Here Are A Few Kind Words from Our Past Guests:

"Wow! What an amazing place to stay. It was cozy, safe, and so comfortable. I felt right at home. The location is perfect for all the downtown activities: shopping, eating out, and not far from the Salt Creek Trail. Kara goes above and beyond to make sure your stay is all you are looking for with a scavenger hunt around town, ideas for things to do in the area, and tried-and-true restaurant/coffee shop suggestions." –Michelle

"Perfect location for visiting Brown County State Park, and Kara's place is right in the middle of everything in the cool little town of Nashville - totally walkable. Her place is a perfect home base with a well-laid-out kitchen, comfortable bed, and spacious walk-in shower." –Laura

"We enjoyed our time at the Barn Burner. Very easy to find. With it being only 1/2 block from the main strip of businesses, it was very convenient to go out sightseeing. Everything was perfect in 1-North. We stayed in this room because it is an ADA room. Great place to stay for those who have mobility issues." –Jerry

“The perfect place to stay for a weekend in downtown Nashville! Kara's instructions and descriptions were accurate and thoughtful, and the place was extremely clean & cozy!! Would definitely return for another stay!” --Evan

Guests have private access to 1-North, its patio, and all included amenities. Note that this unit does not have direct access to the rooftop patio unless combined with another unit: 2-South reaches the rooftop by its private interior stairway, and 3-East and 3-West have walk-out rooftop access.

One free parking spot is available on-site, and additional free street parking is available nearby.

Check-in is contactless with key-coded door locks. Your unique door code, along with detailed check-in instructions, parking information, and check-out guidelines, will be sent 1-2 days before your arrival.

☆☆ PARKING & GETTING AROUND ☆☆

Each unit has one dedicated parking spot behind the building, accessible via Honeysuckle Lane (a one-way street running south to Washington Street). Additional free street parking and public lots are available nearby.

Rideshare services like Uber and Lyft are very limited or unavailable in the area, so plan to drive or walk as you explore Nashville. Most shops and restaurants are within walking distance, but if you're venturing beyond town, having your own vehicle is recommended.

☆☆ LOCATION ☆☆

The Brown County Barn Burner sits in a quiet yet convenient corner of Nashville, Indiana, at the intersection of Jefferson and Washington Streets. You’re just a few easily walkable blocks from the heart of town, where you’ll find locally owned shops, art galleries, restaurants, coffee spots, and more.

Less than ¼ mile away, the Salt Creek Trail provides a scenic, paved path (¾ mile) leading to the Brown County Music Center, Brown County YMCA, IGA grocery store, and additional restaurants and shops in Salt Creek Plaza.

Prefer to drive? You’ll be less than a 5-minute drive from the Brown County State Park or a slightly further - but still easy - drive to Yellowwood State Forest, Lake Monroe, and the nearby cities of Bloomington and Columbus.
