About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

A Brown County Family Retreat, Luxurious & Private

Surrounded by eleven acres of serene woodlands and tranquil pond, your peaceful paradise awaits. Ground-level entry with keypad check-in makes it easy to unpack and start enjoying everything 4 Paws Getaway has to offer.
You’ll love the open-concept living area with a six-person dining area and kitchen fully equipped with modern stainless steel appliances, A large, marble-topped island centers the space.
The kitchen spills out into an open living room with large windows framing a forest of oak, beech, and maples. Comfortable sofas and chairs (doggie beds, included!) provide the perfect setting for conversation, a good book, or a catnap. Just outside is a deck with a grill and generous space for a barbeque.
Three spacious bedrooms are found on the south side of the home. Two with queen-size beds, flat screen TVs, closet space, and views of the forest. Down the hall, past their shared bathroom and linen closet is the master suite. A king-size bed, reading nook, and huge walk-in closet set it apart, along with an EnSite bathroom with tub, his-and-her sinks, and fantastic lighting!
Downstairs is another large social space – the entertainment room. Enjoy perfect movie nights or game nights with the extra long wraparound sofa, 65” TV, Nintendo, XBox, pool table, card table, and the best board games to choose from. Two French doors open onto the covered patio where you can relax in the hot tub taking in the peaceful environment. Another bathroom with a shower is just a few steps away.
While “staying in” might be tempting, you’ll be just 8 minutes to Brown County State Park, where you can explore 16,000 acres of trails, forests, and lakes. You’re also just 10 minutes to downtown, bursting with galleries, breweries, shops and restaurants.
Where you and your loved ones make your memories is up to you.

Luxury Amenities

Every detail has been considered to ensure you and your guests are over-the-moon during your stay. With new fixtures, new flooring, new paint, stone accents and unique and fun decor throughout, you’ll love every bit of this space.

Each bedroom is private, cozy, yet spacious with large windows that show off the woodlands and little details that make life easier, like USB lamps by each bed for easy charging and Roku TVs.

The six-person hot tub is a true treat, and we make sure comfort is key, with plenty of towels, bathrobes, and even a portable Bluetooth speaker you can use for music.

The remodeled kitchen is fully stocked and offers the most up-to-date amenities to make every meal fun and hassle-free. A deep double sink, new dishwasher, gas range and oven, electric kettle, microwave, and french door refrigerator accompany all the cookware a chef would need, along with a few special touches, like a cappuccino maker and a KitchenAid mixer.

Wi-fi is dependable, there’s plenty of parking, and the home is fitted with a modern washer and dryer. And for those who are bringing their four-legged friends, you’ll love all the thoughtful details that will make your life as a pet owner that much easier, like dog toys, bowls, beds and a place for their stuff, too.

**All pets must be pre-approved. Pet fee is $100 with a 2 dog limit.

Perfect location for our girls’ trip!
** prior to review - dog owners looking for a place to stay - this IS the place for you! ** It was the first time for us moms to be away from our kids after a long summer, and we’ve been looking forward to it for months. The place you stay can impact the whole vibe of the trip and Marisa’s place did not disappoint. The entire home is beautiful, we were exclaiming about the decor from the moment we walked in. It was immaculate and the kitchen was well-stocked with anything we could need (not food, although there was a pile of snacks and homemade salsa waiting for us!). From the mugs to the blankets.every item felt perfectly curated to the home - Marisa has great taste!! The location is about a 15 minute drive to the main area of little Nashville. For some reason, I thought we were in walking distance. But it was worth the ride to have a lovely, clean, and peaceful place to stay at the end of a long day of walking around. Unanimous agreement that we would come back here! My only regret is that I didn’t bring my dog. The home is set up perfectly for dogs! Empty crates,a great yard, dishes, etc.I will definitely bring my dogs next time!!

Family Getaway
We were looking for a nice spacious place to spend a long weekend with our adult children (and spouse/girlfriend) and our baby grandaughter. This home was very nice, it was the perfect size, and everything was pretty much provided for a great weekend getaway. We enjoyed our stay and felt very comfortable there!

Great family getaway!!
Originally from Indiana, my family and i travel back every so often to visit extended family. This time we decided to rent a place instead of staying with family and this was the perfect location! The house was well layed out, clean, spacious, well stocked and so much thought was put into some of the little things that made the say comfortable and relaxing. Make sure to take a trip into Nashville for all the cute local shops and restaurants!!

