Wonderful stay at Chris and JD’s Hilltop Escape
We had a very peaceful relaxing stay at Chris and JD’s home. The theater room downstairs was super comfy and we were able to watch my old favorite movies in honor of my 50th birthday. The kitchen is very well stocked. The family is super communicative and sweet. We loved our stay.

Tranquility on the hill
We had 9 of us come from all over the US to be together for Thanksgiving. It was so wonderful to have the space we needed to spread out but also come together for fellowship. Worked out PERFECT for us and the view out the windows is breathtaking. Chris and JD were excellent hosts with such wonderful spirits. We will definitely be back.

Why they chose this property

We purchased the property because it reminded us of a year-round retreat. We have had artist, authors, editors, song writers and vacationers all spend quite a bit of time brainstorming, creating and just plain relaxing here.
There are plenty of deer grazing the property (they think it's theirs), as well as whippoorwills, squirrels, owls, and turkeys.
Our favorite thing is to sit under the bright stars at night with a glass of wine and tune into relaxing music.
We know you will enjoy the peace and quiet as much as we do!

What makes this property unique

20 minutes to Downtown Nashville, 12 minutes to Historical Downtown Franklin, 1.5 miles to the Natchez Trace bridge, and only 4 minutes from the world famous Loveless Cafe!!
