Your Brown County Concierge

Thoughtfully hosted by someone who actually lives here.

I’m Leah Lamm — the owner of My Brown County Vacation, Airbnb Superhost, and Vrbo Premier Host. I’ve been personally hosting guests at the 1891 Schoolhouse Inn and Helmsburg Homestead for eight years, without a property manager or management company involved at any stage.

Brown County has more than 16,000 acres of state forest, 20-plus miles of award-winning mountain bike trails, an active arts colony of over 150 working artists, four wineries, and two craft distilleries. I’ve been helping guests navigate all of it since 2017 — which trails are worth the early alarm, which wineries pour on weekday afternoons, and when to come if you want the fall color without the crowds.

Helmsburg Homestead sits one mile from downtown Nashville. The 1891 Schoolhouse Inn is fifteen minutes out — tucked in the woods on a hill, reached by a scenic country road. Both are close enough to everything, private enough to feel like a true escape. Featured in Indianapolis Monthly, Columbus Monthly (Great Escapes), The Herald-Times, and Stroll magazine.
