About this property

A RARE JEWEL! Luxury Guest Ranch Just Minutes to Franklin & Nashville

Pearls 'n Spurs Luxury Guest Ranch offers our guests a rare opportunity to stay on a beautiful 10-acre mini-equestrian property close to everything. Just a 10 minute drive from historic, charming Franklin and 20 minutes from Nashville, this elegant ranch home features three lovely bedrooms/2.5 baths, a sweeping front porch with breathtaking views over the front pasture and horses, two majestic floor to ceiling wood-burning fireplaces in the open plan living room and family room area, and an inviting back patio with pergolas and a fire pit to enjoy evening gatherings, bonfires, and s'mores under the Tennessee moon. The patio looks onto a sprawling back yard with mature trees and just beyond, the home's own private forest. Tennessee offers four gorgeous seasons and you will love the beauty of this Ranch all year at the lush botanical symphony of a Tennessee spring, dance with the fireflies in early summer, fall asleep to the songs of crickets in mid-summer, languish in a shaded hammock with a good book, breathe in the crisp aroma and vibrant colors of fall, and indulge in the quiet calm (even pristine snow cover sometimes) of a Southern winter.

***Please note that property host lives onsite in an adjacent (one adjoining wall) self-contained apartment with its own separate entrance. This is a working equestrian property and host must be onsite to care for her horses and other animals. You may see the Ranch's outdoor cats as you come and go, and for this reason we ask you to drive slowly and carefully at all times when entering and leaving the property during your stay. There are two Golden Retrievers on property which will be on the apartment side and not off-leash at any time during your stay in the main home. For your safety, please know that the horses are strictly off limits. Please do not (ever) feed or touch them without your host's express consent and presence. Due to the proximity of our horses and pets, this property would not be well-suited to those with severe allergies.***

This ranch property would be particularly well-suited for visitors to Nashville (the historic Ryman Auditorium, Grand Ole Opry, the honkytonks of Lower Broadway) and Franklin, with its rich Civil War history, great shopping and antiquing, vintage pop-up fairs, Southern restaurants, and world-class annual music events such as the CMAs, the Americana Festival, and the Pilgrimage Festival. This luxurious in-town ranch is also conveniently located directly across the interstate from the Williamson County Ag Expo Center, scene of many major area events.

The property is within a short walk or drive to a wide range of amenities. The new Berry Farms development, a two-minute drive away, offers a Publix, Sonic, the fun and vibrant Mexican restaurant Tito's, Whit's Frozen Custard, a nail salon, and more (even a new Goddard School). Berry Farms also hosts a weekly Farmer's Market during the summer months. Catch a live music event or movie at the iconic Franklin Theater or shop to your heart's content in the whimsical, gorgeous boutiques on Main Street (or major department stores at nearby Cool Springs Mall). Every summer, the Williamson County Fair offers great fun just across the I-65. If Franklin's rich Civil War history draws you, the Carnton Plantation and other historic sites are just minutes away.

The Pearls 'n Spurs Luxury Guest Ranch is especially well-suited for:

- Families or small groups
- Girlfriends' or couples' getaways
- Mother-daughter getaways or bridal party quarters (the Ranch's beautiful horses are also available for elegant photo shoots)
- Singer/songwriters looking for easy access to both the Franklin music scene and Nashville's Music Row
- Relocating corporate executives
- International guests: your host has extensive experience living and working around the world and is multilingual.

Pearls 'n Spurs Luxury Guest Ranch strives to provide much more than beautiful accommodation - our passion is to create a memorable experience for our guests and attention to every detail of your stay. If you simply want enjoy your coffee or glass of wine on the front porch or get cozy and read by the fireplace during the cooler weather in complete privacy and tranquility, be our guest(s). This property is the perfect retreat, serene and lovely, yet close to everything your heart desires.

On request, Pearls 'n Spurs Luxury Guest Ranch may also be available to facilitate ADDITIONAL ACTIVITIES/EXCURSIONS tailored to your heart's desire:

- Private curated live music (your own "mini-house concert)
- Tastings and picnics at area wineries and distilleries
- Nights on the town at area music spots (limo service can be arranged on request)
- Indulgent spa treatments
- Hot air balloon trips over the Tennessee countryside
- Canoeing
- Attendance on ongoing area events.

We look forward to welcoming you to Pearls 'n Spurs Luxury Guest Ranch. And prospective guests, as your hostess will be onsite, please always feel free to indicate whether you prefer to briefly meet me on arrival to introduce you to the property, or if you prefer complete and total privacy. Many guests love to experience the rhythm of the Ranch, understand what ranch life is like and watch the daily chores; others may not be interested and that's just fine. I ask only that you make your preferences known so that I can adjust accordingly as your onsite hostess!

Perfect Low Key Getaway
A great property tucked away, but near everything you need. A group of us were in town for some classes and the place was a perfect location to get back and unwind in the evenings. It's a nice one level property for folks that don't want stairs with tons of room. Solid comms from the host throughout the stay. Easy check-in and smooth process from start to finish.

Loved our week at Pearls 'n Spurs
We loved the spaciousness of this ranch house. It was perfect for my husband and I and our West Coast daughter, her husband, and their three-year old...our granddaughter. Our reason for traveling to Franklin was a wedding and we loved having a place where we could totally relax and enjoy family being together. We are so glad we found this house and would highly recommend it to others.

Local getaway - wonderful!
We needed a place to stay while our floors were being redone. This felt like a retreat away and we all loved it. Vera is the sweetest host and even had a fresh loaf of bread baked for us. We enjoyed watching the horses and the kids loved the outdoor space in the hammock and the sweet cat, Lola. Our kids didn’t want to leave! Vera was amazing at making sure we had whatever we needed and we left as friends with her. Wonderful place to stay!

Wonderful property and host!
We enjoyed our stay very much! The location is fantastic and the house and property are beautiful. We saw deer and foxes from the living room window and horses in the pasture. Very tranquil setting, with nearby shopping and restaurants. Approx 20 minutes from Nashville. Vera and her daughter are some of the kindest people you’ll ever meet! They both go out of their way to make sure you have everything you need. Would definitely stay here again!

Stunning horse property!!!
We had an incredible time at Vera’s horse property! It is absolutely beautiful, and in an incredible part of Tennessee. Vera is an incredibly gracious host and also had some great pointers on things to do as a family while visiting. One of the trip highlights was an on-site horse lesson for two of our children. We HIGHLY recommend Vera and her property!!!
