Rustic Log Cabin next to the Hoosier National Forest in the Ohio River Valley

Looking to get away from the fast paced life? This cozy 2-story, 2 bedroom, 1.5 bath, rustic log cabin, sits on 4 acres tucked against the hills just outside Indiana's Hoosier National Forest in the Ohio River Valley. Relax on the deck or watch the fire dance in the outdoor fire pit. Calm, tranquil, SERENITY!

Our cabin sits right outside the Hoosier National Forest which offers 84 miles of hiking trails with 50 miles of them open to horses. From the cabin you are less than a 10 minute walk from the Mogan Ridge East trail head and a short drive to many others.

If you enjoy fishing and boating, you are 5 minutes from the Derby Boat Ramp giving you easy access to the Ohio River. The most common fish caught are bluegill, redear, bass, and catfish.

There is a small park located in Derby just a few minutes down the road. There are basketball courts, swings, slides, a shelter house, and a beautiful view for the parents while watching the children play.
During your stay at this cabin, you're just a quick walk from Ohio River. Enjoy features like a spa tub. The cabin offers a jetted tub and a kitchen.
  • Air-conditioned cabin with kitchen, washing machine, and 1.5 bathrooms
  • 0.5 mi (0.8 km) from Ohio River and 15.4 mi (24.7 km) from Blue Heron Vineyard & Winery
This cabin offers its guests a spa tub, barbecue grills, and a garden. The front desk is open around the clock.

This Derby cabin is smoke free.

Enjoyed hiking, beautiful cabin
Very nice cabin with well-equipped kitchen. A few other cabins in the vicinity and a convenience store nearby. Other than that, nature. We enjoyed hiking, the hot tub, and the whirlpool bath. There is no WiFi but a collection of DVDs and even VHS, but we didn’t get around to watching any. Lots of games as well.

Artist Getaway
I had an amazing retreat at the Derby Serenity! It was a perfect place for me to enjoy an “Artist Getaway.” I brought a drop cloth, easel and canvas and reconnected with my inner creative self. Not only was it peaceful, but it was immaculate! I’ve never stayed anywhere that was this clean! It was such a relief after several “not so clean” experiences at other rentals. The cabin was well stocked - great cook and table ware. Lots of games and movies. The hot tub was WONDERFUL. I especially liked, that although rural, I didn’t feel completely isolated. Perfect getaway if you want to disconnect from the outside. I’ll definitely refer and revisit! Thank you!

Amazing cabin,Spotless and well equipped
The cabin was cozy and well equipped in beautiful surroundings. Out of many stays in many places this has been our favorite. So much thought has been given to the comfort of the guest. We look forward to staying at this cabin again in the fall and bringing our kids. We will seek out properties from you in the future. Thank you for making our 23rd wedding anniversary special and memorable
