It was amazing!

This property and experience exceeded our expectations! The entire process was seamless and the Helmsburg cabin was perfect! We were celebrating my daughters upcoming wedding and the location allowed us close access to quaint restaurants, Nashville shopping, Hard Truth and quiet evenings by the fire out. I would highly recommend this cabin!

Adorable property!

We stayed here with a family group for 3 days. The house has wonderful outdoor spaces on a porch, a lower patio and the back yard with a covered porch and fire pit. While the house was small, the outdoor spaces gave us plenty of room to spread out and be together! The location is right on a very busy road, so you have to be ok with the road noise. But the house was very well equipped and maintained. Highly recommended!

This rental was everything we hoped for and more, perfectly matching the listing description. Ideal for a friends or a fun family getaway,. The house was impeccably clean—honestly, the cleanest rental I’ve ever stayed in! Thoughtful touches like plush spa towels, extra blankets, and pillows added so much comfort. The outdoor space was a highlight, with a fantastic bonfire area, corn hole boards, and a well-maintained gas grill. The hot tub was pristine and relaxing, perfect for unwinding. Our host, Ericka, was incredibly responsive, answering all my questions promptly. This property is an absolute gem—you can’t go wrong booking here! Highly recommend!

As four 70 year old women who have known each other over 55 years, we LOVED the porch swings by the shed. In just 42 hours, we laughed, cried, cooked and ate together, while catching up on our lives. Childhood diabetic grandson, Down syndrome granddaughter, developmentally handicapped adult son and physically handicapped husband. So heart-warming to have the support of dear, dear life-long friends. Thank you for the clean and beautiful accommodations. We all needed this get-away!

Lovely outdoor area

The cabin was in a great location for proximity to Nashville and brown county state park. The cabin was very nice. The backyard with fire pit and cornhole was very fun. Our issues were that the kitchen had no place for storage of food we brought and the pans and cooking utensils weren’t great for the number of guests. These were minor inconveniences and not a reason we would not revisit. Also we had to call the host for a tech issue and she responded very quickly.

Why they chose this property


Being true Brown County natives, we carry in our hearts the inherent charm and beauty that define this special place. Our intimate knowledge of the area allows us to present a property that not only offers breathtaking views but also encapsulates the tranquility of the countryside. And here's the magic—while reveling in the peace of rural landscapes, you're just moments away from the vibrant energy and excitement of Nashville.

This property serves as a gateway to the best of both worlds. Imagine waking up to panoramic views that stretch across the countryside, a symphony of nature as your soundtrack. Yet, with super easy access, you can seamlessly transition to the lively atmosphere of Nashville, where fun and activities await. It's not just a stay; it's an immersion into the dual essence of Brown County—serenity and excitement, all in one extraordinary package. Welcome to the perfect blend of peaceful retreat and convenient adventure!

What makes this property unique

Step into the enchanting embrace of history at our historic gem, a time-traveling haven from the year 1906. In the heart of Brown County, where few properties have been salvaged from such a bygone era, our oasis stands as a testament to preservation and countryside charm, away from the hustle and bustle of town life. What makes it even more unique is the meticulous remodeling we undertook in 2019, starting from the bare essentials of a dirt floor and exterior walls.

The challenge? Restoring this vintage beauty while seamlessly blending old-world charm with the comforts of the modern age. Yet, we believe the result will capture your heart. Our love for this property runs deep—we've invested not just in its restoration but in creating an extraordinary outdoor space. Picture yourself under the stars, surrounded by the warmth of a fire pit or the bubbling hot tub.

As you explore, don't miss the subtle details—the front of the house often graced by the presence of an eagle perched on a tree branch, keeping a keen eye on a hidden pond across the road. This home, a labor of love and dedication, holds a special place in our hearts. It's not just a rental; it's an invitation to share in the magic of a place where history, nature, and modern comfort converge. And did we mention, it's one of the rare rentals in the area that can comfortably accommodate up to 10 people? Come, let our favorite be yours too, and create memories with your friends and family that will last a lifetime.
