Come and enjoy a getaway from the busy world to a quiet home in the woods. You can enjoy the large gathering room overlooking a beautiful pond that is surrounded by trees. Take a ride on the paddle boat and throw your fishing line in to catch catfish, bluegill, and wide mouth bass. Eleven acres of trails make for a nice nature walk. In the cold , you can enjoy your cup of coffee by the fireplace that's in the large room we call, The sanctuary. In the hot summers you will be able to go swimming in the pond. If you enjoy kayaking, we have a kayak you can take out and experience a relaxing time on the water. This is not just a vacation home but it is a vacation destination. This is a getaway for any seasons. The Brown County fall season is something everyone should experience and this the perfect property to take it all in.

Amazing home in an amazing location

This was the second time that my group of girlfriends stayed here for a girls’ weekend. The house is on a beautiful piece of land and has a perfect set up for a gathering of friends. The homeowners are amazing - very responsive and helpful. We’re already planning to come back next year.

For our family get away we throughly enjoyed this property. The home was clean, beds very comfortable, kitchen well stocked, 2 living spaces, a large kitchen for all to gather in and a large space outside to play. The kids had fun on the paddle boards and kayak. We had some rainy weather. When it was nice out we played outside on the property and went to Brown County State Park to hike. When it rained we played games inside. Kids loved the bunkbed room!

Great Stay

Stayed March 2023. Property just as advertised, super clean, and lots of much appreciated technology for a remote area (Direct TV satellite + more, great wifi). Felt recently updated/renovated/addition. Very large - could easily accommodate a large 5-7 person family or 2-3 couples, though we enjoyed the extra space just for the 2 of us and our dog! Would highly recommend and stay again.

Amazing, Relaxing Weekend

Four friends and I decided that we needed a girls weekend and this home was the perfect place for it. With a ton of bedrooms and seating options at both the table and in the living room, we were able to hang out in comfort the whole weekend. The house was immaculate and the kitchen was well stocked allowing us to cook dinner and breakfast. We decided that this would become an annual tradition and we look forward to coming back again next year.

Relaxing Friend Time

We r a group of 4 couples who recently stayed in the aptly named “Sanctuary “ for a 3day, 3 night yearly get-together. The property is very beautiful & relaxing with the pond & sweeping back yard providing excellent views from the 2 porches. The home was very accommodating, well stocked and clean. 4 bedrooms & 4 bathrooms. Super easy checkin and out, seating for all 8 of us whatever room or area we were in. Large kitchen for cooking. The owners were extremely responsive. This was the perfect property for us to rent!

Awesome Weekend Getaway

Having an awesome time is an understatement. I cannot explain in words of how magnificent this property is. From fishing, kayaking, paddleboats, wrap around porch with lots of chairs, grilling, and a beautiful pond. The views are breathtaking. This was our first stay here, and it most certainly wont be our last. If you're in need of an awesome time, along with a weekend getaway, "The Sanctuary " is where it's at! The owner's are awesome as well. We didn’t get to meet them, but I felt like we did just through the VRBO messenger. Again thank you all so much for everything.

IU Graduation

House is totally clean and spacious and secluded if you’re looking for peace and quiet. Gorgeous porch to relax on and large family room for group gatherings. Comfortable furniture and beds.We were in town for IU graduation in Bloomington and this was a little bit of a hike for that, but that’s on us for not thinking that distance through.

Wonderful Retreat

Our family of 8 gathered from San Diego, Atlanta, and Cincinnati to celebrate parents 70th anniversary. The home is spacious with 4 private bedrooms and baths (even the bunk room was comfortable). Check in was easy and the home was clean, kitchen stocked with essentials and more, living and dining areas easily accommodated us. The location is convenient to tours of Columbus architecture, downtown Nashville and to both entrances of Brown County State Park as well as a rural drag strip with local color. We enjoyed the fire pit and a meandering one mile hike through the 14 acre woods. Runners will appreciate low traffic roads and rolling hills with shady tree lined sections. I'd like to return with our kids and grandkids.

Truly a Sanctuary

The home and property were beautiful and peaceful. The layout of the house was perfect for 6 adults. Plenty of space for everyone. Clean, comfortable, well stocked and maintained. Location is just 10 minutes to town but still tucked away. The covered porch was perfect with a great view of the lake and property. We all loved it and would definitely go back.

Family Gathering 2024

The property is so beautiful and we all loved the house. There were 9 of us staying there and the house is very spacious with areas for toddler play time, card games, dining, a very nice kitchen and beautiful living room that has gorgeous views of the pond and woods. The boys had a great time fishing too. They caught blue gill, catfiish and we think a crappie. We all had a wonderful time.
