About this farm stay rental

This beautiful 4 bedroom 4.5 bath home is situated on our family-owned WORKING 78-acre horse farm which specializes in trail rides. This is a working farm and you will see farm equipment both sitting around and in use. Please be careful and supervise your children. The farm's equipment are not toys.

You will love all of the room inside and outside. Visit our Petting zoo, book a horseback ride or pony rides for the younger kids, visit with Hank our Free Range Pig, or feed the chickens as the come by in the morning. Plenty of fish in the lake, bring your bait and tackle. Swimming and boating from the dock, beach or boats.

We are convenient to Indianapolis, Indianapolis International Airport, Childrens Musuem and other area attractions. Indianapolis is known for motor sports — Indianapolis Motor Speedway and Lucas Oil Raceway are easy to get to, yet far enough away to relax and enjoy yourself. You can also find out what is happening in our area during your stay by checking out the websites for Hendricks County Visitors Bureau or Visit Indy.

Although their are plenty of dining out options within 25 minutes of the home, the kitchen is fully stocked with all the cookware and utensils for you to use to make meals at home. There is a gas grille on our spacious, private back porch for the grill masters in your group to use.

Spend your day and evening sitting on our wrap-around porch watching our horses and goats at the Ranch, you'll probably see our free range chickens, ducks and pot belly pigs roaming around the property. Your evenings could be complete with a bon fire either by the house or by the lake.

Feel like fishing? Grab your pole and take a short walk to our 3-acre stocked lake for some bluegill, crappie or bass. This is a lake that you will share with guests from The Cabin at Natural Valley Ranch and our family. We currently have a canoe, and a paddle boat for your use at no extra charge. The home does not overlook our lake, but is on our property. Please be sure to check google maps if you are unsure of the walk. It is about 3 minutes and includes a small sand beach for swimming. Life jackets are not provided

Other options for fun while you are stay at The Cottage are playing basketball by the house or volleyball by the lake. Trail rides are what we specialize in so don't miss out on making more memories by riding one of our horses with a guide on our trails that meander through 50 acres of woods, fields and sometimes White Lick Creak. We offer 30 minute, 60 minute trail rides.

Having a family reunion or other event? Ask about renting our lake-side 'Outpost-Country Occasions' facility with more than 1,000 sq. ft. of meeting/event space with access for caterers should you so choose. There's even room for a tent.

Absolutely no Outside guests or events at the property without the permission of the owners. When you book we ask that you give us the number of guests staying with us. That number is what we allow. Unless we have discussed in advance we do not allow, parties with outside guests, weddings, birthday parties with outside guests, bbq or cookouts with outside guests. Thank you for your understanding.

We do have pets on the premises, cats, dogs, chickens, ducks, etc. All are friendly and none will be in the house.

Your stay includes the use of a two car garage with parking for another 10+ cars up to the largest vehicles, including a bus.

We are in Brownsburg about 12 miles west of Indianapolis. We have many dining and shopping options close by if you choose.

Family-friendly and family fun . . . you will discover the difference that family makes when you discover Natural Valley Ranch!

Wedding weekend for our son and daughter in law. Family stayed in the Cottage and Grooms party in the Cabin. We were able to have the rehearsal dinner in the Outpost too. Everyone loved the property and spent time in the pond and the pavilion. Marie was so helpful and responsive to any questions I had.

The house and property was perfect for our three grown kids and spouses and 6 grandchildren. We enjoyed fishing in the pond, pony rides and lots of outdoor area for games and running around. The kitchen was well stocked, the air conditioning was great and the WiFi worked great. Communication with host was excellent. This was our second stay and we plan another trip here in 2026.

Wonderful stay! Perfect activities for all ages. Our only issue was there was no wifi. We think the modem wasn’t working. Good thing was, we really didn’t need it.

Chuck was very open in his communication about expectations he had for us and the property which made check out super easy. The property was beautiful and came with a lot of things to do that never required us to even leave the property. Great time!

It was ok. Nice house. Could have been a little cleaner. Horrible walk to the creek. Should make more accessible. Pond very algae, murky. Boats ok. Fishing ok. Petting zoo ok. Horseback ride good.

The property was a good fit for our needs. We had 6 adults for most of the week & hosted our son’s fiancé & 4 bridesmaids the night before the wedding. The kitchen was perfect for getting ready with the 2 tables & plenty of natural light. The bedrooms were decent sizes. The only issue we had was the pull out couch wasn’t suitable for guests. Bathrooms were tricky with only one shower on main floor. Upstairs has a Jack-n-Jill with 1 shower & 1 commode then 2 separate sink areas for each bedroom. All of the showers had great water pressure & plenty of hot water. The only drawback logistically for us was there were a lot of stairs going up to the property. Given we were there for our son’s wedding we had a lot more to carry in & out than a normal vacation. Overall the house fit our needs very well. There was a lack of communication & missed appointments from the owners. We had travelled 3 1/2 hrs to meet with the owner to view the Outpost to rent for the rehearsal dinner. We showed up & she was not there & no one had any idea we were coming. We were sent to view the space alone & it was not clean. We never received a call after & had to find a new location w/just a couple of weeks before wedding. We arrived at 7pm & the house was not ready. There were many minor maintenance/up keep/cleanliness issues all week. We didn’t bother trying to even get ahold of the owners bc of the inability to reach them prior & upon arrival. I would rent house again if owners resolved these issues.

We had a fun time together as a family at this property. It was clean, comfortable and there was good communication with the owner . We enjoyed having access to the lake. Great memories were made here and our grandchildren liked the petting zoo too.
