A Hidden Gem Even Locals Can’t Believe Exists

Whether you're looking for a magical retreat to hibernate in total comfort—or a cozy home base for outdoor adventure—this completely renovated A-frame cabin is exactly what you need. With 2 bedrooms and space to sleep 6 guests, it’s nestled on 2 private wooded acres, directly bordering 2,700 acres of protected DNR land.

Perched 80 feet above and overlooking Big Walnut Creek, Smith Cabin offers peace, seclusion, and a deep connection to nature. Enjoy quiet mornings on the front porch, evenings around the campfire patio, or restful afternoons in the stunning screened-in back deck—suspended in the treetops and complete with a bed for sleeping on milder nights.

Inside, the 1000 sq. foot A-frame is warm, welcoming, and thoughtfully furnished with all modern comforts, including memory foam beds (sleeper sofa, too), blackout curtains for restful sleep, and a well-equipped kitchen.

IMPORTANT upper level note: The upper level is all one space with no door between BR1 and BR2. Also, the steps to the upper level are somewhat steep, but EASY and SAFE to use when navigated like a ladder. However, some prefer/need to sleep on the main level, on the comfy sofa sleeper, to eliminate navigating the steep steps.

Stay connected with strong, free, high-speed internet and reliable cell signal. (Bring your own streaming device—the cabin doesn’t have a TV, by design.)

When you're ready to explore, enjoy easy access to local state parks, scenic walking and hiking trails, and nearly 100 of Indiana’s historic covered bridges—including one just half a mile down a quiet gravel road.

Whether you're staying in or heading out, Smith Cabin is your perfect escape.
