Derby Serenity

Looking to get away from the fast paced life? This cozy 2-story, 2 bedroom, 1.5 bath, rustic log cabin, sits on 4 acres tucked against the hills just outside Indiana's Hoosier National Forest in the Ohio River Valley. Kick back on the decks, relax in our hot tub, or watch the fire dance in the outdoor fire pit. Calm, tranquil, SERENITY! The space The main area of the cabin is constructed from original hand hued logs that are over 100 years old. An addition was added to the rear of the cabin to add modern amenities like a kitchen, indoor restrooms, and a guest bedroom. As you would assume, the floors squeak and the floor plan is very open. All part of the cabin charm. The air condition keeps you cool in the summer, the furnace keeps you warm in the winter, and the hot tub allows you to relax at all times. Guest access Guests will have full access to the cabin and its 4 acres. Other things to note The History of Our Cabin My stepfather, Greg Etienne, was very well known in the Southern Indiana community. A logger by day and a coon hunter by night and a friend to everyone. While logging, Greg would come across old barns that had these hand hued logs as their structure. Some of these logs date back to the 1800s. He would carefully dismantle them, transport them, and reconstruct them into the cabins you see around the Derby area today. The popularity of these cabins quickly became a family hobby. Our family built many cabins and two of them can be seen from the front deck of this one. Since then, Greg has passed due to a tumor he developed in his brain. 16 years after we built this cabin and many changes in ownership, my fiancee’ and I had the opportunity to purchase it in November 2017. Needless to say there is a lot of sentimental value and pride that comes with it. We frequently stay, but also rent it out to share the beauty, tranquility, and dreams of my stepfather with everyone that is looking for some rest and relaxation. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
