Renew your spirits surrounded by nature at its finest within the walls of our lovely one-bedroom, one-bath retreat, complete with an inflatable queen mattress that can accommodate up to four guests.

The bright and airy kitchen and dining area provide ample sunlight while you dine, while the spacious screened-in porch provides the perfect space to unwind and watch the wildlife pass by.

Beautiful and relaxing

We used Grandma Barnes Cabin as our base for the April 2024 solar eclipse and could not have been happier! The cabin and property were both beautiful and were the perfect place for us to unwind for the weekend. We didn't spend much time in Nashville itself due to the crowds in town for the event, but did a lot of hikes in Brown County State Park (some of them multiple times) and loved all of them. Best of all, the eclipse wound up lining up with a big gap in the trees above the cabin so we didn't even have to leave and fight the traffic/crowds to view it. It was truly perfect. The cabin itself was as clean as is possible for a rustic cabin to be, and was well stocked with all of the basic amenities we needed. Unlike some of the other reviewers we did not have cell service at the cabin so we were totally disconnected for the weekend, but for us that's not a bad thing. We had not been to Brown County before but are already talking about going back, and we will absolutely stay here again if it's available.

Perfect getaway

A perfect getaway for myself and my dog. I felt completely safe traveling alone and my dog loved exploring the grounds. The cabin felt incredibly comfortable and clean. No Wi-Fi but texting worked and the tv had enough stations to feel connected. Perfect distance to brown county state park…. And the town of Nashville was on the way which was a cute town to explore.

Quiet Getaway

The nicest rustic cabin we've stayed in yet. Had everything we needed. Bring firewood if you want to use the fireplace. Bring coffee. Nice/interesting primitive decor and antiques. A rebuilt log cabin which was really cool. Nice welcome book with information. We wanted a quiet getaway to relax over New years and plan out our next year. Very close to Nashville downtown. No WIFI, but we wanted to unplug. We did have enough cell coverage for phone calls and checking email/texts. The stairs in front are quite steep for anyone that has disabilities. However, you may be able to enter from the back, I didn't check that out. Steep driveway, we did fine with our truck. This would be a great cabin for summertime. Had a really nice deck and screened in porch. Would book again.
