Brown County State Park is just east of Bloomington in Southern Indiana.
Located in the park it offers breakfast, lunch and dinner and on Sundays, brunch.
Quaint little country motel with mini fridge, and cable in each room. Pets allowed, super friendly. Coffee served every morning!
Located in the park, and named after the fictional cartoon character Abe Martin, who moved to Brown County during his national syndication in newspapers across the country, and became a landmark character representing the area, by Kin Hubbard. Built in 1932 of native stone and oak, the park is full of classic lodge goodness - big lobbies, fireplaces and a nice dining room. With rooms in the main lodge and cabins as well (named after Abe Martin's fictional friends).
Beautifully situated, each room is decorated with lovely quilts and a modern country decor. Some rooms have fireplaces, and all have access to year round pool, deck, basketball and volleyball courts, game room, horseshoes, internet access, cocktail lounge, restaurant, and a wicked fried chicken buffet on Tuesdays!
Nashville. The nicest hotel in Nashville offers under about 90 rooms with lovely rustic settings. Suites are nice, and many of the rooms have beautiful views of the wilderness. Restaurant, cocktail lounge, year round pool, mini-golf, shuffleboard, bocce ball, tennis, wireless internet, basketball, volleyball and more.
Hills O'Brown owns a variety of beautiful log cabins for people to stay in. Beautifully located all around the area with all levels of amenities. Starts off at $150 a night!
Nashville. A beautiful suite hotel overlooking downtown Nashville. Countless high end amenities, restaurant, bar, pool, and more. Honey-moon type place!
Cute bed and breakfast, which is the oldest inn in Indiana. Rooms and cottages with various amenities, except none of the rooms have TVs, phones, clocks, or radios. It's one of the most popular inn's in the state, and rumor has it that its haunted. Very popular for honeymooners and romantic weekenders. Every check-in gets a free bottle of wine and a restaurant that was the first in the state to stop using hydrogenated oils. Vegan friendly.
One-room cabins, camping for RVs, tents and popups, internet access, pool, playground, rec room, and camping store. Friendly!
RV hookups and cabin rentals. Fishing lake (no license is needed), pets allowed, and pool too. Located next to one of the best flea markets in the area.
I-65 runs north-south just to the east of the park, from Indianapolis (north) and Louisville (south). Head west off I-65 onto US-46 which will take you directly into Nashville and to the park.
