About this property

Rustic Log Cabin next to the Hoosier National Forest in the Ohio River Valley

Looking to get away from the fast paced life? This cozy 2-story, 2 bedroom, 1.5 bath, rustic log cabin, sits on 4 acres tucked against the hills just outside Indiana's Hoosier National Forest in the Ohio River Valley. Relax on the deck or watch the fire dance in the outdoor fire pit. Calm, tranquil, SERENITY!

Our cabin sits right outside the Hoosier National Forest which offers 84 miles of hiking trails with 50 miles of them open to horses. From the cabin you are less than a 10 minute walk from the Mogan Ridge East trail head and a short drive to many others.

If you enjoy fishing and boating, you are 5 minutes from the Derby Boat Ramp giving you easy access to the Ohio River. The most common fish caught are bluegill, redear, bass, and catfish.

There is a small park located in Derby just a few minutes down the road. There are basketball courts, swings, slides, a shelter house, and a beautiful view for the parents while watching the children play.

Why they chose this property

My stepfather, Greg Etienne, was very well known in the Southern Indiana community. A logger by day and a coon hunter by night and a friend to everyone. While logging, Greg would come across old barns that had these hand hued logs as their structure. Some of these logs date back to the 1800s. He would carefully dismantle them, transport them, and reconstruct them into the cabins you see around the Derby area today. The popularity of these cabins quickly became a family hobby. Our family built many cabins and two of them can be seen from the front deck of this one. Since then, Greg has passed due to a tumor he developed in his brain. 16 years after we built this cabin and many changes in ownership, my fiancee’ and I had the opportunity to purchase it in November 2017. Needless to say there is a lot of sentimental value and pride that comes with it. We frequently stay, but also rent it out to share the beauty, tranquility, and dreams of my stepfather with everyone that is looking for some rest and relaxation. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
