About this cottage rental

Berry Branch Cottages are a one of a kind vacation destination. This is a place that the whole family can come and spend time together and have their own sleeping accommodations. The three cottages are older and made of Indiana limestone but have all of the modern amenities of home.

Have you seen the movie Dirty Dancing and the Camp they visit in the Catskills? You will be reminded of that from the moment you see the Berry Branch Cottages sign, to the long driveway across the dam overlooking the 11-acre lake or passing the water fall, to the drive up to one of the THREE cottages.

You will love this setting. At each of the 3 cottages, there is a park-style charcoal grill (you provide the charcoal), a fish cleaning table, a fire pit and a view of nature. At the lake there is a small boat for each cottage. (Doesn’t matter which one you use as there are 3 cottages and 3 boats.)

You DO need to bring your OWN linens, towels, pillows, blankets for these units (like camping).

Lakeside Cottage, the newest remodeled cottage is a 1BR, 1BA cottage overlooking the lake. You will find a queen bed and 2 rollaway single beds. A full kitchen with all the dishes needed to supply a family meal. If you have that specialty item you like to use in the kitchen, you might want to bring it with you. There is a dining room and a living room for those family memories. This unit has a wood burning fireplace.

Old Timer’s Cottage (the first cottage ever erected on the property) has the most history. It too is a 1BR, 1 BA with 2 single rollaways and had the same amenities at the Lakeside Cottage. There is no fireplace at this cottage.

Meadow View Cottage is nested beside the nice meadow of wild flowers and where you might just see some extra wildlife, depending on the day. Deer love to forage there and enjoy the sunshine. This is our 2BR, 1BA with 2 rollaways all of the same amenities as the other cottages. This unit has a wood burning fireplace.

Lakeside Cottage holds 4 people, Old Timer’s Cottage holds 4 people and Meadow View Cottage holds 6 people so a total of 14 people can stay here at one time.

This is a great place for larger families to come and catch up from their busy lives. This little camp has been in existence since 1958 when Jack and Thelma Crider decided to share their peace of Heaven with others. Today their grandson Clayton Beard and his wife Kayla live onsite in the old homestead. They ran this camp for a few years on their own but with their growing family, they have decided to turn over the Management to Hills O’ Brown Vacation Rentals. SO, whether you have been coming for 50 years, and yes some have been, or whether you will be a first time guests, Clayton and Kayla hope that this can be the place that you will come and visit for many years to come.

    We were lucky enough to view the total solar eclipse here. Before and after the event, our family enjoyed fishing, going out on the boat, exploring the creek and lakeshore, roasting marshmallows, and relaxing. The cabin was clean and cozy.

    My spouse and I enjoyed our quiet 2 night stay! The other two cabins on the property are closed for the winter so we pretty much had the property to ourselves as we walked around and explored. There was a light dusting of snow from the days before, but it was easy to drive up the hill to the cabin (for our Subaru Forester at least). We were told that there would be plenty of firewood for a fire, and there was but the selection of dry wood was limited since the wood piles had not been covered and thus were wet from the snow accumulation. There was a good selection downer tree branches across from the cabin though, so we were able to gather enough branches for kindling and had a nice fire both nights. When we arrived the first night, the property owner came and told us that previous guest complained of cold temps the night before. So Clayton informed us to keep the flap on the heater up, to make sure the heat would continuously blow. We set the temp to 65 and stayed sufficiently warm, even when the fire went out. Bring warm blankets if you stay in the winter, and you’ll be fine! The cabin had everything we needed - it was clean, secluded, and had a beautiful view to watch the moon rise over the lake, at night. We even saw a bald eagle fly over, in the afternoon. We’re looking forward to coming back in the summer months!

    This cabin was great - the property is beautiful and the Amenities provided are all one needs for a nice weekend getaway from the city. However, the cleaning done prior to our arrival missed a crucial element - one of the fold out beds sheets had what appeared to be a sizeable urine stain. Please check the fold out beds, too!

    Very quiet and secluded. Lake is in decent shape for swimming. Did not see hardly any fish activity.

    The cabin was very well-kept, and the lake was a perfect spot to float on a hot day! Make sure to bring your own chairs to sit outside. 4/5 stars because there was a large group (20+ people) at one of the cabins for the day which over-crowded the dock. Fortunately we brought floaties and were able to take the boat out to the middle of the lake to have our own space. Definitely would come back for a stay!

    We really enjoyed our get away at the Lakeside Vacation Cabin. It was very quiet and secluded, nestled away in the rolling hills of Jackson County, Indiana. The view of Berry Branch Lake was a welcome sight, especially at daybreak and sunset. We didn't use the rowboat that was made available, as we had no life jackets (didn't inquire if they were available though). The cabin has been remodeled fairly recently, as it seemed very up to date. It was evident that everything had been thoroughly cleaned and sanitized, even though we added our own once over just to be safe. The weather couldn't have been nicer. A fire in the firepit made for a memorable evening overlooking the lake. Our cottage stay was a perfect break from our "cabin fever" back home.

    This little bungalow was the perfect escape for my wife and I to get away from the kids for her birthday evening. Lovely little swimming hole and a clean cozy cottage with a campfire to create a perfect summertime memory.
