About this property

A-Frame, hidden oasis, no need to go anywhere. All woods, much to enjoy.

A piece-of-heaven that even locals are surprised is here.
Whether you are seeking an enchanting place where you can hibernate for days with no need to leave due to the comfort and beauty of this space, both inside and out... or you hope to venture out for exploration, this private, cozy, completely redone, A-frame, 2BR, which sleeps 6-8, is what you are looking for. Situated on 2 acres of woods, abutting 2700 acres of DNR property, sitting 80-feet above, and overlooking Big Walnut Creek, Smith Cabin is a place where you will find peace and tranquility, whether from the front porch, the campfire patio, or the tree tops, while lounging in the impressive over-hanging back screened-in deck (with a bed for sleeping on milder nights). Snuggle inside the cozy bungalow, furnished with all the conveniences. Sleep comfortably on one of the four memory foam beds (including sofa bed), using blackout curtains. Venture out to explore the many local attractions, including state parks, hiking/walking trails, and Indiana's nearly 100 covered bridges (one which is only a half-mile down the rarely-travelled, gravel road). Take advantage of the strong, free, high-speed internet and cell tower signal. Bring streaming device as cabin has no TV.

Beautiful A-frame & views!
The Smith’s were so kind, stayed in contact throughout the stay and were extremely easy to work with. The cabin is absolutely stunning, a little slice of heaven and a perfect place for a getaway with plenty of stars! We will absolutely be coming back!

Beautiful, cozy cabin with great hosts
My fianceé and I had the most peaceful stay in this cozy a-frame cabin on the bluff. It has all the necessities to be comfortable while still giving us a much-needed disconnect from the city. We cooked all our meals in the well-stocked kitchen, and enjoyed sleeping upstairs in the large, comfortable bed. Debbie the kind host was very communicative and made sure we had everything we needed. We were lucky to have a nice snow fall that made our hike on the country road even more magical. We'll definitely be back!

There is elevation in Indiana?!
Wow. Literally feels like you’re in the canopy of the trees when you’re on the enclosed porch. The main bed was super comfy, but we moved down to sleep on the loveseat(?) because it was so special out there…you’re laying up in the trees and overlooking the river below. Everything was great, clean, communicative host (Debbie), etc. But that porch stands out!!

About the host

Hosted by Debbie Smith

Host profile image
We are Curt and Debbie Smith, and it is our sole desire to share with others this special place that is a true gift from God. We hope and pray that others can appreciate what we have come to love about these woods, and these ravines, and this cabin... and experience it as the respite that it has been for us and others,

[Important to Note] While VRBO guests can be assured they will be the only occupants during the entirety of their stay, guests will quickly notice that Smith Cabin is also enjoyed by the owners. Signage has been thoughtfully placed inside the cabin to assist guests regarding "owners" items and closets to avoid.

Why they chose this property

As we said before, God's plan was for us to have this place. That is the only explanation for how we were able to find it.

What makes this property unique

Where do we begin. It's beautiful. It's private. It's safe. Everywhere we look we see uniqueness...from the treetop setting and Walnut Creek, 80 feet down, behind the cabin; to the wooded-ravine-terrain on three sides of where the cabin perches; to the 2700 acres of DNR woods as our neighbor; to the A-frame that we were able to design from the studs; to the Rolling Stone covered bridge 1/2 mile away; to our gravel road traced on maps since 1867, yet drawing very few cars; to the small town of Bainbridge, offering groceries and restaurants only 8 minutes away... these are just some of the reasons Smith Cabin stands out.
