This listing is really for a couple. For the third person advertised sleeps on a leather couch. King bed is great. The bathroom is very small and the water pressure is low in the shower. The stairs are steep going up to the bedroom and bath. Could be hard for an older person. This is an original cabin that was moved from Brown Co. Great location to convenience. The owner, Kimberly , was very nice and accommodating.

We could not have asked for a better experience! Communication with the host was excellent. The cabin had everything we needed and was so cozy for our winter weekend getaway. We’ve already talked about making it a yearly tradition and hope we get to go back next year!

In Town Country

Great place to stay. Love the history of the cabin being first constructed in 1860 and then moved to the new site where it now stands. Decor matches perfectly. I will check for availability here first when staying in Indy.
