Cozy Secluded Cabin

What a wonderful place to stay. The cabin is very comfortable with tons of items that make it special. The coffee bar was great and so was the hot tub. We loved this place and will surely be back.

Rustic modern perfection

We were impressed with the whole place. We had a fire in the out door pit or inside fireplaces. The kitchen has everything you'd need including the coffee bar. We lazed about, enjoying the tranquility.

Everything about the cabin and property was even better than described. Very clean. Beautifully decorated. Incredibly well stocked like being at home. Beds and bedding are very soft amd comfortable. So private and quiet. Plenty of firewood prvided to have a fire the whole 3 days we stayed. Five star experience for sure.

Great cabin!

We had a wonderful trip to this lovely cabin for my husbands birthday. Melonie is an amazing host! The cabin is equipped with anything and everything you could need. Fresh flowers were placed all over the home. The bathroom was awesome with a jacuzzi tub and beautiful shower. We are already looking forward to our next trip to this cabin.

Everything we wanted and more!

This property is a dream and Melanie is such an AMAZING hostess! We arrived to a very clean cabin, beautifully decorated, and with fresh flowers adorning the table and entry. She hung a “Happy Birthday” sign and balloons for my husband and also left us a little welcome gift. We thoroughly enjoyed all the many amenities and serenity of the property. Fresh ground coffee in the morning was a nice treat! Melanie also communicated very well throughout our stay and made sure we were happy and had everything we needed. We will definitely be returning in the future!

Definitely a slice of paradise!

First and foremost, we need to thank Melanie for opening up her amazing cabin paradise getaway for us to enjoy. It has to be one of the nicest, cleanest and most peaceful places we’ve ever had the pleasure of staying at.. The cabin is absolutely stunning on the inside with a modern twist to it. We enjoyed the amazing craftsmanship that went into the construction and all the great paintings and art work. Melanie was a wonderful host, who really went that extra mile for making us feel welcome. What we loved the most about our time here was just sitting on the front porch and relaxing to the amazing sounds of nature. It was exactly what we needed, time to get away from the stresses of life. Thank you Melanie for such a wonderful weekend and for making our anniversary a special one. We’ll definitely be back soon!

Wonderful place to get away

We were trying to get away for a quiet few days, but with a nice range of activities. The cabin is isolated, but within 15-20 minutes of Nashville. It was a beautiful blend of rustic look and modern amenities with an engaging artistic touch. The kitchen is well supplied with tableware and utensils. The living room and upstairs nood are comfortable for reading (with a good sized and eclectic range of books). The bedrooms are also comfortable and one features a small balcony. The front and back porches were great spots for reading or watching the wildlife. We went into Nashville a couple of times to enjoy shopping at a wonderful independent bookstore and eating at a couple of memorable restaurants. We also ate outside of Bean Blossum at two local restaurants. The week we were there there was a series of chamber concerts each evening, so we hiked in the morning and enjoyed a concert by world-class musicians in the evening! Melanie was an attentive host who provided a number of guides for finding local spots to visit. This is a great get-away spot where you can do as much as you want — stay in the cabin and get away from it all or travel around to visit local attractions.

I Wish We Could Have Stayed Longer

My wife and I were both off work for a week and had originally planned to stay home and work on some projects around our house, when at the last minute we changed our plans and decided we needed to go somewhere for a quiet get away for a few days. We weren't very hopeful that we would be able to find a nice place to stay that was also both secluded and affordable, in such a short timeframe. When we found the online listing for Cabin Porch Paradise, it seemed too good to be true. But I have say that it was by far the best cabin we have ever rented. The cabin was beautifully furnished, with little extra's at every turn that I would have never thought of if I had been the owner. There was just such an ambiance and warmth about the place that we felt like we had found a new home, even though we were just there for 3 days. We had great communications with the host from the time we booked our stay until after we left and were headed for home. Our only regret about our stay is that we hadn't booked a whole week. Of course if we had stayed that long, we probably would have never wanted to leave. Cabin Porch Paradise is definitely a place we want to stay at again in the future.

Amazing communication

Power was out from the storm and she reached out days early to make us aware. Communication daily as to power and day of we ended up having to stay elsewhere which was out of her control. Her forthcoming nature allowed us to be prepared for a change. We will hopefully stay there if we visit Indiana again

Truly Paradise

We never left, nor did we want to leave! Everything is absolutely beautiful . The entire cabin and grounds had so many elements of excellent craftsmanship, hospitality, and many details. My husband and I came to celebrate our 30th Anniversary; it was the perfect place. We plan to return! Melanie was an excellent hostess.

Fantastic Place

From the moment you drive up to the house you can begin to see the heart and soul of its owner and caretakers. It is well supplied with everything you need, beautifully and thoughtfully landscaped, and the swings on the porches and grilling area were perfectly placed for relaxing and enjoying the space. Secluded, quiet, and peaceful. The love and TLC the host has put in to this is obvious. It’s in every little detail. We certainly hope to be back again soon.

Anniversary Getaway

We felt like we were in a fairy tale at Melanie’s whimsical home! It was perfection for my indoorsy husband and outdoorsy me. Such wonderful moments I spent just soaking in nature. We saw a family of raccoons shortly upon arriving, gorgeous deer each time we ventured out the lane, and the flowers were so fragrant and beautiful. We went to Bloomington and ate at Nick’s, which my husband, a IU Hoosiers fan, enjoyed. We went into Nashville and visited the quaint shops, and another night we went to Janko’s for a steak dinner and wine in a casual dining setting, and it was delicious. Then we returned to the cabin and to the twinkle lights and sounds of nature. The coffee and tea bar were second to none, and Melanie tucked in surprised of fresh flowers throughout the cabin, as well as displays of beautiful art. We also visited the gravesites of some of my husband’s relatives, and if you are a cemetery enthusiast, this part of the state has gorgeous ones. We are already discussing when we can return. Melanie thinks of everything and makes all visitors feel special and welcome.

Luxury and Nature

The property is private and serene, with bountiful wildlife. The cabin is exceptional, down to the condiments in the fridge to a swing bed on the screened in porch. Unusual things about the cabin was the communications with the owner, super helpful and detailed, a very complete coffee and tea bar, and the every area was very well stocked with every thing you need for a comfortable stay. Plan to go again in another season to take in the view from the ridge.

Slice of Serenity

Incredible experience. Found this place randomly online making travel plans. We stayed for a long weekend and this was an absolute gem, even better than we expected based on the listing. A pristine house with lovingly maintained landscaping and interiors on top of a hill, with lake views (early spring) and cozy outdoor lighting at night. A million little porches and spots to get and drink coffee or wine together and forget the world. The place was immaculately clean and had everything we would’ve wanted stocked. Melanie, the host, was kind and communicative when I reached out but otherwise totally respected our privacy. The only reservation I had on booking was whether the other nearby structure visible in the photos was an inhabited house, but it’s just a barn/ storage building. If I ever have reason to come this way again, this would be the first place I’d book. Already a little nostalgic for it.
