About this property

Pet friendly historic home in Downtown Nashville!

A RARE OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE RESIDENCE IN A REAL HISTORIC BUILDING.

The restored historic home dates to 1840. The Stagecoach 1840 served as a tollhouse for stagecoaches traveling on the private toll road north of Jefferson Street in Nashville for many years. The important period features, original brick exteriors, wood floors, and over six sash windows can be found in this pre-Civil War Indiana building, while modern amenities, a full kitchen, and one and a half bathrooms make your stay a comfortable one.

Save on parking. The Stagecoach is a short walk from all the downtown shops, restaurants, and entertainment. It has two bedrooms, with one queen bed and one full bed, one full bath, and one half bath, as well as a full kitchen with a gas stove, a dining room, and a large living room. Our covered front porch allows guests to relax.

Take time to have fun with a soak in the hot tub, enjoy the firepit, or partake in the fun puzzles, games, Wi-Fi, and Hulu! Your furry friends will have plenty of room to run and play in the large yard.

Rural Environment Notice
Our cabins are located in the beautiful woods and countryside of Brown County, Indiana. While we provide routine professional pest control and keep our homes clean and well-maintained, guests may occasionally see seasonal pests such as mice, flies, lady beetles (Asian beetles), or stink bugs — especially in the fall and spring.

These harmless insects are part of life in a rural setting. We do everything possible to minimize their presence and appreciate your understanding as part of the authentic Brown County experience!

There is a $75 fee per pet for our pet-friendly properties. Moondance Vacation Homes proudly donates a portion to the Brown County Humane Society when you bring your pet and pay your pet fee.

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

Great little place close to downtown Nashville

This is a great little property just a few steps from downtown Nashville. Couches are very comfortable (I ended up sleeping on one of them)! It has everything you need and if anything is missing there are plenty of places right down the road. Hot tub was nice…wish it had a little more privacy but it’s downtown so it was still nice

Nice Nashville Getaway

My fiancé and I really loved this location due to having the privacy of a home but being so close to everything in town. The house was stocked well with everything we potentially needed, and we loved the historic charm.The only small downsides were that there was some construction next door that started at 8am each morning. Luckily we are early risers, but it could've been a problem for folks wanting to sleep in and relax. Additionally, as mentioned in previous reviews, the main bed is very hard. We figured our to

Cute place

This historical home was cute. The living & dining room were quite spacious and comfortable. We found it difficult to move around in the home due to sloped, uneven floors and a step down to the area where the bathroom is. Also walking up from the parking area was a bit steep for us. The owners might want to consider getting a power strip with USB ports included for charging devices. It was the first time that we were requested to strip the beds & take out the trash. I would think that would be included in the fees that we paid. I wouldn’t stay here again just because of our mobility issues… we’re older & my husband has many health problems and walking issues.

Girl's Trip 2023

The inside was very nice, but the outside could use some work. The pictures on the website vs. the true outside was very, very different. A lot of overgrown plants, and the fire pit area needed to be cleaned up. The only other note would be to update your check-out list. It states to put dishes in the dishwasher, and there is no dishwasher in the kitchen. Just an FYI. Other than that, we had an amazing time! Thank you!!

Listing not representative

The location to walk into town was great, that’s where it ends. We had ants in the kitchen, the overall cleanliness was lacking. The couch covers need to be bleached out or replaced. I also didn’t appreciate the tick I found crawling on while on it. Don’t think you will have privacy in the hot tub, picture is misleading, you are wide open to neighbors and the motion sensor light always comes on. I wanted to try the charm of this little house, we left a night early. When I reported the issues with cleaning and the ants their response was the would let maintenance know. Not happy-

Nice to be in town

We had a very comfortable stay. It was as described in the listing. The kitchen had everything we needed, but I didn't notice ahead of time that there isn't a dishwasher (my bad). The Keurig seems to have a little hitch in its processing, but we made it work. There were plenty of soft, fluffy towels, and we appreciated the towels and robes for the hot tub. We loved sitting on the front porch in the afternoons. Given how we watched cars drive back and forth looking for a parking space to open up we realized what a huge advantage it is to be in walking distance to everything in town! It was very nice to have a covered parking spot as well. We used just the one bed in the larger room and the mattress was a little hard for us. The linens were comfortable and it was nice that there were several types of pillows available to choose from. I can give only three stars for cleanliness. It really needs a deep clean. The sofa covers are soiled, the baseboards and doors need cleaning, and all the cracks and crevices in the bathrooms could use a good scrubbing. We enjoyed our time in the Stagecoach Inn and our dogs were excited by the antics of the many grey squirrels!

This an older home that has been remodeled on inside. Being older home you also have the musty smell. There were no screens so we couldn’t open the windows. Uncomfortable beds, trip hazard from bedroom to bath. Does have nice stocked kitchen and we enjoyed the front porch. No Closets to hang clothes. No washer/ dryer. A lot of dampness in the house.Being 2 Seniors we will probably will not stay here again. It is a prime location, 2 blocks from downtown .

The positives: the house was in a great location!the owner was very responsive and great to rent from. He tried to accommodate all of our needs and he gets a 10/10The mattress was very comfyThe negatives:Kitchen was FULL of ants, a few ants in the bathroom as wellI didn’t expect the house to be as old as it was or to smell as old as it did. Parts were updated decently and other parts were just not great… the pictures looked way nicer than it did in person The front door works with a key code however the battery to the door didn’t have a cover over it and was barely hanging in thereThe front porch furniture was so nasty, I would have never sat on itThere was a big hair wad in the bathroom floor and hairs in the shower, which made it look like it wasn’t cleaned as good as I prefer No washer, dryer or dishwasherOverall… I would not rent this house again. Although I will say, my baby got very sick while we were there… and since taking care of my baby was my biggest concern, I didn’t relay any of this to the manager until we were leaving and my baby started feeling better

Excellent location, not as pictured.

Property was run down with overgrown weeds and no cute landscaping as pictured in posting. Overgrown bushes blocked the side drive entrance to porch. Upon entering, overwhelming musty, mold smell that never subsided. Trip hazard from bedroom to shower room. Extremely small shower, which needs to be recalked, and shower head descaled. Quaint front porch but lacked any tables for beverages. Great location, comfortable beds and spacious living room. The front porch swing was the highlight of the house.
