3-WEST AT THE BROWN COUNTY BARN BURNER
Find yourself transported to simpler times and cozy surroundings in 3-West, our moody and colorful second floor unit. Vaulted ceilings, natural materials, and classic details help showcase the colors, textures, and beauty of nature in Brown County.
This three bedroom, two bath unit, with sleeper sofa, has a full kitchen, washer and dryer, walk-out access to the shared rooftop patio, and can sleep up to 10 people.
For larger groups: 3-West is just one of four units available to rent in the Barn Burner. Renting all four units together will allow you to accommodate up to 29 people.

• 1-North and 2-South are directly below the 3-East unit. 2-South has an interior stairway to access the rooftop patio, but 1-North must use another unit’s stairway to access the rooftop patio.
• 1-North (sleeps 3) and 2-South (sleeps 6) are adjoining units and can be combined by opening the shared pass through door between them.
LOCATION
The Brown County Barn Burner is located at 185 S Jefferson St, near the corner of Jefferson and Washington Streets. It’s a quiet corner of town, but still just a few easily walkable blocks from the heart of Nashville, Indiana and all it has to offer – including shopping, restaurants, art galleries and studios, coffee shops, and much more.
Located less than ¼ of a mile from the trailhead of the Salt Creek Trail, guests can comfortably walk or bike the ¾ mile paved trail to reach the Brown County Music Center, Brown County YMCA, local IGA grocery store, and other shops and restaurants in the Salt Creek Plaza. Or hop in your car, and maybe load up your bikes, to head to the Brown County State Park, Yellowwood State Forest, Lake Monroe, nearby Bloomington or Columbus, Indiana, or numerous other nearby attractions.
There is one dedicated parking spot for each unit at the “back” of the building, off Honeysuckle Lane. Honeysuckle Lane is one-way, running to the south (Washington Street), and can be accessed from Pittman House Lane, or any other cross street to the north. If additional parking is needed, there is plenty of free street parking nearby, along with several free public parking lots.
KITCHEN
The kitchen is well-stocked with everything you’ll need for a comfortable stay, including stainless steel Samsung appliances (electric range, microwave, French door refrigerator and freezer, and dishwasher) and butcher block countertops, plus plates, cups, mugs, utensils, pots and pans, coffee and tea making supplies, and basic cooking ingredients. A gas grill is also available for your use on the patio.
You can make your own meals if you want to enjoy a slower start to your morning or a night in, or walk a few blocks to one of the many restaurants in Nashville, knowing you can easily store any leftovers once you’re back.
LAUNDRY
Guests have access to a stackable LG washer and dryer unit, along with laundry necessities, plus an iron and ironing board for your convenience. These amenities make it easy to pack for even a lengthy stay.
BEDROOMS
3-West has three bedrooms – one with a King bed, one with two Twin XL beds (that can be pushed together into a King upon request), one with two Queen beds, as well as a queen sleeper sofa. Each bedroom is uniquely furnished and features premium quality Parachute-brand bedding, Tuft & Needle mattresses, curtains and blackout shades, and a white noise machine.
BATHROOMS
Each bathroom in 3-West is unique – one bathroom features a repurposed vintage dresser for the vanity and a shower/tub combo, while the other bathroom has the vanity area separate from the toilet and shower stall. Plush Parachute-brand towels and all the essentials are provided in each bathroom.
ROOFTOP PATIO
3-West has direct walk-out access to the shared rooftop patio. The rooftop patio is furnished with plenty of chairs, tables, and stools for lounging, dining, and relaxing, along with a gas grill. There are two covered overhangs with ceiling fans to help you stay cool, protect you from the rain, and keep bugs away, on even the hottest Indiana summer nights. A 6 ft long linear gas fire table makes staying warm and making s’mores easy any time of the year.
The rooftop patio is shared by three units (2-South, 3-East, and 3-West). Rent multiple units if you’re traveling with a larger group and everyone can enjoy gathering there to eat, relax, and spend time around the fire in the evenings.
FAMILY-FRIENDLY
Each unit comes equipped with one Pack ‘n Play with fitted sheet, one high chair, kid’s dinnerware, and an assortment of toys and games. Bedrooms are separate from the living spaces, and include blackout window coverings and white noise machines, which means kids can go to bed or take naps while adults have the rest of the space to continue relaxing and enjoying their time together.

Honeysuckle Lane is one-way, running to the south (Washington Street), and can be accessed from Pittman House Lane, or any other cross street to the north.
