Artist’s Retreat Cottage
Many a Brown County artist has set up an easel in the beautiful valley where Owl Creek flows past enormous old sycamore, walnut, and hickory trees. This is the serene setting for Artist’s Retreat Cottage, and is believed by some to be the site where artist L. O. Griffiths painted his lovely piece entitled “Owl Creek Farm”. The quaint 1-bedroom cottage offers guests a chance to rest and reflect on the important things in life.
Everything you need is provided…such as linens for bed, bath, and kitchen, soap and shampoo, and even basic pantry staples like flour, sugar, and coffee. You are invited to make yourselves at home and pretend that this is your very own private getaway.
Equipped with high speed wireless Internet and satellite TV, it’s possible to stay connected with the ‘outside world’, but you may just choose to connect to the real outside world by foraging for hickory nuts, walnuts, buckeyes, or wildflowers. Artist’s Retreat Cottage sits on about 25 acres of land that has been in same family since 1849, and is a beautiful spot just 2 miles from downtown Nashville.
Nicely furnished and well decorated, the cottage incorporates a number of antiques throughout, but guests’ comfort is always a priority, so a queen size memory foam mattress and super soft pillows will draw you into a blissful slumber when night falls.
Comfortable seating in the living room makes a great place for reading or watching the flat-screen TV. A gas fireplace in the reading nook of the kitchen is a cozy place for choosing one of our many books, or chatting with the cook. Enjoy meals at the dining table.
There are a number of outdoor places to sit and contemplate your good fortune of spending a few special days in Brown County. It might be hard to decide where you want to sit first: on the deck or porch, near the fire pit or in the bubbling hot tub.
All our cabins have a 3 night minimum for Major Holidays.
Come for a visit and discover for yourself why the owners’ families have called Brown County ‘home’ for more than 150 years!

Overall the stay was great! It was quite frigid in the space upon arriving, and the heater in the living room couldn’t quite keep up with the lounging quarters. Luckily we had the fireplace to keep us warm.
The grounds are beautiful and peaceful, the hot tub was a much welcome and needed luxury. The house is so cozy and quaint! Very close to everything you want to be close to! Can’t wait to stay again 🙂

Our stay was absolutely phenomenal! All of the information was so great. We did come down in the dark and missed the office on check-in so I had to call the after hours number. I did consult Google maps even having read that it wasn’t correct down there to try and find our way around but the after hours help was absolutely perfect. Our cabin was absolutely gorgeous and it was a much needed time away. All of the information you provided allowed us to have an easy and smooth traveling experience with every detail laid out Perfectly! Thank you so much for all you do to allow your clients to have such beautiful stays!

Cute and clean place!! Accommodation is really for 2 people. Others will have to sleep on a blow up mattress as the couch does not pull out and is small. Check in and check out are not convenient at all when you are pressed for time. You have to drive 20 minutes round trip..We were visiting our son at IU and had alot planned so that extra time was an inconvenience....Also note the address on the Airbnb site is not accurate. You will get the actual address when you pick up the key.

We rented the Artist's Retreat just to getaway for a weekend during the pandemic. Such a nice place. The cottage is cozy and sits on a beautiful piece of land. Fully equipped kitchen made it easy to make our meals. We enjoyed sitting with our coffees in the morning in front of the gas fireplace. The hot tub was also wonderful! Several times, groups of deer would venture into the field behind to graze. We would definitely recommend this for a couple and plan to come back when we can.
