About this property

Artist’s Retreat Cottage
Many a Brown County artist has set up an easel in the beautiful valley where Owl Creek flows past enormous old sycamore, walnut, and hickory trees. This is the serene setting for Artist’s Retreat Cottage, and is believed by some to be the site where artist L. O. Griffiths painted his lovely piece entitled “Owl Creek Farm”. The quaint 1-bedroom cottage offers guests a chance to rest and reflect on the important things in life.
Everything you need is provided…such as linens for bed, bath, and kitchen, soap and shampoo, and even basic pantry staples like flour, sugar, and coffee. You are invited to make yourselves at home and pretend that this is your very own private getaway.

Equipped with high speed wireless Internet and satellite TV, it’s possible to stay connected with the ‘outside world’, but you may just choose to connect to the real outside world by foraging for hickory nuts, walnuts, buckeyes, or wildflowers. Artist’s Retreat Cottage sits on about 25 acres of land that has been in the same family since 1849, and is a beautiful spot just 2 miles from downtown Nashville.

Nicely furnished and well decorated, the cottage incorporates a number of antiques throughout, but guests’ comfort is always a priority, so a queen size memory foam mattress and super soft pillows will draw you into a blissful slumber when night falls.

Comfortable seating in the living room makes a great place for reading or watching the flat-screen TV. A gas fireplace in the reading nook of the kitchen is a cozy place for choosing one of our many books, or chatting with the cook. Enjoy meals at the dining room table.

There are a number of outdoor places to sit and contemplate your good fortune of spending a few special days in Brown County. It might be hard to decide where you want to sit first: on the deck or porch, near the fire pit or in the bubbling hot tub.

All our cabins have a 3 night minimum for Major Holidays. Must be 24 years or older to book.

Come for a visit and discover for yourself why the owners’ families have called Brown County ‘home’ for more than 150 years!

Review of cottage

Beautiful property. Hottub was great. Property listed fold out couch as additional bed. The couch did not fold out into a bed. The kitchen cabinets and towels had a weird smell. Loved the quiet and peaceful atmosphere.

Amazing Little Retreat!

We could not have been happier with this cabin and our experience with the owners! They were so helpful and communicative from the very beginning, and everything about the process was so positive and friendly. The cabin itself was lovely, and perfect for our needs. Will definitely stay here again if our travels ever bring us back to Indiana!

COLD

The evening we checked in the heat did not work properly we were extremely cold. Since the fire place was vented it was colder with it on. Saturday morning we had to go to Walmart in Columbus and buy space heaters so we could continue our weekend getaway

Great Getaway Spot in Nashville, TN

We rented the Artist's Retreat just to getaway for a weekend during the pandemic. Such a nice place. The cottage is cozy and sits on a beautiful piece of land. Fully equipped kitchen made it easy to make our meals. We enjoyed sitting with our coffees in the morning in front of the gas fireplace. The hot tub was also wonderful! Several times, groups of deer would venture into the field behind to graze. We would definitely recommend this for a couple and plan to come back when we can.
