Wooded & Fabulous Brown County Cabin

The woods surround this cabin in Nashville on three sides so you will surely feel like you are in the middle of the woods.

Although, the cabin is easy to get to.

Why don’t you start your trip from a walk in the Brown County State Park and checking all the art galleries and wineries in Nashville?

After lunch, go canoeing on the lake and get some fish for your family dinner.

While your significant other is cooking fresh catch on a gas grill outside, you can stare into the woods looking for fireflies which can be numerous here.

Oh yes, and they have sliding glass doors in the cabin!
