The Property

Treetop Retreat is located atop one of the highest hills in Brown County. Our view is one of the best in the Midwest, stretching more than 9 miles across the Brown County hills. We are a cross between traditional cabin rentals and a boutique hotel, and offer the best of both worlds, with privacy, a stunning view, indoor spa tubs and seasonal gas fireplaces. We are just 3 miles north of Nashville, and so close to shopping, dining, the Brown County State Park, and Brown County Music Center. 

We host four lodging options on our 11-acre property. We also have a small outdoor wedding venue. Don’t worry, we NEVER host weddings while we have guests staying on our property!

We are located on a dead-end road, very close the Beanblossom Covered Bridge and Beanblossom Overlook.
