About this property

Secluded, pet-friendly close to Nashville!

You won’t believe you are only 8 minutes from downtown Nashville when you pull up the driveway to this beautiful retreat. Super secluded on 5 wooded acres, this 2-bedroom, 2-bath log cabin is equally quaint for a romantic getaway and fun for a weekend with your family or close friends.

If you want to get outside and meander through Nashville or check out the state park, just 12 minutes away, there is much to do. Bloomington and the Indiana University campus are under 30 minutes on a scenic drive via IN-45, so your location is perfectly situated for campus visits for any reason. If the weather calls for a little less outdoor adventure, you can sit under the wraparound porch and read a book on the swing, dine on the screened-in porch after preparing a meal in the fully furnished kitchen, play a game, watch TV, or gather with those you are with and take time to catch up on life’s journeys.

There is plenty of space and area for everyone to stretch out and recharge. No matter what your day brings, you will enjoy being able to wind down lounging in the hot tub and sitting around the fire pit at night. Just don’t forget to bring all the fixings for s’mores!

We hope that Deer Dance Log Cabin can be a place where you will want to make special memories year after year. There are many updates happening now and planned for the near future. Internet is now available, but it is totally okay if you disconnect and don’t use it!

In addition to the king and queen beds, there is also a full-sized futon.

Deer Dance Log Cabin has a fairly steep drive. It is helpful if you have a front-wheel or 4-wheel drive vehicle. When going up the hill, maintain a steady speed; you should not have any problems.

PET-FRIENDLY PROPERTY: There is a $75 fee per pet. Moondance Vacation Homes proudly donates a portion to the Brown County Humane Society when you bring your pet and pay your pet fee.

All fireplaces are seasonal and available for use from October 1st to April 1st.

ALL EVENTS, DAY GUESTS, AND PARTIES ARE PROHIBITED WITHOUT PRIOR WRITTEN APPROVAL FROM PROPERTY MANAGEMENT. Effective July 1, 2025, the county has raised the innkeepers' tax from 5% to 8%.

Anniversary Getaway

This cabin was very clean and adorably decorated (HUGE moose antlers on living room wall). We loved the wrap-around deck complete with swing and rocking chairs and a screened dining area and very nice hot tub. Kitchen had everything we needed. The driveway was absolutely NO problem to navigate with our AWD Fusion. You’re smack in the middle of the forest with here. Highly recommend.

Very nice cabin in beautiful setting

Cabin was well appointed, comfortable and very clean. Wooded hillside location is secluded and beautiful. Just my wife and I but can accommodated additional guests. Several small touches included (e.g. all light switches are labeled) that made our stay a breeze. Would definitely book again.

Great long weekend getaway

My husband rented this cabin for a long weekend with our dog. Really nice property, very private, well maintained and very clean. We did have some issues getting up the steep drive which had ice and snow on it from recent storms but not much you can do about that. Also, occasional mouse ran across the floor but it is winter in the woods. We would rent this cabin again.

Beautiful Wood Cabin

We loved this cabin! It so nicely decorated, especially for Christmas, there was a beautiful decorated tree. The place had everything you may need with a lot of special touches. The wrap around porch is amazing, partially screened. Very private. We had a very peaceful and enjoyable time here. We definitely will come back again. Lastly, it was convenient to downtown Nashville, but well removed from the action. Thanks for sharing your beautiful cabin!

Such a quiet and beautiful cabin. The owner has provided all of the necessities minus the food. Perfectly quiet but close enough to town for your meals. Cooking at home was a breeze with everything there to use. The hot tub was well maintained and very clean. Bathrooms Bathrooms were

Beautiful Cabin both Secluded and Close to Town

This is a very nicely appointed spacious cabin that feels very secluded. This is probably the quietest rental we’ve ever stayed at. Yet, it’s also super close to town (7 min drive). The drive up is pretty steep but once you do it, you realize it’s not so bad. The grounds, though spacious, are also very steep so there’s really no way to walk around/ walk the dog. We ended taking him to a nearby park which was very nice.

Awesome experience at Deer Dance Cabin

We celebrated our 50th anniversary in the solitude and beautiful location of Deer Dance Cabin. The cabin provided for all our needs and then some! We loved its comforts and outdoor amenities, especially the hot tub!! It was an awesome experience we will always treasure.
