Nestled on four acres of the idyllic, wooded hills of Brown County, just 3.5 miles from Nashville and Bean Blossom, rests Grandma Barnes Cabin. Our charming private hideaway offers all the modern comforts you desire while retaining the rustic ambiance of a traditional Brown County cabin. Renew your spirits surrounded by nature at its finest within the walls of our lovely one-bedroom, one-bath retreat, complete with an inflatable queen mattress that can accommodate up to four guests.

The bright and airy kitchen and dining area provide ample sunlight while you dine, and the spacious screened-in porch provides the perfect space to unwind and watch the wildlife pass by. Delight in a romantic evening on the backyard patio while grilling on the BBQ and enjoying the ambiance of the surrounding woodlands at night. Your furry friend will find this retreat as welcoming as you do, as we gladly accommodate your pet.

Our cozy cabin provides a unique accommodation experience, fusing our original 1949 cabin with an 1859 cabin for a seamless blend of history and modern convenience. Please note that our cabin does have a steep driveway, so we recommend using a front-wheel or four-wheel-drive vehicle. However, with a steady pace up the hill, you will experience a wonder-filled stay at Grandma Barnes Cabin. Make your Brown County experience memorable and book your stay at Grandma Barnes Cabin today.

    Great property. Very secluded and quiet. Close to Nashville, which has a large selection of craft type shops and a great art presence. Brown County State Park is only a few more miles from town which offers beautiful views, very good hiking and mountain biking. The cabin is rustic but quite comfortable. The bed is probably the most comfortable we’ve had at a vacation rental. Would definitely stay again!

    Beautiful cabin, extremely peaceful. Loved hanging out on the covered porch. Close to town which is quaint, peaceful and many shops to explore. Wonderful hiking trails. Next time we're going to try the zip lines!

    The cabin was so much more than expected! We had a very generous host help us check in late late late after hours! The place was clean, comfortable and out in the middle of nowhere, which was exactly what we hoped for

    We had a great weekend! We were looking for a good three day weekend to go hiking and visit the town of Nashville. This cabin was perfect for us, and certainly as advertised. Nice and tucked away with privacy but still close enough to town. We would definitely stay there again.

    My husband and I enjoy history and nature. Our stay here definitely had that and more. We were so happy to stay here that we plan on coming in the summer or fall time! Very clean and comforting. Only thing about it was that there is no wifi and I never had service but I didnt mind very much.

    Enjoyed our cozy weekend in Brown County! Had that old-fashioned cabin vibe with modern amenities (good water pressure, new appliances, comfy bed). Had a lovely stay!

    Cabin was cute and quaint, period original decor. Nice screen porch but disappointing that it was so dirty and tattered looking. Broken wicker chairs and stained cushions. Extended porch was covered in mildew. Lack of maintenance is obvious

    Wife and I wanted to get away for a long weekend to relax and get in some outdoor activity. This was a great location and cabin. It was clean, well-decorated, and cozy. Perfect location near great hiking and excellent gravel and road cycling.

    This cottage was adorable. It had a rustic feel and was extremely clean. The communication was excellent with the owner and they even helped us with questions before our stay. Our only disappointment was that the second bed as an air mattress. We didn't read carefully enough and saw 2 beds. So, don't be like us and read to ensure that you're ok with the second bed being an inflatable. Again, this cabin/cottage was clean, cute and perfect for anyone staying in the Nashville area.
