My Brown County Vacation - Nashville, Indiana

09/08/2026

Recess isn’t just for kids.

There’s something about getting away that gives us permission to slow down, stay up late by the fire, soak in the hot tub, sleep in, and forget the schedule for a little while.

The 1891 Schoolhouse Inn was originally built as a one-room country school and today has been lovingly restored into a one-of-a-kind Brown County getaway, with two queen bedrooms, a private hot tub, fire pit, and plenty of room for a little grown-up recess.

Just 15 minutes from downtown Nashville, Indiana, yet tucked away in the hills where it feels like a true escape.

Stay in Class at the 1891 Schoolhouse Inn.

Stay close. Stay local. Stay with us.

Happy Fourth of July from our little corner of Brown County! Whether you're at the schoolhouse or out at the homestead, I hope today's full of good company, good food, and a little quiet in between the fireworks.

JUNE IN BROWN COUNTY STARTS HERE

Where you stay shapes everything about a trip — the pace of your mornings, how far you are from the things worth doing, whether you feel like a tourist or like you actually belong somewhere.

I've been hosting guests in Brown County for eight years. Two properties, intentionally only two, because every single guest gets my full attention — not a form email, not a property manager, me.

The 1891 Schoolhouse Inn will make you feel like you've stepped into a different century. Tucked in the woods, original school bell, wavy glass windows, hardwood floors throughout. Sleeps 2–4. Pet friendly.

Helmsburg Homestead, moved log by log from Brown County State Park, is 2,200 square feet of boho chic on 5 private acres. The cabin is one mile from downtown Nashville with a swim spa, seasonal garden and free-range chickens.

Summer weekends are going. Check what's available at the link below — or send me a message and I'll get back to you personally.

Big weekend coming up in Brown County, Indiana — and I wanted to make sure you knew about all of it.

The 22nd Annual Indiana Wine Fair takes over The Story Inn on May 30, noon to 6pm. Sample local Indiana vintners, browse arts and crafts vendors, and enjoy live music all day long. The House Sparrows open, followed by Robert Rolfe Feddersen, with the Rich Hardesty Band headlining.

Sunday, the Nashville Indiana Farmers Market opens for its 10th season. Every Sunday through October, 11am–2pm, in the Brown County Inn parking lot at 51 State Road 46. Local farmers, fresh food, ethically raised meats and eggs, handmade goods. Dog-friendly.

And if you've never climbed the fire tower at Brown County State Park — Trail 10 leads you to W**d Patch Hill Fire Tower, the highest point in the park. Built in the 1930s and still climbable. Park entrance fee applies.

Both properties — the 1891 Schoolhouse Inn and Helmsburg Homestead — are available this weekend and put you right in the middle of all of it.

Something I've been working on is finally live — and I'm really proud of it.

The My Brown County Vacation website has a fresh new look, and it's the best way to explore both properties, check availability, and book direct (no platform fees, just me on the other end).

Two stays. Two very different experiences.

🍁 The 1891 Schoolhouse Inn — a restored historic schoolhouse filled with character, warmth, and the kind of details that make a weekend feel special.

🍁 Helmsburg Homestead — a cozy log cabin tucked into the trees, just minutes from Nashville with that perfect slow-down feeling.

Spring weekends are filling up. Take a look and see which one is calling your name.

There’s a moment here I always notice.

Just as the light fades, the cabin begins to glow. The trees settle, the air cools, and everything feels a little quieter.

That’s what a stay at Helmsburg Homestead feels like.

Tucked just outside Nashville, Indiana—close to everything, but it doesn’t feel like it. A place to slow down, settle in, and stay a little longer than planned.

If you’ve been thinking about getting away, this might be your sign.
