Nice little cabin. It is quaint and cozy. There unfortunately was only 1/8 roll of TP and after an 11.5hr drive we needed to go buy more. Thermostat read 53 when we arrived but it didn't take long to warm up. We made sure to set it to 65 as requested upon leaving. The provisions and pond view made the price fair.

Response From: Hills O' Brown Vacation Rentals

We are glad you enjoyed your stay, and just a FYI TP is on our list of what to bring, but there should have been a full roll, and for that we apologize.

All in all it was wonderful. Went down for parents weekend at IU and it was a complete rainout. So we got to spend time with the kids at the cabin. It was wonderful.

Stephen’s creek Cabin
Our stay at Stephen’s Creek cabin was lovely! It’s a beautiful quaint little cabin and was perfect for us being in the area to visit our daughter at IU ❤️ It was very clean, nicely maintained and the decor was fantastic! Very cozy 🙂 The only “inconvenience” was the check-in and check-out process of having to drive all the way to the main office to get the keys, drive back the other way to get to the cabin, and then having to drop the keys back at the main office at check-out. Other than that, It was great and would def recommend!

We recently stayed at Stephen’s Creek cabin. Everything was exactly as advertised. Very secluded and romantic setting. I can’t think of anything we needed that wasn’t provided as described in the original listing. Beyond that we had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend it to anyone.

Absolutely beautiful cabin. Location is awesome, halfway between Bloomington and Nashville, so easy 15 minute drive to both, but still felt isolated and comfortable. Lots of things to do on the property, from volleyball to fishing to cornhole, to just relaxing inside the cabin. Nothing but good things to say about the space.
However, the communication was far too much. The messages were crazy long, there were separate instructions via AirBnb and in the cabin itself so you had to read both, and neither was short. Lots of threats about leaving the place spotless otherwise you'd be charged extra, which is ridiculous when you're charged a cleaning fee, and on top of that the housekeeper actually left an envelope asking for a tip. AirBnB as a whole needs to get the cleaning situation figured out, and the instructions for this specific unit need edited down drastically. Finally, it's crazy that you have to stop by the office to get the key. Industry standard is leaving keys at the unit.

Response From: Hills O' Brown Vacation Rentals

Thank you for staying and we are glad you enjoyed the cabin. We are sorry you thought what we send to you through your Airbnb portal was too much, but we do try to cover everything that seem to elude many of our Airbnb guests. And we also put that information in the cabins for the guests that didn't see what we sent to them in their Airbnb portal. Too much information really is better than not enough. We will mention to the owner that it may be time for a way to allow direct check in for that cabin. Thank you and we look forward to seeing you again.

We had a cozy weekend in Stephen’s Creek cabin and would recommend it. This is a perfect space for couples or small families. There is a bedroom on first floor with a queen bed as well as a King bed in the loft- note, the only way to get to the loft is a wooden ladder, so not a good fit for those with mobility issues, unless staying on the first floor bedroom. Bathroom is spacious and water was hot in the shower. We would have loved to use the hot tub, but it was too cold for us outside (-17 wind chills), we hope to return during warmer temps to to use the outdoor activities (volleyball, pond, fire pit, horseshoes, etc).

This was a perfect getaway! The cabin was clean and cozy! The cabin was located just outside of brown county so we were not far from all the shops and restaurants. We loved it and are looking forward to staying again in the near future.

This place was fantastic. Fishing wasn't good but we had a great time. Not far from town but in a great country sitting. The dog loved the property a lot. Saw wild life and picked a bowl of blackberries. If the property ever came up for sale sure would like to have a shot at buying it. The manager was nice and helpful, we never had any problems with anything. Would gladly stay here again and we probably will. I don't think anyone would be disappointed staying here.

Cabin was spot on for us. Everything we needed. The location could not have been better. Close to Bloomington and Nashville, plus all the parks. Hills O Brown management got us there, made a Sunday check in go easy. We would recommend this place to anyone.

This cabin was perfect for our needs- closer to Bloomington than Nashville so perfect for IU graduation weekend. The view while sitting on the back deck drinking coffee was just gorgeous as we listened to the bull frogs croaking.
