Cute Cottage
Cute cottage with comfy beds and a well stocked coffee station. The hostess left birthday and anniversary cookies for us, as we were celebrating both! The natural surroundings were incredible!

Weekend Retreat
It was exactly what my friends and I needed, a beautiful place to relax after a day of sightseeing and shopping. The beds were comfortable, the decor adorable, the outdoor seating quaint and so relaxing with an amazing view and you really couldn’t ask for better hosts. Everything you could possibly need was supplied. We were surprised by custom cookies that were delicious! And woke up to the most delicious and moist muffins!! I’m really hoping to get that recipe haha!! Thank you for being such a wonderful host! We loved it and my friends keep thanking me for finding your place.

Beautiful Guest House
The space was welcoming and clean. Our host was very responsive and she left us homemade muffins for our morning treat. The outdoor space is relaxing and beautiful, perfect for morning coffee, or reading. Conveniently located.

About the host

Hosted by Melissa Courter

Host profile image
We moved our family to Indiana recently after spending 30 years in Northern NJ. In my former life I was a professional flutist and ran a custom cookie business. Now I am a Kindergarten teacher at my son's school.

Our move to the midwest is a welcome change from the hustle and bustle of the greater NYC area. We enjoy hosting because we can share with our guests the serene view that we are blessed with every day. We have met some wonderful people from all over the world and look forward to meeting more in the years to come.

Why they chose this property

We love this neighborhood because it allows us to experience the natural beauty of Southern Indiana yet it is just minutes away from all of the conveniences of the city.

What makes this property unique

The newly renovated guest house is completely separate from the main house. It has its own private entrance and parking. It also has an outside patio area and fire pit.
