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.

We had a great weekend! We were looking for a good three day weekend to go hiking and visit the town of Nashville. This cabin was perfect for us, and certainly as advertised. Nice and tucked away with privacy but still close enough to town. We would definitely stay there again.

We enjoyed our stay at the cabin. It was peaceful and secluded but close to Nashville. The cabin had everything we could want except wifi. We loved how the cabin was decorated and especially the fox, it took us 2 days to find it on the beams. We hope to stay again!

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.

Super cute little cabin, really enjoyed the screened in porch. Very quiet and got to see mama and baby deer in the evening. 2 air conditioners and ceiling fans kept us cool. Perfect cabin for a lovely, old fashioned Christmas.
