Welcome to our neck of the woods

About Us

Hi! I’m Kara and I’ve lived in Brown County, Indiana since late 2016 with my husband, Clint, and our two daughters. We decided to move here on a bit of a whim, but now we can’t imagine a better place to call home. 

Brown County offers a natural beauty and slower pace of life that allows us to feel a little bit like we’re on vacation every day, and we couldn’t ask for more.

Since moving here, both Clint and I have switched jobs (me more than once), gained a group of friends that we couldn’t live without, gotten involved in the community, and ultimately dreamed up, designed, and built our business the Brown County Barn Burner.

What’s Tanglewood Hideaway?

During our time living here, we’ve hiked, biked, ate, drank, and explored our way through Brown County. We’ve loved every minute of it and now I want to share what we’ve learned.

Which is why I created Tanglewood Hideaway – a spot for me to share all about life and travel in Brown County & Nashville, Indiana. Here you’ll find:

  • Recommendations on our favorite local shops, restaurants, activities, and events so that you can more easily plan your next trip to Brown County

  • General travel tips and tricks for making the most of any upcoming vacation, especially if you’re traveling with family or friends

  • Simple ideas for how to “bring the vacation to you” and make your everyday life feel more relaxed and connected

We love this town and want you to, too.

Whether you’re a Brown County local or a visitor, I want everyone to love this place as much as we do.

And no matter where you’re at, I hope we’ll inspire you to make each day a little more like vacation and give you the tips you need to plan your next group or family trip (to Brown County or anywhere else) with confidence and ease.

So, thanks for joining us here and hopefully you’ll get a chance to visit Brown County soon…and maybe we can even host you at the Barn Burner!
