A truly rare gem. Tucked into the trees, three sides surrounded by wooded ravines, this inviting retreat features a breathtaking treetop deckâperfect for relaxing, unwinding, and soaking in the beauty of nature. Whether you're looking for a magical retreat to hibernate in total comfort or a cozy home base for outdoor experience, this beautifully renovated A-frame cabin offers the perfect escape.
With 2 bedrooms and accommodations for up to 6 guests, the cabin sits on 2 private acres, surrounded on three sides by wooded ravines and directly bordering 2,700 acres of protected DNR landâoffering exceptional privacy, serenity, and endless natural beauty.
Perched 80 feet above Big Walnut Creek, Smith Cabin provides sweeping views and a deep connection to nature. Enjoy quiet mornings on the front porch, gather around the campfire patio in the evening, or relax in the stunning screened-in back deck, suspended in the treetops and even featuring a bed for sleeping outdoors on mild nights.
This warm and welcoming 1,000-sq-ft A-frame is thoughtfully furnished with modern comforts, including:
âą Memory foam beds (including the living room sofa sleeper)
âą Blackout curtains for restful sleep
âą A fully equipped kitchen
âą Strong, free high-speed internet and reliable cell service
The cabin intentionally does not include a TV, encouraging guests to fully unwindâjust bring your own streaming device if you'd like to watch something during your stay.
When you're ready to explore, you'll find state parks, scenic hiking trails, and nearly 100 of Indianaâs historic covered bridges nearbyâincluding one just half a mile down a quiet gravel road.
Important Note About the Upper Level:
The upper level is an open loft space with no door between Bedroom 1 and Bedroom 2. The stairs to the loft are steeper than standard stairs and are navigated like a ladder, though they are safe and easy for most guests. Those who prefer to avoid the stairs can enjoy the comfortable main-level sleeper sofa.
Whether you're staying in to recharge or heading out to explore, Smith Cabin is the perfect place to slow down and reconnect with nature.
While youâll have full use of the cabin, the owners keep a few personal items stored discreetly. Thoughtful signage marks any areas or closets to avoid, ensuring your privacy and a smooth, worry-free stay.
Winter Storm Note: In the event of a forecasted, significant, snow accumulation during your stay, owners will advise and accommodate a no-hassle, last-minute change of dates, as entry and exit on the gravel, county roads, and on the 400 ft. driveway will be nearly impossible.
