FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Do your rates increase based on the number of guests?
Nope. Unlike many cabin owners, we don't charge extra fees based on the number of people staying at the cabin.
What is the cleaning fee for?
It covers the cost of the maid service. They do a wonderful job of cleaning the cabin between each set of guests.
Why do you charge a cleaning fee?
To help keep our nightly rates lower. Some cabin owners may choose to not have a Cleaning fee, however it is a fact that every cabin owner has the cost of maid service so if they aren't specifically charging their guests this fee, they must be factoring the cost of the maid service into their regular nightly rates. Our maid service charges $65 to clean the cabin regardless of how many nights the last guests stayed and regardless of how many guests slept in the cabin. So, in order to save our guests money, we have decided to not factor the costs of maid service into our regular nightly rates because this would, in effect, penalize guests that stay longer than the two night minimum.
Are there any other fees?
No. The cleaning fee is the only fee. The exact cost for a reservation can be easily calculated by taking the rate
times the number of nights you plan on staying plus the one time cleaning fee plus 12% tax.
Example: $168 * 2 nights + $65 + 12% = $449.12

Are there fish in the pond ?
Yep. The pond is new as of 2006. It was stocked with bluegill. Some guests have reported back to us that they had some luck fishing. Don't expect to catch enough for a fish fry or anything like that... and, although its not a rule, we would like everyone to practice catch-and-release.
Where exactly is the cabin located?
For the privacy of our guests, we do not give out the exact address of the cabin until it is rented. However, its in the southern part of Brown county about a 25 minute drive from the town of Nashville. Here is a Google Map showing the general location of the cabin.... Map
What are the check-in and check-out times?
Check-in is 4pm and check-out is 11am.
Is the cabin private?
Yes. The cabin is remote enough and surrounded by enough forests to offer you penalty of privacy and get you in touch with nature.
How many bedrooms are there?
Three. One master bedroom on first floor (king bed) and two bedrooms upstairs (two twins and a full).
How many bathrooms are there?
The cabin offers 1 and 1/2 bathrooms. Downstairs is a bathroom with a shower and a private commode, upstairs there is the half bath.
Does the cabin have an outside fire ring?
Yes. There is a fire ring in the back. It overlooks the pond and close to the hot tub deck and picnic table.
Is there a nice restaurant nearby?
There are many good places to eat to Nashville, of course. However the Story Inn is only about 10 minutes from the cabin. It's very unique, very "Brown County", a bit pricey but I think you would enjoy it. Wonderfully for a romantic dinner for two. And they also do a Sunday brunch that would work well if you are checking out Sunday morning. http://www.storyinn.com/dining/restaurant.htm
Can you recommend other things to do in Brown County?
Well, of course, Nashville is a fun place to shop and eat. The State Park is a wonderful place to hike and see great scenery. You might try contacting the Brown County visitors center for more info on things to do.

Behind the Name
It took us almost a year of thinking up names before we finally came up with one that we really liked. But when we finally hit on it we knew it was perfect for this place...
Yep, a year is a long time to struggle over something as simple as a name, but we wanted a name that meant something, stood for something, had substance.
So what's so special about the name you ask? Well first, it has the word buffalo in it and that brings up thoughts of older times. Thoughts of when America was a lot younger and wild, open to exploration, just brimming over with adventure. The Wild West, immense stretches of prairie land, Native America Indians, early American settler's struggling to make a better lives for themselves the buffalo symbolizes all these things and more.
Running Buffalo means something else too; it's the name of an endangered native plant. A specific type of clover once common in the American prairies until the drastic decline of the buffalo in the late 19th century, Running Buffalo Clover had a symbiotic relationship with the buffalo. Like the buffalo, it came very close to extinction, but thankfully is coming back in a few protected areas.
So you see, this cabin's name has a couple meanings and we think we chose well. We hope you do too!
Relax and enjoy your stay!
Best Wishes,
The Edmonds
