The rates for most accommodation units are for double occupancy. A $10-$15 per person charge is added to each night of a reservation for more than 2 persons per room. The entire Cornerstone LODGE price is based on up to 6 persons with one additional person allowed. Many dates have multiple night requirements and partial cancellation of such reservations will not be allowed.

One complimentary parking spot is included for each individual room reserved. A convenient pay lot is located across the street from the Main House or east of Cornerstone Lodge for guests bringing more than one vehicle per room or if arriving before noon or departing the village after 1 pm. Tudie's Cottage has 2 designated parking spaces. The Cornerstone Lodge has 4. A complimentary parking spot is provided for Cabin 360 guests while enjoying the downtown Nashville area. 

Some online reservation scenarios may provide an improper room rate or an average nightly rate that incorporates special rates. Management reserves the right to make appropriate adjustments in a timely fashion to rate quote errors. The customer may cancel a reservation upon which any such adjustment has been made within 3 days of notice of such adjustment without incurring processing fees.

Inclement Weather Policy

We understand wintery weather can be very uncooperative with travel. Cornerstone Inn has adopted the following policy to assist our guests as travel plans are made.

If the Indiana Department of Homeland Security has issued a TRAVEL WARNING including a county on your necessary route on the day of your arrival, your reservation may be cancelled with a refund, less any associated processing expenses incurred or your reservation may be moved to an alternate date within a limited time. A moved reservation may be restricted to dates and/or days of the week that Cornerstone Inn is not expecting to be at capacity. Management will base any future reservation date restrictions upon how likely it is that potential guests were turned away to honor the original reservation, the severity of the weather regionally, the length of time given to try to resell the room(s) and any other such factor affecting the specific situation.

If the Indiana Department of Homeland Security has NOT issued a TRAVEL WARNING including a county on your necessary route on the day of arrival, the room(s) can be released to resell. If room(s) cannot be resold, or must be sold at a discount, a late cancelation fee up to a full charge per room per night will be applied. Fees do not incur tax liability therefore any taxes paid will be refunded. We will make every effort to resell released rooms at the best possible rate to maximize any further potential refund.

It is the intention of Cornerstone Inn to extend our best effort to honor the spirit of the reservation process by treating each reservation with utmost integrity.

Thank you again, for selecting Cornerstone Inn for your Brown County getaway. We appreciate your patronage very much and look forward to your visit. Safe travels!
