About this property

Beautiful, 200 year old Log home - Secluded, 30 Min. from Downtown

1800 sq. ft. home with central heat & cooling. It is newly renovated as of 2019. It sits on 9 acres with complete privacy.
You may wander the property, fish from a half acre pond, or sit on one of two balconies, relaxing amid sounds of nature. Birds and waterfowl are a feature of this property. If you enjoy camping, feel free to pitch a tent. Enjoy the home for a couple of days or an entire month.
The main floor has a separate living and dining area, each with a large view; a wrap around balcony can be accessed from here. On this level is also the newly remodeled kitchen, stocked with cooking supplies and staples. A new RUKU TV is on this level as well.
There is also a guest half-bath off the kitchen.
The second floor has two private bedrooms and a full bathroom. One bedroom has an antique bed with washstand and vanity. The other bedroom has a vintage four poster with matching dresser and vanity. Each bedroom has at least one closet.
On the lowest level is a daylight basement with a recliner couch and a sleeper sofa. There is a half-bath, utility room, game table, foosball, and a second TV with DVD player in this area. There is a door that can be closed to the rest of the house, so it can be used as a third bedroom. This area opens onto a small patio with the pond only steps away.

This home is amazing. It's listed as a two bedroom which it is however there are three floors and the cabin is very large. It's decorated perfectly being its a 200 year old cabin with modern touches that made it just amazing. The host are wonderful and the stay was flawless. The property is amazing to walk around and enjoy fresh air. The wildlife can be found around ever turn including to our surprise someone's barn cat. We enjoyed eagles, hawks, wren, deer and even coyotes. Thxs

Thanks for the kind words, Along with the wild life it's good to know that the black & white cat is still OK. He has been coming around for over 5 years. We do hope you get e chance to come back.

Richard and Marsha have a beautiful place to share. Upon arrival they gave us fresh asparagus grown on the property and they were delicious. The house is so comfortable and stocked with everything you could think of. My husband caught and released some nice bass for the next person. I enjoyed the swing and row boat. Pizza from The Ordinary was awesome. We enjoyed a nice round of golf at Valle Vista and didn't do too bad at the casino and horse racing in Shelbyville. We hope to come back again some day.

Magical! Exactly what I needed and wanted. I can’t believe how close to Indy this is but yet in the country. The hosts did an amazing job restoring this 200 year old farmhouse, but yet it has all of today’s modern requirements. Great kitchen and propane gas grill for meals. The pond was a delight to watch the birds and the turtles! Wonderful grounds to walk especially with the spring flowers. Very quiet to listen to the birds and read on the deck. It was chilly one night so the gas fireplace was perfect. I had a couple of questions and Richard was so quick to respond. Even a Kroger just a few minutes away if you forgot something. And the added touch of spring flowers in a vase and chocolates in a bowl showed the attention to detail for their guests. I want to come back in every season!
