Very clean and looks just like the pictures. Was a great home to relax at in the evenings after exploring the local towns. The hot tub was perfect and we even were able to use the fireplace due to a couple chilly nights. All your needs were met from cooking supplies to bathroom necessities. Home is only 20-25 minute drive to Nashville and the town of Franklin was fun to explore from shops to food to parks! Host was very responsive and kind. Would highly recommend this home.

We stayed here for a girls weekend and it is an incredibly cute cabin. Very thoughtfully decorated, you can tell a lot of care went into it. We had an amazing time and had everything we needed and more! The hot tub was great, the beds were comfy, and the cabin was very clean.Due to the season and backing up to the woods (which we loved, felt very much like a cabin in the mountains despite being right outside of Franklin!), we had a couple of bugs. My sister and I are huge wimps about that, but Sherral responded immediately and took care of the issue, which we really appreciated.We would absolutely stay here again, in fact, my mom is very interested in booking it for our family Christmas gathering this year. Thanks for having us!

Decorated immaculately and such sweet details to show the owner cares.The game room had not only a basketball hoop and foosball table, but many other board and card games. A S’mores basket and coffee bar were thoughtful touches. The back deck allowed for sun in the early afternoon, a nice fire pit at night, and the lower level had the hot tub for relaxing. The lodge had everything one would need for a relaxing stay far enough in the woods to feel like a retreat, but just minutes from town. It was clean and modern, with a country feel. If you are hesitating, just book it.

We stayed at the Deer Ridge Lodge with our 4 children while visiting Tennessee and the house more than met our expectations. Everything was beautifully and tastefully done. The host was communicative and quick to respond. It was stocked with everything we needed and so much more. This was a 2 state, week long trip with 4 kids under the age of 11 and by the time we got to Tennessee we were burnt out on eating out 24/7. We swung through the nearby Publix and grabbed some easy meals and I was able to cook a full dinner with the kitchen being fully stocked with all the necessary dishes/utensils/pans etc. Our kids had a blast with the game room and hot tub and are already asking when we can go back. I’ve already recommended this home to others traveling to Tennessee soon and would happily recommend it to everyone looking for a COMFORTABLE, peaceful, spacious and beautiful place to stay.

About the host

Hosted by Sherral

Host profile image
I've been hosting for over ten years and truly love creating spaces for people to enjoy. My motto is "give our guests an experience," not just a place to stay. I take pride in thoughtful details that help make every visit memorable.

Why they chose this property

The moment I saw this property, I fell in love. My intuition told me immediately that this was a truly unique and special place. Tucked away in a secluded setting, it offers a sense of peace and tranquility that is hard to find—yet just down the hill, you’re minutes from town, with shops and restaurants close at hand.

The wildlife is incredible, with deer often wandering through in the early mornings and evenings. It is simply one of the most peaceful places I’ve ever experienced. During your stay, you’ll feel this same serenity, and it’s a place you’ll remember fondly for many years to come.

What makes this property unique

What makes this property truly unique is its rare combination of peaceful seclusion and convenient access to town. Surrounded by nature, it offers a quiet, private setting where wildlife—especially deer—can often be seen in the early mornings and evenings. The tranquility and natural beauty create a sense of retreat, yet shops, restaurants, and local attractions are just minutes away. It’s a place where you can fully relax, reconnect with nature, and still enjoy the ease of nearby amenities.
