1859 Historic Log Cabin, pet friendly and 5 minutes to Nashville!

Nestled on four acres of the idyllic, wooded hills of Brown County, just 3-1/2 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, while 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.

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.

Secluded and peaceful
We had a fabulous time at the Grandma Barnes cabin. The location is very private while still being just a short drive to town. One of our favorite Nashville cabins we’ve stayed in so far. Highly recommend!

Quiet weekend
We had a peaceful couple of days. We did like the property. It was exactly as described. It was out of the way and secluded but close to everything we wanted to do. The only issue we had was with no central air and only 2 window air conditioners it was quite warm in the cabin. It was almost 90 degrees the days we stayed so definitely a factor. Overall this is a great little place to stay.

Perfect getaway
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.

Great Weekend Retreat
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!

The cabin was rustic yet modern, so cozy! Close to Nashville with an isolated country feel. We didn’t spend a lot of our time outside(December)- but our Lab loved exploring the property! Magical laying in bed at night listening to total silence…….

Wonderful Rustic Getaway
We loved this cabin so much! It was so cozy. It had everything we needed for a long weekend. The location was exactly what we had hoped for. It was secluded, but still only a ten minute drive from downtown Nashville. The host was wonderful about answering our questions and getting back with us quickly when we reached out to him. Thank you making us feel right at home!
