ABOUT THIS HOME
Cliff Creek Cabin tourist rental is approved for 10 guests and sits high on a cliff overlooking a meandering creek, rolling countryside and a horse barn with fenced-in pasture. Whether you're sipping morning coffee on one of the 3 decks, casting a line into the lake, or relaxing in the hot tub under the stars, you'll feel worlds away-yet you're just minutes from downtown Nashville and just over an hour to the Indianapolis airport. This 3-story cabin blends rustic charm with thoughtful design. Cathedral ceilings and an adobe-style fireplace lead to an open kitchen featuring granite countertops, a built-in butcher block, and a walk-in pantry. This opens to a dining area and patio doors which flow onto a wraparound deck, featuring a large hot tub and beautiful panoramic views. The Italian style main level bathroom offers a garden tub and is conveniently located near the main level bedroom. Upstairs, 2 generously sized bedrooms provide comfortable retreats, each with warm natural light, sitting areas, and an oversized bathroom with a garden tub and dual-head walk-in shower. Enter the finished walkout basement to find multiple spaces: a family room, game room with pool table, and a lounge area by a Brown County stone fireplace. Doors open to a lower deck, connecting to the upper decks for seamless indoor-outdoor living. One bedroom, a full bath, and a laundry room complete this space. Attached is a two-car garage. This property includes a 4 stall horse barn complete with water, electric and a fenced-in pasture, as well as horse and hiking trails that run throughout the property, including the original stagecoach trail from Chicago to Louisville. Water features include a small wildlife pond, creeks overflowing with geodes, and a spring fed fishing lake. The lake is stocked with varieties of bluegill and bass and has two docks: a large fishing dock and a zip line running dock for lots of summer fun! Offered turnkey, Cliff Creek Cabin is ready to welcome guests.
