About this property

Unique Barn-Style Cottage | Pond, Fire Pit & Near Nashville 2BR, 1BA

Poplar Cove - a unique chance to stay in a Barn style cottage.

In Bartholomew County, yet minutes away from beautiful Brown County, Indiana you will find this one of a kind find. You are close to all the bigger city amenities, yet in a tranquil country setting.

Just off of Highway 46 is a private drive shared only by the Owners of the property who may or may not be home. You will pass their home in this shared drive but then your vacation home awaits you on farther back on the property. Ever wondered what it would be like to stay in the new "barn style" homes. Now is your chance.

This pole barn has been totally redone and now half of it has been totally remodeled into this 2 BR 1BA get away.

All on main level, you enter into the foyer and you will immediately notice all the unique features of this home starting with a stained glass pass though window inside. Once entered, there is a full bath (large shower only with one step to get in) and then a very quaint and unique living room. The pictures will say it all.

In the living room is an electric fireplace, 43" smart TV with a You-tube subscription (You can use your own programming) and a very unusual wall hanging ( I will let you look at photos or see when you arrive). Just off the living room is a bunk room with bunk beds (single/single).
also off the living room is a fully equipped full kitchen. Off the kitchen is the master bedroom with a queen bed and a 36" Roku Television.

Just off of the kitchen is an all season room where you can look at the back at all that nature has to provide. Most likely will see some deer, turkey or rabbits. Heating and cooling is provided in this room of windows.

If you are adventurous, you can walk out past the firepit to the pergola at the pond. No fishing but great for resting your mind.

Let Poplar Cove be your next getaway where you go go left to Columbus and all the things a small city offers or to the right to quaint Nashville, Indiana.

Close to Brown County State Park for the horseback riding, fishing, swimming, and hiking.

A wonderful place to take the kids or, a cozy, romantic cabin for a couple, filled with all the amenities to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable.

We used this VRBO simply as a place to sleep as my parents have downsized and no longer have space for the whole family. That said, it was nice and cozy. Clean, cute and comfortable for the nights! Would be an awesome place in the summer, so we may be back.

Horrible gasoline smell but a beautiful place

We were so excited for our fall weekend in Brown County. However upon entering this cabin we were hit with an obnoxiously potent gasoline smell. Within 20 mins I had a raging headache and my husband, who works in a factory and is used to all kinds of horrible smells, was also complaining. We figured out the smell was coming through the ac vents from the attached garage where the property owner keeps his mowers. The rental management company was prompt to answer my concerns and sent over help, but the smell never got better. We eventually had to turn off the ac and just open the windows. Thankfully it was cool enough in the evening that we didn’t need the ac. On the plus side the property was very well designed and clean! My son loved the swing set. However, the property can be very difficult to find in the dark. If we do come back to Brown County we won’t be choosing to stay at this property again.
