The sunroom is a true highlight, running the entire width of the house with floor-to-ceiling windows that frame stunning views of the hills and hollows. Whether it’s spring, summer, fall, or winter, you’ll feel completely immersed in nature. Watch wildlife meander through the landscape, do some birdwatching, or simply sit back and relax—this room will quickly become your favorite space in the cabin.

Outside, the property offers even more to explore. Down the hill, you’ll find a private pond complete with a beach, where you can enjoy hours of fun with the provided canoe and paddleboat (life jackets included). For those who prefer quieter pursuits, fishing is a peaceful way to enjoy the natural surroundings.

Lovely Country Cabin
This cabin was in a beautiful location and was easy to access- they plowed the drive well after a snowstorm! It was also decorated with a cohesive vision, very country and cute. Very clean! I would recommend this cabin to someone looking to stay outside of Nashville.

Everything You Want
This isolated treasure in the woods of Brown County has everything you could ask for in a stay away from home and then some. The home is a beautiful, open concept timber frame house tucked back in a secluded 23 acre property. The game room had a lot of fun games, including: shuffleboard, billiards, and much more. The hot tub in the cold was absolutely amazing. This is ag great cozy stay for a couple or a family looking to take some time away in the woods.

Lots of fun in Brown County
We loved our stay and everything we needed. The property is clean and was well stocked. The game room and fire pit was definitely the highlight. The only mention I would have is the primary bedroom in the loft area does not have a door. It didn’t bother us but might some others. I would definitely book here again!

We have stayed in many homes over the years. Most of them are very good, but in rare instances do they hit every mark. 8 Does a Dancin’ is a dream property for anyone who appreciates nature, peace and quiet and a home filled with amenities and COMPLETELY equipped. We give it our highest recommendation!

Fun Retreat
This cabin is a really fun and comfortable place to get away, in a beautiful and secluded setting. My spouse and I stayed here for two nights in early August. There were so many ways to have fun that we could have stayed a week and not done them all. The house was beautiful, and filled with thoughtful touches like charging stations, Turkish towels, and snacks. The bedding was very comfortable. Communication was good, and check-in/check-out was easy. We would definitely stay here again.

PERFECT Getaway !!!
This home EXCEEDED all our expectations! We rent 3-4 homes a year and this is now at the top of that list. We loved how private it was and had a great time fishing at the pond. The nightly campfires and hot tubbing were very relaxing. The host Marisa did an outstanding job communicating but yet was not intrusive. We love spending time in Brown County and this is now our go-to spot. We will surely be back!

Our Best Get Away Yet!
This property is amazing. Our family made so many memories during our stay - from the great game room, to days boating and fishing at the private pond. We were able to unwind and enjoy our vacation. The communication with the property manager was the best we have ever had, and it was an amazing perk to be able to have bait and firewood delivered to the cabin. The check out process was a breeze. Over all, this is one of the best cabins we have stayed at, and we can't wait to come back.

8 Does a Dancin' Didn't Disappoint
Stayed at the cabin two nights (06/07 & 06/08) and had a great time. The property was very well maintained and included everything you could need for a great experience (minus food); although the breakfast danishes, s'mores kit, and fresh eggs were a nice touch. Enjoyed the pond, hot tub, game room, and fire pit along with the cabin...and of course, the privacy that the property provides. Would certainly recommend this property to others, and look forward to staying again.
