Nestled deep within the heart of a forest, Velvet Forest log cabin stands as a testament to rustic charm and the tranquil beauty of nature. The cabin’s wrap around deck is adorned with Adirondack chairs, wicker furniture, and a porch swing offering serene views of the dense forest that surrounds it. Enjoy your morning cup of coffee on the deck listening to the calming songs of nature.

Velvet Forest log cabin is situated high on a hill in the middle of five wooded acres offering a secluded vacation get away. There is plenty of flat ground for hiking and discovering the beauty of
Brown County. Watch deer and other wildlife while enjoying a meal at the picnic table/grill area or the separate firepit with ample seating.

The interior walls of this cabin are crafted from the same sturdy logs as the exterior. The rich, warm tones of the timber create a warm, inviting atmosphere, and the rough-hewn edges and knots tell the story of the forest from which they came. The wood vaulted ceiling in the living areas complete this feeling.

Only three steps separate you from the deck and main floor of this cabin. The entrance leads you into the open floor plan of the living room, dining room, and kitchen. The spacious kitchen offers
plenty of counter space with bar seating and everything you would possibly need to prepare an old fashioned country meal. The large wood dining table can easily accommodate your group’s meals or card games. The living room contains a large 50“ smart TV and comfortable seating. The French doors in the living room lead you to the full length, covered back deck where you can relax, listen to the birds sing, and watch the gold finches at the bird feeder.

In the master bedroom you will find a king bed with an armoire containing a 40“ smart TV for your individual programming. The large master bathroom has a two sink vanity, a jetted oversized tub, and a walk-in shower.

The second spacious bedroom has a king bed, delightful bedside antler lamps, dresser and a big walk-in closet. The third bedroom has an extra long twin trundle bed, dresser, and closet. The shared second bathroom has a tub/shower combo.

Velvet Forest is conveniently located to Brown County State Park, Horsemen’s Camp, the town of Story, and just 10 miles from Nashville.

We love the creatures singing at night and in the morning. The back porch brings the experience of this cabin together, which we utilized along with new binoculars to watch birds. It is always fun to explore the little town. We recommend Percy's Perk, with good coffee and the cutest shop owner Percy (the dog). Thank you to Velvet Forest!!

6 Star Review!
Why limit the cabin to a 5 star rating? The cabin was wonderful. It's a steep driveway to this gorgeous oasis, but very manageable (but beware if traveling in the winter). You will not be disappointed!

Perfect place for a perfect getaway. Velvet Forest is tucked away from the hustle and bustle of everything. The back porch was perfect place to sit and listen to the birds sing. If we get the chance we will return to Nashville and this perfect cabin.

We were blown away by Velvet Forest!! What a wonderful place for a girls trip to Brown County. We will definately be back! Everything was so perfect-we felt like home right away - from the bluetooth speaker to the Fiestaware- to the well equiped kitchen and bathrooms. We did not want to go home. And oh - what a setting ... We loved sitting on back porch watching the leaves and listening to the rain. And sitting around your perfect fire ring. 5 stars for certain!!

the earthy notes of Velvet Forest! The builder did a fantastic job tucking this authentic cabin between the huge canopy of trees. The wrap around porch with a 360 view invites you in (I felt like a little kid running back and forth). The large windows brought the outdoor space inside, we watched a mamma doe and her spotted fawn outside the huge windows. From the inside… I kept thinking what an awesome setting this would be in the winter, with snow, fireplace, games, food cooking, wine (AHHH!!). The kitchen was stocked perfectly, the appliances were upgraded, and the entire place was pristine/clean, beds and furnishings were outstanding. We used the charcoal grill (yum) and lit a fire in the firepit and stayed up late story telling (: We ventured out to the state park for hiking and Nashville for shopping and it was great, but honestly I was excited to get back to the property! Warning-- there is a little gnome along the drive, and if you look in his eyes he may cast a spell on you like he did me-- because I fell in love with Velvet Forest.

Velvet Forest is a wonderfully comfortable vacation home in the middle of the big woods. It's homey and spacious with all essential amenities. Wifi and television reception was excellent. The home is set back from the road so almost all sound is forest related. That was a little disconcerting for a city person. Trees can be rather noisey. Get a bird chirping app to help figure out what you're hearing. It was awesome to sit on the back porch during a rain shower & listen to the rain hitting the leaves. The grill & fire pit allow for a great outdoor cookout. The location is isolated enough that the windows can be left uncovered overnight to watch the moon & stars. (Too many horror movies for me so the curtains were closed.)
Nashville is a short drive. It's a super-cute town with an artistic flair. There are a lot of quaint shops & restaurants to choose from. Hard Truth Distillery is a great find with a variety of spirits & food. There is an 'amphitheater' with live music on weekends. Also, Columbus is maybe 30 miles away. What a hidden gem. This small city is a mecca of architecture. Highly recommend this lovely home for a girls weekend or family holiday.
