Slice of Serenity

Incredible experience. Found this place randomly online making travel plans. We stayed for a long weekend and this was an absolute gem, even better than we expected based on the listing. A pristine house with lovingly maintained landscaping and interiors on top of a hill, with lake views (early spring) and cozy outdoor lighting at night. A million little porches and spots to get and drink coffee or wine together and forget the world. The place was immaculately clean and had everything we would’ve wanted stocked. Melanie, the host, was kind and communicative when I reached out but otherwise totally respected our privacy. The only reservation I had on booking was whether the other nearby structure visible in the photos was an inhabited house, but it’s just a barn/ storage building. If I ever have reason to come this way again, this would be the first place I’d book. Already a little nostalgic for it.

Listing doesn't do justice to how amazing this place is!

I have stayed in many rentals over the years and this is probably the best stay I've ever had. Melanie was very kind, responded quickly to any questions we had before and during our stay, and was just the ideal host. The cabin is very well appointed, with all of the kitchen and bathroom needs you can think of. The fireplace, hot tub, luxury bathroom and stocked kitchen made for a very comfortable, cozy stay. I hope we can come back again some day!

Definitely a Cabin Porch Paradise

Everything about the cabin and property was even better than described. Very clean. Beautifully decorated. Incredibly well stocked like being at home. Beds and bedding are very soft amd comfortable. So private and quiet. Plenty of firewood prvided to have a fire the whole 3 days we stayed. Five star experience for sure.

About the host

Hosted by Melanie Pool

I grew up in the country living in a log cabin surrounded by nature, a pond, lots of animals and with horses. My days as a child were spent outside mostly hiking, exploring on horseback, fishing and playing in the creek.

The nearest town was Nashville, IN home of many artists including my late Grandmother Kaye Pool. I spent many days in Grammy's studio while she painted, watching attentively, daydreaming of the places on canvas she created. Mainly scenes from from around the area capturing it's true natural beauty in every season imagined.

My family owned a Christmas tree farm in the earlier days. I can still remember the smell of freshly sheered pine trees, in the fields full of wild native prairie flowers. During the winter season taking families out to cut a tree, keeping count of earnings in a coffee can from each tree. Later, the family purchased a sawmill and proceeded into the lumber and logging business. Many days were spent in the forest with my Dad identifying trees and enjoying nature.

I choose nursing for my profession and spent many years caring for others. During that time I always felt a pull to nature and found peace in the forest. Cabin Porch Paradise was not built as a vacation home originally, but a private residence that I lived in for over 20 years. Situated on 20 acres atop a ridge the cabin was a dream come true from a vision long ago derived from my childhood memories and surroundings.
