Cozy 1885 log cabin with an AMAZING view! Abe’s Cabin is set atop one of the highest hills in Brown County.

The Property
We offer memorable stays somewhere between home and hotel!
Treetop Retreat is located atop one of the highest hills in Brown County. Our view is one of the best in the Midwest, stretching more than 9 miles across the Brown County hills.
We are just 3 miles north of Nashville, and so close to shopping, dining, the Brown County State Park, and Brown County Music Center.
We host four lodging options on our 11-acre property. We also have a small outdoor wedding venue. Don’t worry, we NEVER host weddings while we have guests staying on our property!
We are located on a dead-end road, very close the Beanblossom Covered Bridge and Beanblossom Overlook. We do have a ring camera that faces our parking lot and check-in box. This is for your safety and the safety of our suites and cabin.

I grew up in Brown County and love sharing information about the area, so please ask if you have questions!

Other Things to Note

Neighbourhood highlights

Sitting atop one of the highest hills in Brown County, overlooking mostly wooded hills. Nestled away from the main road (SR-135) at the beginning of Whippoorwill Lane. The remainder of the lane has a few residential homes down the way. All four of our suites and cabins are located next to each other, and share a parking lot.

Where I went to school: Indiana University
Owner of Treetop Retreat! Writer, hiker, and nature lover. I love making people feel at home. I’m shy in big groups, but love to chat one-on-one. I grew up in Brown County (my parents were OG hippies and moved here to homestead in the 80’s). After graduating from IU, I moved out of state. Now I’m back and feel so grateful to be in the forest-clad hills again! I love sharing hidden Brown County gems, so please ask if you need recommendations.
