Blue Bird Hill Farm ~ Rustic Cedar Tourist Cabin ~Step back into a slower, graceful time in beautiful Brown County, Indiana. Spend your time enjoying the rustic barn style cabin, with a 14’ by 30’ loft, a full front-porch and a large screened in room addition. Enjoy the spacious bathroom with antique claw foot tub for a restful bubble bath, or move to the hot tub on the secluded deck and enjoy the Milky Way unbleached by human lights. This tourist home has all the amenities, including a 36’ TV, with satellite dish on the main level and a foosball table in the loft, a full kitchen, just not the hectic pace. Antiques are featured throughout. In the cool evenings in the fall, a small fire in the Vermont Casting woodstove (maintained by the proprietor) will suffice, but if the temperature drops or rises, a modern furnace and air-conditioner can be had. Local Attractions: You won’t miss the crescendo of evening sounds with our local “peepers” (Small tree frogs) and bullfrogs. The air will be scented with wild honeysuckle, so heavy in the spring it is intoxicating. Blooms, like popcorn will drop from the persimmon trees, our road’s namesake, and in the fall, sweet orange fruit will catapult to the ground. Wild critters, raccoon, possum, deer and occasional fox, coyote and wild turkey venture into the pasture for a drink at the pond. This shared by our two horses Gus and Sugar, who will keep a constant vigil over our guests, but should be left alone. Nature’s light, fireflies make the nights magical.
Our guest barn is in close proximity to Nashville, Indiana, with its hundreds of wonderful and colorful shops and wineries. The beautiful Brown County State Park, the Little Nashville Opry, with its wonderful country artists, T.C. Steele State Historic Site, Apple Works, Salt Creek Golf course, Bill Monroe Park and numerous fine restaurants. (All this within a fifteen to twenty-five minute leisurely, scenic drive.) Drive a little further and you have all the cultural activities associated with Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana, or the architectural wonders to be discovered in Columbus, Indiana. Indianapolis and Louisville are within an hours commute. Extras: Wonder through the back pastures (13 acres) and enjoy the natural beauty of Brown County.
There is a one-week cancellation policy. Should you cancel during that time period you will be charged one night and there may be charges for nights not rebooked.

We are here to make your visit to Brown County special and to encourage you to come back year after year. How do I get there? From Nashville, head East on Hwy 46 to Salt Creek Road (Approximately 2 miles from town) head north. Eleven miles later you will enter and leave the town of Gatesville. Turn right at the T, cross the bridge and make an immediate left onto Sweetwater Trail. One more mile and you will turn right on Mt. Moriah Road. Cross the Crick and then turn right at the top of the hill on Persimmon Ridge Road. You’re almost here. Drive up the gravel road, turning right at the top of the hill and proceed to the end of the county road. (About a quarter mile) You’ll see our sign, Blue Bird Hill Farm Tourist Home and horse barn on your left. You’re here, come on in and stay awhile. Sorry no pets allowed. Sorry no smoking in the house. |
