About this cabin rental

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!

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
