Getting to Rising Moon Ridge
Located just 10 minutes from downtown Nashville, IN, our cabin offers a secluded feel with easy accessibility. From Bloomington or Indy, the scenic drive through the rolling hills of Brown County is the perfect start to your getaway. On-site parking is ample and situated right at the cabin entrance.
Road & Seasonal Notes: While the main roads are well-maintained, the final stretch involves atypical cabin gravel driveway. During winter months, 4WD or AWD is highly recommended to navigate seasonal snowfall and maintain easy access to the ridge.
