This was our second year staying and we enjoyed it just as much as last year. Very nice little tree house, close enough to the town but far enough away to enjoy the quiet. Will definitely be back!

Everything was great just as expected. Since we didn't need a key, it would've been nice to not have to stop at the leasing office other than that everything was perfect.

Relaxing and well stocked home base

The Catalpa Treehouse was a great and relaxing place to stay for our visit to the Brown County area. The location was conveniently close to Nashville IN but far enough away as to have the peaceful affect we wanted. We were completely satisfied with all aspects of the accommodations.

Week at Catalpa.

Just what the doctor ordered in COVID-time. Safe and secure so that we could always eat in, with a nicely "stocked" kitchen. The home was decorated very nicely as "farmhouse chic."

Country relaxation

I stayed by myself for a few days to relax in a country setting and hike while the leaves were beautiful. Catalpa Tree house was just what I wanted nice hosts, clean, hot water, comphy bed, warm and inviting. The hot tub was clean and the jets Worked well. I enjoyed sitting in it while watching birds and squirrels around me Quiet except for noise for a short while one morning from the lumber co next door. I also heard a group of coyotes howling one night which I just loved!

Sucks

Owners are downstairs and complain if you are a little noisy, a/c doesn’t work, and hot tub was 107 degrees. Also they a have an outside camera facing the stair you go up but it’s not disclosed on the listing. Also vrbo wouldn’t let me post my real feelings about this place so beware dealing with them as well