We really enjoyed this getaway in the woods! Clean and spacious and comfy! We didn't need to buy our own shampoo, TP, etc. which is always nice when staying in a rental home. Nashville, IN was a cute down to visit, and the nearby state park was nice as well. If we are ever in Southern Indiana again, we will try to stay here!

4pawsgetaway was pawfect!
What a beautiful and well-appointed home. Large enough for our family of 5 adults, plus our dog! The expansive kitchen area and gorgeous (and huge!) island was the focal point of our graduation celebration, a time to enjoy each other in a serene setting and get to and from Bloomington very easily. Lights were left on to welcome us, as was a box of baked goods and a dog cookie! Communication was excellent prior to and while arriving, You feel like you’re a million miles away but yet very close to shopping, necessities, restaurants, wineries, etc. I would highly recommend this property and will return for sure for a girls weekend of Brown County shopping and eating!

Eclipses All Others!
To say we were pleased with our stay at this rental during eclipse weekend would not do justice to the effort that Marisa and her team put into making their guests feel welcome and comfortable. It is obvious from the moment you enter the house that you are in the hands of someone who cares about what they do and will go the extra mile to make your visit special. The house is clean, well-appointed, and lives up to its listing description. We brought our two dogs and, even though we are dog lovers, we appreciate a home that doesn’t have an overwhelming look and smell of dogs and this property does not. (Not at all in our opinion). The neighborhood is relatively quiet, and the property is somewhat secluded (mainly at the back of the house). It is very relaxing and peaceful. It is a short drive to the town. The communication from Marisa and Brett was stellar from throughout the entire process. We really couldn’t have written a script for a better rental experience thanks to the care and thoughtfulness of Marisa and Team.

Peaceful, Spacious and Thoughtful
We have stayed in several VRBO rentals over the years and this one tops the list in terms of the managers thoughtfulness. While it doesn’t have huge walk in showers (nor does it claim to), it DOES have plenty of bath towels. It also had PLENTY of toilet paper. It was impeccably appointed as if you were entertaining family. Board games, phone chargers, sound machine by the beds, coffee, even spices in the kitchen. While these may all seem like little things, they can be uncommon when renting a place. We have been in newly built, very impressive and massive homes that don’t even have one bath towel for each of the bathrooms. Not to mention only a partial roll of toilet paper in each of the bathrooms. I feel like the way people do anything is the way they do everything. EVERYTHING here seems like these people care. We look forward to coming back. All this said, they do need to work on the exterior door deadbolt that leads to the hot tub. It has issues. Also the kitchen faucet needs attention, too.

Clean, spacious and great location
My wife and I enjoyed our weekend getaway to the 4Paws property. The location is 15 minutes from shopping, breweries and hiking in the Nashville/Brown County area. We enjoyed the thoughtful decor for the holidays, the hot chocolate station and the spacious/well equipped kitchen for preparing meals. The bedrooms were spacious and the bed was comfortable. The basement was a bonus with the pool table, gaming systems, and access to the back yard hot tub with overhead string lights for a peaceful ambience. The home is very organized and they truly thought of everything to make our stay as enjoyable, convenient and comfortable as possible.

Beautiful house with a few cons
Pros: House is beautifully renovated and furnished. It is a show home, something you see in a magazine. You need nothing but clothes as the home is fully stocked. Cons: 1) Satellite internet. Internet speed test: download speed 0.19 mbps and upload speed 0.10 mbps. Marissa called Viasat to have the system reset and at the modem download speed was 195 mbps. With the number of devices connected to the internet (5 TVs, camera doorbell, 3 outdoor cameras, 2 remote access keyless entry, security system, hvac, gaming system), each device gets about 15 mbps. If you need internet for work, there is a Starbucks about 15 mins in Columbus. 2) The house sits on the first acre of land with the remaining ten acres behind it. The pond sits between the road and the house. Caution advised as vehicles fly down the country road. Appears that there used to be trails through the 10 acres of woods. Unfortunately, with brush growth and down trees, they were unusable.

Best VRBO we’ve ever stayed in!
Everything has been thought of in this rental, and it is stocked for a wonderful, easy vacay! Paper, cleaning, hygiene, electronic charging, gaming, linens, dog supplies, food & spices, kitchen appliances, first aid…you name it, it’s in this rental! And all with fresh, cute, clean decor and beautiful window views from all angles! Beds were super comfortable, games were new and current. High quality, name brand kitchenware, clean drawers, good water pressure, and wonderful little surprises at every turn. Wonderful host, don’t hesitate!
