Serenity in the Woods: Your Private Escape in Brown County, Indiana

Been dreaming of escaping to the wilderness of Brown County? 8 Does A Dancin’ is your perfect retreat. Tucked away on 23 private acres, this woodland haven will surround you with nature’s beauty—just keep an eye out for the grazing deer as you head up the lane to the cabin. Once you step inside, the cozy, welcoming atmosphere of this charming retreat will make you feel right at home.

With its nature-themed décor and plush furniture, relaxation comes easy. The living room, anchored by a stunning Brown County stone fireplace that stretches up to the vaulted ceiling, is perfect for movie nights or warming up by the fire. The couch even pulls out into a queen sleeper for extra guests.

Upstairs in the loft, you’ll find a spacious en suite bedroom with a king bed, private balcony, and full bath—your own personal escape with a view. Downstairs, the second bedroom offers a peaceful queen bed, and the adjacent bath includes a tub for soaking after a day of adventure.
And then, there’s the sunroom. Stretching across the width of the house with floor-to-ceiling windows, this space immerses you in the surrounding hills, no matter the season. It’s the perfect spot to unwind, watch wildlife, or simply soak in the beauty of Brown County without leaving your chair.

Outdoors, the fun continues. Head to the private pond for canoeing, paddle boating, or fishing. The garage has been converted into a game room, complete with pool and other game tables, perfect for rainy days or evening entertainment.
Whether you're lounging on the spacious back deck, roasting marshmallows around the firepit, or unwinding in the hot tub after a day of exploring nearby attractions, 8 Does A Dancin' has something for everyone. Bring your family, friends, and even your dog (with approval), and create lasting memories at this secluded getaway.

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!

A terrific property
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.

This was our second stay at the cabin. Everything is exactly as listed, with a perfect mix of quiet solitude and on property activities. The kitchen had everything we needed for meals, the game room was a blast, and the sunroom was great for relaxing. We had a fantastic week.

We loved everything about this cabin. It was perfectly cleaned and perfectly stocked. We only need to bring ourselves and our food for the week. The coffee bar is an extra plus along with the bakery treats, dog treats and Hershey's kisses. The peace and quiet was exactly what we were looking for. We will be back.

Beautiful Cabin & Nature Lover’s Dream
What a great place to welcome a fresh, new year! As we drove up the secluded drive, we immediately relaxed. The cabin is so warm and inviting. Everything you need for a relaxing, cozy stay. We loved the thoughtful New Years’ cookies and sparkling cider. Our dog absolutely loved the cozy dog bed and found the dog toys immediately. Such a thoughtful touch to have raised dog food and water bowls. And also dog treats! Loved the bird feeder (and bird seed) and suet feeder. We drove into town on a grocery run and stopped at Bear Hardware for some suet cakes. The next day, we were rewarded with several visits from pileated woodpeckers! Thank you for sharing this beautiful place!
