As the proud owner, I’m excited to share two of my most charming and historic vacation rentals—the 1891 Schoolhouse Inn and Helmsburg Homestead. Whether you’re looking for an authentic log cabin retreat or a cozy, romantic escape, each property offers a special opportunity to experience the magic of Brown County.
I’ve always believed that where you stay shapes how you feel. That’s why I’ve poured my heart into restoring and hosting these special places — each one filled with vintage character, modern comfort, and thoughtful touches designed to help guests feel not just welcome, but truly at home. I founded My Brown County Vacation as more than just a rental agency — it’s a reflection of my love for vintage charm, handcrafted details, and the soul-soothing rhythm of life here in the hills of Southern Indiana. I live locally in Nashville, and I personally manage every aspect of each home. It’s not just my business — it’s my community, my backyard, and my passion.
The vacation rentals are perfectly located near some of Southern Indiana’s best attractions:
You’ll also find endless opportunities to explore local art galleries, boutique shops, and incredible dining spots. Or immerse yourself in nature on scenic backroads, mountain bike trails, and breathtaking hiking paths. My personal favorite? Stone Head Nature Preserve — an absolute must-see!
Each season here brings something truly special — from vibrant fall foliage and peaceful winter snowfall to spring wildflowers and summer sunsets. Whether you’re after outdoor adventure, small-town charm, or a quiet weekend on the porch, Brown County offers the perfect escape.
At the heart of it all is my belief in slowing down and savoring life’s little moments — fresh herbs from the garden, the comfort of a warm fire, or the soft sounds of the forest after a rain and if your staying at Helmsburg Homestead my happy flock of chickens are always nearby, adding their own charm to daily life here.
My mission is simple: to provide you with the cleanest, safest, and most comfortable vacation rental experience in Brown County—so you’ll want to return year after year. I wanted to share the magic of Brown County — the trails, the small-town charm, the stillness, the stories — and to help you experience it all in a space that feels like your own.
By keeping my collection of properties small and curated, I can focus on offering a more personal, hands-on experience for every guest. Whether you’re staying at the historic 1891 Schoolhouse Inn or the cozy Helmsburg Homestead, I’m here to make sure your stay is as memorable and relaxing as possible.
