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!

PET-FRIENDLY PROPERTY: There is a $75 fee per pet. Moondance Vacation Homes proudly donates a portion to the Brown County Humane Society when you bring your pet and pay your pet fee.

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%.

We are a family of 4 generations who came and went throughout the week. We all felt that it was a great place for a vacation or family retreat. The kitchen was large and fully stocked. Everything was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the seclusion. The host was easy to communicate with and answered our inquiries quickly. We would stay here again.

We stayed here for a “girls weekend”. The cabin was large, plenty of space. The outdoor fire pit area was wonderful. There was a little supply of firewood, which we added to after we bought some more since we used plenty. The rooms all had charging stations which was a nice touch. We had a few questions during our stay (like where were the sheets for the futon) and they were promptly answered. The property, while secluded, was well marked and easy to find.

Family Weekend in Brown County

This house is centrally located and was only 10-15 minutes from Nashville, Hard Truth distillery and Lake Lemon. All the beds slept great and the house was very clean. We really enjoyed the basement with the pool table and all the cool kids toys they had for all age ranges. We had a bonfire and made smores for the kids too. Had such a great time!!
