Blackberry bushes line our gorgeous ridge. All you can eat when in season. Watch the thorny branches when hiking the Blackberry Ridge Trail down to the creek and farm (Hiking pass from Big East Fork Retreat is required to hike). Complete the loop by taking the VisionQuest Trail up the pristine creek back to Blackberry House or take the Retreat shuttle (Call for availability). Close to Leipers Fork, art and culture. This is a 3 bedroom/2 bath home with hardwood floors, an expansive deck and a large carpeted ground floor community room for games, or meetings or lounging.

Friends trip
My friends and I had a great time. The bedrooms were wonderful, the bathrooms, and kitchen was awesome! Even in the heat couldn’t keep us away from the beautiful backyard. The back deck was amazing. We did have lots of bugs so bring bugs spray! Also be aware of critters in the area and the house. We had to put all our food in the fridge. But we loved our time relaxing and had a great time.

This stay was honestly a place of healing for me. The nature surrounding you is awesome! The house was beautiful, clean, and so cozy. I really appreciate the owner checking in to make sure I had everything I needed and was enjoying my stay. Truly a hidden gem in the Franklin area. So glad I found it and will be back.
