About this lodge

We invite you to enjoy our charming Brown County lodge sprinkled with a bit of midcentury modern vibes! Perfect for a small family vacation or weekend getaway with friends, this comfortable lodge provides the perfect spot to rest and rejuvenate.

The lodge is a short drive to:

3 min - Brown County State Park (North Gate Entrance)
7 min - Brown County Music Center

***The property neighbors local businesses, you may see/hear utility trucks from time to time***

Located right off State Road 46, between Columbus and Bloomington, you'll be just a short drive from all the attractions Brown County has to offer. The ideal amount of guests would be 6 people but I can certainly fit 8 if two are willing to sleep on couches. Don't worry about parking either - ample free parking spaces are available in front of the lodge - perfect for larger groups.

COMMON AREA:
The open floor plan of my lodge is ideal for entertainment or cozying up for family time. The barstools are perfect for a morning cup of coffee, giving you the chance to start your day with a gorgeous view out of the french doors onto the backyard and beyond. On cooler evenings, relax in front of the gas fireplace and enjoy being surrounded by warmth and comfort. I also offer a dedicated work space in this area so that you can do all your remote work with ease thanks to having an ample number of convenient sources for power, USB ports and high speed WiFi. After working, take some time to explore the selection of books scattered throughout the lodge.

BATHROOM:
The lodge has two full bathrooms. One in the master bedroom and another in the living room. A baby bather is available for infants.

The kitchen is fully equipped with everything one needs to prepare meals, You will have a coffee maker for that needed afternoon cup of joe, and a blender for those morning breakfast smoothies. The kitchen also supplies children's utensils and booster seat.

Our family had a great time. The open floor plan made it easy to see and communicate. The kitchen had everything we needed. The kids loved the swing set and the adults enjoyed the hot tub and fire pit. It was not that far to restaurants and the downtown area. We will definitely stay again!!
10 / 10Outstanding·Apr 2026
Everything was amazing I went grocery shopping for our stay and there was everything there that I needed to be able to cook food for my family. We used the grill outside and probably utilized every part of the lodge! Kids had amazing time playing with the games inside and outside that were available for us. We enjoyed roasting marshmallows and making s'mores over the fire pit out back! Overall we really enjoyed our stay! I really love that there is absolutely everything that I could possibly need are ready there even all the way down to some of the little girly products I might have needed in the bathroom! Thank you so much!

The host was good to deal with. The cabin was great. The amenities outside were good, but the view, out back, left a little to be desired.
10 / 10Outstanding·Nov 2025
Communication with host was excellent. Upon arrival my girls and I were a little puzzled. Property is nestled back off a busy street. Stepping inside was different. Not only is this property, cozy, but it was extremely impeccably clean. The kitchen has everything you need Keurig pods baggies I mean everything!My Besties and I were able to walk to the Gnaw Mart and get firewood and we had a wonderful evening with firewood, friends, and fun. This is a yearly ritual and we will be staying here again. If I could add a picture, I would.
