About this property

Peaceful Wayside Cottage in the country 5 miles north of Nashville, IN!

The Wayside Cottage is a charming Cape Cod-style vacation home on five acres. Relaxing is easier than ever with an expansive backyard, a large covered porch, and a wraparound deck. On one level, you'll find the living room, kitchen, dining room, two bedrooms (both with queen-size beds), and one full bathroom. In addition, two twin beds, plenty of play space (toys and games included!), and a gate at the top of the stairs make the loft an excellent place for kids. It takes just 10 minutes to get to the Wayside Cottage from Nashville. It's easy to get here, there, and everywhere. Less than five minutes away are Bill Monroe Music Park and Brown County Dragway; the entertainment options are endless. Want to enjoy a day on the lake? Lake Lemon is less than 10 miles away, so bring your boat over; there is plenty of room to park it at the cottage in the circular drive. While the Wayside Cottage may not have internet, the cell coverage is excellent!

Lovely property and location. Beautiful and well maintained. Our main issue was that we are seniors and the bathtub is very high so a bit challenging to get in and out of. Also the bathroom floor is very slick if you happen to step off of the small floor mat with wet feet. Otherwise, no complaints. Overall lovely place!

Thank you for your feedback Vincent! Many of our properties do do not have washers and dryers due to the septic being unable to handle guests doing laundry in such a large capacity. We absolutely would offer this if it were sustainable! We appreciate your feedback, as we are always looking to improve! We hope to have you back next time you visit!
