This home sits on top of a hill in the woods. It is attached to our pole barn and it is barndominium cabin/home. It is about .5 mile off the main road on a gravel road. It is very peaceful and nice and feels like you are camping in the woods. We have a fire pit in the woods and you can access 1 acre of the property. Relax with the whole family at this peaceful place to stay. Each room has a queen bed and we have a queen air mattress. No parties allowed or over 6 people. Central air and heat.

The space
You will drive .5 mile on a gravel road to the house. You turn off of S Mount zion church rd and drive 300 to 400 yards on an easement road past a single wide trailer to get back to our gate and property. The gate has a lock on the chain it is not locked shut. You take the chain out of the slot and unwrap it and open the gate. I can drive it in our minivan with no issues. Drive slow as you start on the gravel road because it has a dip in the road. When you get to the top of the hill you can park right in front of the porch. Plenty of room to park or if you have a trailer you will have plenty of room. Please do not park in front of the second shop door.
The porch has a bench and a rocking chair. The fire pit has 4 chairs around it. When you enter the home you walk into the family dining area that goes into the kitchen. As you go down the hall The second bedroom is on the right and down the hall is the bathroom and laundry room. You have to go through the bathroom to get to the master bedroom in the back. It is like a shotgun style home.
You do have to drive on a gravel road and you do cross over a culvert for a creek and it is very important to stay on the gravel road. Reflectors have been put where the creek is located. You are not driving through a creek just over one on the gravel road. You are in the woods. You might see a turkey, deer, coyote, bobcat etc. with being in the woods you might find a lady bug or a stink bug. The house is very sealed and has been treated but these little guys seem to find a way in no matter what.
During the summer Indiana has all kinds of bugs and you are in the woods so stay out of the tall grass and stay on the gravel path in the woods to the fire pit.
We have marked the property with orange reflector sticks. Please do not go beyond those reflector sticks as you might be wondering on someone’s property. The fire pit is to the north in the woods. Feel free to have a fire and to use any wood on the ground from fallen branches or buy wood at a store in salem. Most gas stations carry wood.
We have provided wood in the past but unfortunately enough wood to last many months has been burnt in one weekend.
Please do not put trash in the fire pit. Next to the front porch we have bricks that go around the water shut off valve. It is not a fire pit and has bricks inside it and an orange flag. Do not use it as a fire pit please.
Enjoy your stay and if you have any questions please ask. We want your stay to be great and feel like you are at home. Thank you.

Guest access
You have access to the entire home. Our pole barn is attached to the home. You do not have access to the pole barn. We have access to the pole barn from a man door on the opposite side and garage doors. We usually are not in the pole barn much as it is used for storage and if we do need to get into it we don’t need access from the home and would be accessing the shop area from 8 am to 8 pm. This is a farm property and we do need to mow and maintain roads etc. We can have heavy rains and if the rain messes up the gravel road we would need access to the pole barn after hours to get tools to fix any issues. Please do not go beyond the orange reflector markers. No more guest than what is on the reservation and No parties. If you have a party or more people than on the reservation you will be asked to leave immediately with no refund or a negative review from you breaking the rules.

Other things to note
We love sharing this home with guests. Remember you do have to drive down an easement road and it has a dip in it at the start. The gate has a chain around it and it has a lock on one chain link but it is not locked shut. You just take the chain out of the slot and unwrap it and open the gate. You can leave the gate open or shut it. Drive up to the house. When you arrive you will walk into the living room that leads into the kitchen. As you walk down the hallway the first bedroom is on the right. Down the hall you walk into the bathroom that leads to the master bedroom in the back of the home. You do have to walk through the bathroom to get to the master bedroom. Please read that again and don’t leave a bad review when we have pictures and described it multiple times. It is the way the home was built. The pictures show the home. Renting this home does not give you access to the entire farm property. It does not give you any rights to hunt on the property. You will need to stay on the gravel road and gravel area at the top by the house. You do not need to drive off the main gravel road and if you do and get stuck it is on you. You need to stay within the orange reflector poles in the yard and woods please. Thank you.
