About Us

Here’s why we built this place and why we hope you love it.

What a fun (and big) project this has been! 

It just us: Nate & Emily. We work well together; bouncing ideas off each other constantly. Together with our kids, we are creating something really special to be able to share with you.  


February 2024: we hopped in the truck one Saturday and headed for Parke County to see what we could find: A property with a house we could renovate for a short term rental.  We sure did find what we were looking for - and much more!  


August 2024: purchased the property’s 34 acres - cleanup and renovations started immediately! 


Fast forward to August 2026: two years have come and gone, and we are finally completing the last two cabins!  We’re also dreaming up ideas for the property’s outbuildings and landscape so stay tuned!  The Narrows has become a special place for us.  After pouring our hearts and souls into this place, our hope is that you make your own memories here - whether that’s coffee on the porch, exploring the creek, laughing around the fire, or just slowing down for a while.  

Thank you for being here and supporting our dream.  

We want for you to experience it too! 

Love, Nate, Emily & family
