Sunrise Cabin

We created the Sunrise Cabin as your getaway on our organic farm. This cabin is made from all sorts of repurposed and reimagined materials, so it's good for the planet and for you. The Sunrise Cabin has a wood floor, carpets, and a queen bed,  plus loads of windows so you really feel like you're in the forest (and you get a good cross breeze!). The cabin is in the woods and faces east, so you'll have a view of sunrise through the forest, right from your queen bed. The cabin is rustic, and outfitted with the basics - bedding, shelves, lights, a good ceiling fan, and two outlets. The French doors open onto the porch (the perfect place to read a book or do some yoga). You'll have your own campfire ring and picnic table, and potable water and composting toilet are less than a minute walk away. Your parking spot is about 100' from the cabin. 

Though we're an easy three-mile drive from the Interstate, you'll never know it when you're tucked away at the Sunrise Cabin.

We built the cabin just behind our 1800's barn, so you'll have a sense of privacy - and, depending of the time of year, baby chicks or our small flock of sheep for neighbors. There's limited cell service here at the farm, so you can unplug; the frogs, lightning bugs, and woods will keep you occupied instead!

The Sunrise Cabin is small (about 12'x12'), and has a queen bed. It's really designed for two people, though you could lay out a sleeping pad/bag on the floor or porch if you needed to squeeze in another! If you're traveling with more than 2 people, just click "Add Additional Guests" or consider booking our Canvas Bell Tent. It's located about a 300' walk away, in the same woods, but you'll all have privacy because of the forest. 

We built the cabin from old barn timbers, scrap wood, windows a friend was replacing, salvaged doors, and more. We actually used to list this site as a three-sided shelter, as you'll see in some photos...it was originally a horse shelter! In 2021, we converted it to a cabin, adding a fourth wall (with French doors and windows) and a nice 12'x6' porch.

Our Farm (Nightfallfarm.com) is a sustainable livestock farm, where we raise animals on pasture and sell meat and eggs locally. There's lots to explore here at 125-acre farm: see our pigs, chickens, turkeys, and lambs; walk on our trails through our woods and restored wetlands; or stroll along the Muscatatuck River. 

We can add on a casual farm tour where kids of all ages check out the farm animals and see how we're bringing this land back to life ($15 per person).

Looking to spend time in nature? You'll be near lots of good options. Our farm is about 20 minutes from family-friendly paddling options and easy hikes at Muscatatuck National Wildlife Refuge and Hardy Lake State Recreation area (bring your kayak or canoe!). It's about a 30 minute drive to our favorite hikes at Clifty Falls State Park and Jackson-Washington State Forest, where you can find steep hills and hollers, excellent views, fossils, creeks, and waterfalls. 

Or try these neat, low-key outings nearby:

1. Paddle or hike in southeast Indiana. Loads of trails listed on Alltrails.com, and we can give some tips on easy flatwater paddling within a 30 minute drive. 

2. Tastings, apple picking or a visit to the pumpkin patch at Huber Winery (or any other winery on the Indiana Wine Trail).

3. Madison, Indiana's many, many festivals (for Blues, try "RibberFest"; for arts, try "Chautauqua"; the list goes on!).

4. Visit Columbus, Indiana for architecture tours, local eating (try Upland Brewing's Pumphouse...their nachos feature our chicken), or the Corn Maze Beer Fest at 450 North Brewing.
