About this property

Quaint, renovated cottage in Nashville!

When the Buffalo Nickel owners remodeled the property, they discovered old copies of the Indianapolis Star Newspaper used as insulation. The age of the newspapers prompted further research of the property, and they found that one of the earliest residents was a woman whose father settled in Brown County around the turn of the century. They discovered the woman's most prized possessions were two small nickels her father made upon first settling. The woman shared this story with her local paperboy, showing him the nickels to teach a lesson about hard work. Thus, the name Buffalo Nickel was adopted.

Buffalo Nickel is located on the north end of Nashville, giving visitors a view of downtown from the 300-square-foot deck with an overhanging black locust tree. The cabin comes with a full kitchen, breakfast bar, dining area, and hot tub. In the living room, guests will find a double sleeper sofa. The bathroom comes with a custom shower and access to the deck where guests will find the hot tub. The private bedroom also comes with a queen bed. Additionally, guests can relax in front of the two 32" televisions. Buffalo Nickel accommodates 2–4 people.

ALL EVENTS, DAY GUESTS, AND PARTIES ARE PROHIBITED WITHOUT PRIOR WRITTEN APPROVAL FROM PROPERTY MANAGEMENT.
Effective July 1, 2025 the county has raised the innkeepers tax from 5% to 8%.

Perfect getaway for 2!

We loved the location and amenities of the house. We both wanted and needed the relaxing hot tub after horse back riding and hiking one day and shopping around town the next.

Very nice and clean…location is perfect!

We have stayed many times in Nashville Indiana, others are fine and nice enough but this place was our favorite. The property was clean, the hot tub was clean and perfect for soaking after walking all day, and the location couldn’t be better! We will hopefully get to return to this place.

Great couples retreat

The location and accommodations are perfect for a nice couples getaway to Nashville and the surrounding area. Most everything is in walking distance from the cottage. We even stopped by during our shopping and wine tasting excursions to drop off purchases and headed back out. The cottage itself was well suited for our needs and the hot tub was a great addition! Very nice place!

Exceeded expectations

Every detail in the cottage was awesome. From the precious decor to the perfect cleanliness to the attention to detail on necessities, to the hot tub, we were wowed. The location was ideal, with easy walking to everything but little to no foot traffic at the cottage, and plenty of privacy and quiet. It was the perfect size for the 2 of us, and very comfortable. Great bed and bedding, great AC and heat (yes, we needed both in late April!), and more. Very nice touch to have Sinatra playing on the music player when we arrived, with chocolates, popcorn and water waiting for us. We've already recommended to others and will be back!

We loved the little place. No issues with property at all. Conveniently located. We got there way too early and the host was very gracious! It is a perfect place for two. Small children would be fine, but the sofa bed is not meant for adults. If you are a fan of downtown Nashville, Indiana, it is perfect.

Well-located and maintained property-walk to everything in Nashville!

We stayed at the property in coming in for our daughter's graduation from IU. It is very well maintained in a great location in Nashville. We would stay there again . The only thing that I would note is that it's really best for 2 people. The sofa bed in the living room is not suitable for 2 people unless small children. We had our younger son stay one of the nights.

Cute place!

Cute little place! Perfect for a couples getaway. Very convenient location, right on the edge of town. Comfortable and beautiful all around!! Only complaints; a bit hard to find, I think it's listed wrong on Google maps. And the dishes were dirty, Smudges of grease or something on all the bowls/plates and some pots.
