About this property

1859 Historic Log Cabin, pet friendly and 5 minutes to Nashville!

Nestled on four acres of the idyllic, wooded hills of Brown County, just 3.5 miles from Nashville and Bean Blossom, rests Grandma Barnes Cabin. Our charming private hideaway offers all the modern comforts you desire while retaining the rustic ambiance of a traditional Brown County cabin. 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, and the spacious screened-in porch provides the perfect space to unwind and watch the wildlife pass by. Delight in a romantic evening on the backyard patio while grilling on the BBQ and enjoying the ambiance of the surrounding woodlands at night. Your furry friend will find this retreat as welcoming as you do, as we gladly accommodate your pet.

Our cozy cabin provides a unique accommodation experience, fusing our original 1949 cabin with an 1859 cabin for a seamless blend of history and modern convenience. Please note that our cabin does have a steep driveway, so we recommend using a front-wheel or four-wheel-drive vehicle. However, with a steady pace up the hill, you will experience a wonder-filled stay at Grandma Barnes Cabin. Make your Brown County experience memorable and book your stay at Grandma Barnes Cabin today.
