Breakfast, “homemade”, was included but unfortunately my mom and I had to be at my son’s wedding venue before 9:00 which is when breakfast was served! Property was definitely “pet friendly” as we ran into our “friendly doggy neighbors” which was an added bonus!! Property Owner “Jim” was very nice & helpful and made us feel at home!! We will definitely be going back!!

Jim and his wife were very warm and hospitable. The room was beautiful and seasonly decorated. We had an amazing view from our room. As someone who is vegan, they were very accommodating to my diet with breakfast and also wished my husband a Happy Birthday.

This is a B&B not an Inn. An old house conversion in the woods which was a great location. I prefer being able to control the temperature in my space due to heat sensitivity. Breakfast is served only at 9 AM. We woke up early and needed to leave at 8:30 a.m. We got coffee, but nothing to eat. I would’ve been happy with some toast, boiled eggs, and yogurt. The breakfast time was nonnegotiable. I guess I need a little more flexibility and control of my time and space.

Super comfortable country B&B with really friendly owner/host and great homemade hot breakfast. Room was good sized, and very comfortable bed. Just :15 outside cute town of Nashville with lots of shops & restaurants, and :10 from the huge Brown County State Park with several hiking trails.

You will get a very Indiana experience sleeping here. Wake up with a rooster and great coffee. The bathroom was small and the pillow was hard, but we slept well.
