This home is amazing. It's listed as a two bedroom which it is however there are three floors and the cabin is very large. It's decorated perfectly being its a 200 year old cabin with modern touches that made it just amazing. The host are wonderful and the stay was flawless. The property is amazing to walk around and enjoy fresh air. The wildlife can be found around ever turn including to our surprise someone's barn cat. We enjoyed eagles, hawks, wren, deer and even coyotes. Thxs

Thanks for the kind words, Along with the wild life it's good to know that the black & white cat is still OK. He has been coming around for over 5 years. We do hope you get e chance to come back.

Richard and Marsha have a beautiful place to share. Upon arrival they gave us fresh asparagus grown on the property and they were delicious. The house is so comfortable and stocked with everything you could think of. My husband caught and released some nice bass for the next person. I enjoyed the swing and row boat. Pizza from The Ordinary was awesome. We enjoyed a nice round of golf at Valle Vista and didn't do too bad at the casino and horse racing in Shelbyville. We hope to come back again some day.

About the host

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

We located this original hand hewn log home in southern Indiana and learned that it was built in 1817. it was soon to be destroyed by the owner, as it had become a safety hazard.. To salvage and preserve this important bit of history, we took the home apart log by log and transported it in late 1972 to its present location . After two years of construction it became livable in the fall of 1974. You will find a picture album in the home showing how the home was disassembled, transported and rebuilt at the present location. Although the house has retained the original footprint, the interior has been updated two times since the reconstruction; the latest was completed early this year of 2019. After 45 years of living here, we have decided to open the home for more people to experience just a bit of history in this modern environment.
