mattresses not great. The neighborhood was quiet. Overall we had a great time and enjoyed our stay. Great communication with the host.

Where to begin
When we arrived the front door was wide open to the outside and it was 10 degrees outside causing the inside to be 50. The hot tub leaks and the back patio and stairs up from parking were covered in ice. The code lock on the door stopping working on our second day. Luckily there was a key box with the same code. Several large windows have no curtains or blinds and neighbors can see right in. Is a nice close to everything location just needs some better upkeep.

Nashville Peace
We really enjoyed our visit. The cottage was amazing. The sheets smelled wonderful and the house was really clean when we got there. When we had a problem with the lock, we contacted the host and they were able to get us back in the house. I would highly recommend!! Definitely coming back again.

Comfortable Quiet and Clean
Access for mobility limited. Dog door was very small. Very close to town for shopping and restaurants. Wish the hot tub had a hand rail for steady access. Lots of stairs and uneven concrete walks make it challenging. Very nice open floor plan and natural light.

Quaint honeymoon location
Wonderful 2-bdrm home in the heart of Nashville, IN was the backdrop for our fall wedding celebration. Moondance Vacation Rentals provided all of the amenities of home, and then some. Shopping & dining within easy walking distance. Fall colors in abundance!! Amazing state park a 10-min drive away & a challenging golf course an additional 5-mins past that. The home itself is a renovated studio of a renowned Hoosier artist & has an amazing story! Just add yourself & some local groceries to create a wonderful stay for yourself and/or that special person in your life. We will DEFINATELY keep Moondance Vacation properties at the top of our list for our next local getaway!!

Rustic Cottage… perfect fit for Nashville, IN.
It’s not a 5 Star Hotel by any means, but perfect for a Nashville Indiana and Brown County Vibe! Main Living area very comfortable, the 1 bathroom a little small, but clean with great unlimited hot water and clean. Price may seem high to some but I feel it’s priced fairly given all things considered. So the bathroom fan is a little noisy, but it works, LOL. If it were a brand new pristine house, would be 2x price. Again felt perfect for Nashville..

Excellent location- in a eclectic cottage
The property is very cute and situated right in downtown Nashville. The interior had a lot of vintage charm and the small fenced outdoor area was great for the dog (but he really like the beautiful grounds around the library right next door).

We had a wonderful time hiking and photographing nature in Brown County State Park and the house was very close to the park and to Nashville. We enjoying shopping the shops as well. Only downside was no fenced in yard for our pet. Otherwise all was good.
