Rustic recreation room near Nashville!

Now with Wi-Fi! Looking for a place to take heart? That is what the owners did when they built Livin' the Dream. Located on a hilltop with a view of the valley below, this setting confirms the alluring attraction of Brown County. However, should you need to leave this four-bedroom, three-bath custom log cabin, the town of Nashville is just six miles up the road, with Brown County State Park being even closer.

So many amenities and custom features make this a comfortable and fun spot to relax, recharge, and create lasting memories with family and friends. This cabin is loaded with design elements popular on all the DIY shows and constructed by local craftsmen using local materials. The house accommodates up to ten guests with a fully equipped kitchen, a living room with comfortable seating, a fireplace, and a 55" TV. A pool table, air hockey, and foosball table, along with 500+ movies and board games, are all part of the indoor entertainment. All bedrooms have TVs and DVD players. Suppose the beauty alone is not enough to invite you outdoors. In that case, you'll find 150 feet of covered deck, outdoor games, outdoor seating, hiking trails, and wildlife viewing. In addition to the four bedrooms, there is also a sofa sleeper available for use.

This cabin sits atop a hill at the end of an elevated driveway. Although a four-wheel drive isn't needed, please downshift at the bottom of the driveway.

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!

We had a wonderful family weekend getaway! The cabin was cozy and spacious. Nicely secluded and the leaves were beautiful. Plenty of room for young children to run and play and we loved s’mores by the fire pit!

Peaceful

The house was spacious and lots to do. We were unable to drive up the snow and ice covered lane. It was difficult carrying everything up and down the lane. The hot tub kept blowing a breaker so we were unable to use it.

Friends weekend getaway

4 couples had a weekend getaway here! It was so much fun and simply beautiful. The size and layout of the house made things so nice. The downstairs held so many games and puzzles that kept us al busy! We had a wonderful time. The only thing we wish we had was king size beds in each room. We drew names for the rooms since only one had a king size bed. We highly recommend this place and looking forward to next time!

Over-priced, respond is not good. I would not recommend.

Very expensive!!! it is very overpriced with all the fees and there is no firewood around this fall chilly season. the property manager said to bring your own. It is surrounded by woods, so if you like to get away somewhere isolated, it is a good place. The table chair broke down when my wife was sitting, turns out, the leg was glued down. it was waiting to happen. it could lead to a serious injury. my wife is still sore from the fall. told the property manager about it with pictures, but heard nothing from him. if you are going to spend this much money, I would look for another cabin.

Beautiful place, wonderful time!

We visited a few weeks shy of the leaves really turning and can only imagine how beautiful it would be then. The house was very comfortable and clean. The property is beautiful. The outdoor firepit is great. At most, we had 9 people (all 60 and older) one night and we were all quite comfortable.

Beautiful location. Very private. Lots of room to spread out. Spent one day in Nashville browsing in the quaint shops. Went to lake Monroe the other day. We had a great stay and would definitely stay at Livin the Dream again. We never had to communicate with the property manager so hard to rate.

Graduation home base

While the house is 45 minutes from Bloomington, it is an easy and beautiful drive. A great home base for the family for Graduation weekend. The house is exceptionally comfortable. Plenty of space. Comfy beds. Stocked Coffee/tea bar (keurig + auto drip machine). The only regrets are that we didn’t have more time to enjoy the property or charming Nashville, filled with shops, cafes and restaurants.

Off the beaten path

This is a VERY high quality multifamily cabin about 15 minutes from Brown County State Park. Comfortable rooms with all the amenities we could hope for. Plenty of entertainment options on premises, both for adults looking to get some sunshine and kiddos looking to play pool or bury their nose in a screen. The kitchen was well stocked with all of the hardware required to cook anything you wanted. A beautiful location for a weekend getaway. I guarantee we will be looking to return. Three minor points to note about the property: 1. Cell service - good luck. I have an AT&T personal cell and a Verizon work cell, neither could get reliable service at the cabin. Great for avoiding the office, not so good for being accessable in an emergency. 2. Driveway - very narrow and very steep. You don't need a four wheel drive vehicle, but anything with a low profile could have issues going up the driveway. 3. Local grocery - well stocked, but pricey. My family planned to purchase groceries when we arrived and prepare meals in the cabin. With only one grocery nearby (the next closest are either in Bloomington or Columbus) there doesn't appear to be any incentives to have low prices. Do yourself a favor and bring any food you want with you. None of the issues were the fault of the property, but they would have been nice to know in advance. Overall an excellent experience.
