About this property

Secluded 4 bed 4 bath Cabin with Fire Pit, Hot Tub, and relaxing surroundings!

The Grand Arbor invites you to renew your connection with the healing power of the earth. Escape into the heart of 42 secluded acres of wooded forest. This four bedroom, three and a half bath family vacation log cabin home is the perfect place to rest and enjoy the simple pleasures in life. This property sleeps 16.

The 2900 square foot cabin was constructed in 2004 and is located in south-eastern Indiana, less than one hour west of Cincinnati or one hour east of Indianapolis in the Metamora/Brookville area. Conveniently located only 10 minutes from Brookville State Park and 5 minutes from the quaint historical town of Metamora, this secluded getaway welcomes you and your guests. Some of our recent visitors tell us that that the Grand Arbor feels like mountain chalet due to its spacious interior.

With large glass windows overlooking a mature woods and creek, the Grand Arbor is nestled in a valley with a southern exposure. Surrounding hiking trails and a multitude of fun outdoor activities are bountiful. Due to its picturesque and convenient location, the Grand Arbor truly is an ideal place for weekend getaways, vacations, family reunions, wedding receptions, Bachelor/Bachelorette parties, fishing trips, golf trips and even corporate retreats. There is a game room in the rec room at the ground level which has shuffleboard, poppa shot, and ping pong. This is sure to be a hit with kids and adults alike. The outdoor jacuzzi is popular with guests. This is a great way to relax in the warmth of soothing waters outside and enjoy the natural scenery that surrounds the home. Plenty of acreage to hike and explore the property

Wifi has recently been updated to 100 mbs so there shouldnt be any wifi issues as of summer 2024.

Must be 25 to rent.

Relaxing Getaway

This cabin never disappoints! We are return visitors, and I loved seeing the upgrades to the furniture in the living room and turning the basement into a bedroom and game room. We have a wonderful time relaxing and laughing all weekend. Thank you for keeping this memory alive for us as a family.

Secluded Cabin

Very nice cabin secluded back in the woods. Tons of room inside with lots of bedrooms, large living room and game room. Plenty of area outside for activities. Nice fire pit area and hot tub off the deck. Close enough to Brookville if you need supplies but still feels like you’re miles away from civilization! Recommend!

This was our third year in a row staying at the Grand Arbor. We love the new bathroom on the first floor and all the upgrades they have made over the years. The location couldn't be more beautiful and the cabin is well maintained! Can't wait to come back next year!

Family Christmas/New Years

This was a very nice, peaceful property. My adult kids and their significant others and my in-laws stayed here over the New Year's weekend and loved it. Even though it rained most of the weekend, the kids enjoyed the hot tub. We got to hike around the property and enjoy the peace and quiet. Overall, it was a great stay.

Great Place

Annual family gathering - sons, grandkids, brother, and nephews. The cabin is large and spacious. The beds were comfortable and plenty of bathrooms for everyone to use. The kitchen was very well equipped and fire pit area was used every night till after midnight. The town is fairly close and has everything needed. The lake big and with a nice beach area. Already booking next year.

Very quiet and peaceful

Property was very secluded and quiet. We had a group of 11 adults and there was plenty of room. We had a great time together. The water pressure was a little low but wasn't a deal breaker. We stayed clean and comfortable, AC kept us cool! Owners were very quick to respond to any questions or concerns. Very nice people.

A great secluded spot to relax

There was only five of us so it was plenty big enough with ample beds and bathrooms. The kids were plenty entertained by the game area downstairs and exploring some of the trails outside around the cabin. Hot tub was a fantastic bonus to enjoy outdoors surrounded by all the trees. The one hiccup was very minor and that was just locating the main gate, as it may have been helpful to have a sign or something out by the road. That’s just me being nitpicky though, it is a nice place well away from the main highways.

Property is nice. Owners are shady.

We were charged for a broken toilet seat that was already broken and glued back together when we arrived. We were charged for extra cleaning when there was trash under just about every bed when we got there including a bra. There was trash in the back lot that wasn’t even ours that we cleaned up. They even invented a broken chair. Now maybe the chair exists but if so we didn’t use it. They charged us for dog hair on furniture when we paid a pet fee. they charged us for dirty bed sheets when there’s no washer. Overall the property is pretty nice. Too bad the owners are shady.

Wonderful remote cabin

We are fans of this property. The high points are the large, open spaces, the many bedrooms and beds, and the privacy this property offers. It does show a bit of wear and for those in need of a cable show or internet/cel access you will be disappointed. We bring a projector and a screen to allow us to watch movies as a group. Cel service is best about 20 minutes from the property. Sprint customers do have some service, the rest of us had none at the cabin. Being near Brookville is great and there several neat downs a 20 minute drive away. We will be back, although we're all considering switching to Sprint as have no cel service is freaky to be without !

Great Family Cabin

Our group of 7 really enjoyed our stay at the Grand Arbor. There is something for everyone – game room downstairs, board games upstairs, fire pit, hot tub, volleyball net, a short hiking trail along the beautiful creek. Some corrections to the listing – the game room has a basketball game, shuffleboard, and a ping pong table, not a pool table. One of the upstairs bedrooms has a king bed (not queen) + 1 single. The kitchen is well-equipped, although we would have liked a large pot for cooking corn or pasta. The grill needs a good cleaning. The house was clean, but the screen porch was quite dirty, so we contacted the owner about that and a few other maintenance issues. Someone was there within an hour or so to take care of it. Very responsive! Our GPS took us to the wrong place, so watch the mailbox numbers along the road as you get close. Be sure to open up the guest book when you arrive to take part in the treasure hunt!

The Cabin Was Nice

The cabin was the perfect size and location for our family. It was relatively clean and very well stocked with supplies. We were creeped out by the mice who weren’t shy about scurrying across the top of the fridge or across the countertops. Those sleeping on the top floor had the icky experience of hearing the mice scratch in the walls! The outdoor grill is in disrepair and the hot tub was a tepid 80 degrees. Guests should also be prepared that WiF is very very slow, except for early morning hours. Cell phone service is spotty as well. If you plan to just chill and bring your hiking boots and some board games or a good book then you will enjoy the cabin. The game room was wonderful and a lot of fun! This cabin is great for families and a large group of friends. Don’t forget to get the guest registry book and join in the scavenger hunt! When the grill and hot tub work and the cabin has routine exterminators visit we will definitely return! The host was impossible to reach after we arrived. The information in the cabin book has not been updated since 2005, the contact number Is no longer in service, and one number we called told us that they sold the cabin 8 years ago. That part was very frustrating and confusing.

Great location for groups.

My group stayed here for a nearby event. The interior of the building was great, and accommodated our large group quite well. There were no major issues with the property. The hosts were also extremely helpful and accommodating, going above and beyond for us multiple times leading up to our stay.

Host profile image
I enjoy hiking and the outdoors. Prior to owning a log cabin home, I always enjoyed renting log cabins myself. It's a great way to escape the day to day routine of the city/suburban life. We have three kids in our family and our best memories are of the cabin.

Why they chose this property

The town of Metamora and Brookville are excellent areas to visit - enjoy the cozy towns and the peaceful living.

What makes this property unique

This place is a fantastic getaway location as it is secluded. You won't find other homes or vehicles anywhere near the place. You have complete privacy to enjoy the outdoors with the comforts of home nearby.
