About this property
Peaceful Wayside Cottage in the country 5 miles north of Nashville, IN!
The Wayside Cottage is a charming Cape Cod-style vacation home on five acres. Relaxing is easier than ever with an expansive backyard, a large covered porch, and a wraparound deck. On one level, you'll find the living room, kitchen, dining room, two bedrooms (both with queen-size beds), and one full bathroom. In addition, two twin beds, plenty of play space (toys and games included!), and a gate at the top of the stairs make the loft an excellent place for kids. It takes just 10 minutes to get to the Wayside Cottage from Nashville. It's easy to get here, there, and everywhere. Less than five minutes away are Bill Monroe Music Park and Brown County Dragway; the entertainment options are endless. Want to enjoy a day on the lake? Lake Lemon is less than 10 miles away, so bring your boat over; there is plenty of room to park it at the cottage in the circular drive. While the Wayside Cottage may not have internet, the cell coverage is excellent!

Ok stay
We truly enjoyed all that Nashville had to offer, from the stores, to the wineries and distillery and the food! Not a long drive into town from the cottage.

Lovely, clean, well-stocked. Great fire pit and hot tub. Close to Nashville. No wi-fi and loft full of stink bugs. Otherwise perfect!
Overall we enjoyed our stay. The property is peaceful and quiet. I only have the rental a 4 because a lot of windows were unlocked & it’s unclear if the door code is changed between rentals. Kitchen was well stocked & beds were comfy. (One soft one firm) If the code isn’t reused, I would come back. Great location for brown co.
about 12 minutes from the Brown County State Park gate. very nice and private with a wonderful hot tub. Every step was very easy. Be warned that a neighbor a few houses to the south flies a lot of racist flags, if that is something that would concern you.
We had a great visit! The house was clean and charming. Seemed like everyday the trees grew more beautiful and the little farm next door had a variety of fun critters to watch from afar! Enjoyed our visit to the T C Steele museum, some hiking, shopping, playing cards, watching movies at night and mostly just enjoying our time together in this cozy house.
The house was okay, definitely some weird vibes. The cable never did work, but the house was cute. I loved the bathtub and hot tub. The swing was not out, which was pretty dissapointing. The location is fine, definitely off the beaten path but 10 mins to the city. Get your groceries and whatever else early, everything closes at 8.
We had lots of bad storms, and an incident where someone was shining a flashlight in our windows. We did contact the host, and they got back to us. The doors are really flimsy, like i could see the lock through the side, definitely not safe
Clean, cute. Just off and did not feel safe.
It was a great place! Hot tub and grill were awesome. It was truly 5 min aways from Nashville. Host were great too! They replied fast and straight to the point. I would stay here again.
Lovely property and location. Beautiful and well maintained. Our main issue was that we are seniors and the bathtub is very high so a bit challenging to get in and out of. Also the bathroom floor is very slick if you happen to step off of the small floor mat with wet feet. Otherwise, no complaints. Overall lovely place!
