This was a great property for what we needed. There were enough beds for everyone which is always an issue when you have several people who are there without spouses and don't want to share a bed with someone else. The house was lovely and Jason and DeMarco were easy to work with. Would definitely recommend.

Annual Nashville trip with my students

I take my small high school vocal ensemble to Nashville each spring to learn more about the music industry, meet artists & songwriters, and enjoy the amazing city of Nashville. It is a challenge to find a property that can house boys & girls separately like this! This property was so perfect for us. Super spacious. SO gorgeous. The owners were so kind and communicated so quickly with us. It was just an amazing weekend in so many ways and this property was so comforting to come "home" to.

Perfect family retreat!

Gratidude Ranch was the perfect place for my extended family to gather for a long weekend. The main house, carriage house, and cottage were all clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed! The kitchen was perfect for all of us (11adults & 3 children) to gather while cooking meals together. We also enjoyed grilling on the deck! The many porches with rocking chairs, porch swings, etc were a favorite in the evening too! As an added bonus, the kids LOVED visiting the animals at the barn! During our stay, we drove into the quaint village of Leipers Fork several times for shopping (the Bubble Joy candy shop was the kids favorite!), eating, and enjoyed wine in the Creek at Crown Winery (the adults favorite)! It was a wonderful weekend. We will be back!

Delightful country getaway and event space

The property was incredibly unique and charming. We utilized almost the entire space, perhaps short of the outdoor fireplace :) Including hosting a family reunion in the event barn, which was a fantastic way to see everyone without even having to leave the grounds. Swim spa was very useful during the hot days and even at night - when the adults wanted a little time to unwind. Hosts were very responsive and attentive during our stay. All the kids loved the animals. My only note to future renters is that there is only one "adult" bedroom in the Ranch House that is private (there is a also a twin room). The other queen room is closed off by a curtain off of the main kitchen, which we didn't realize from the original pictures. And that kitchen can get a little noisy as the main cooking space for the large group.

Our family recently stayed at the GratiDude Ranch in Franklin, Tennessee, to celebrate my dad's 80th birthday, and we truly couldn't have chosen a more perfect place.From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and at home. The property is absolutely beautiful, peaceful, well maintained, and full of charm. It provided the perfect backdrop for bringing our family together to celebrate such a special milestone. Every detail of the ranch helped make our stay memorable. There was plenty of space for everyone to relax, laugh, reconnect, and create lasting memories.Celebrating an 80th birthday is a once-in-a-lifetime occasion, and GratiDude Ranch made it even more meaningful. Our family, including relatives who traveled from across the country, will cherish the memories we made here for years to come. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful place with our family. We highly recommend GratiDude Ranch to anyone looking for a beautiful, relaxing, and unforgettable getaway. We left with grateful hearts and hope to return again someday!

The GratiDude Ranch was perfect for our family of 12 to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. The Ranch House is beautiful and roomy while the cottages are amazingly cute, comfortable and homey. All of the buildings were spotlessly clean upon arrival and everyone loved each one!With the kitchenettes in each cottage and the double kitchen in the Ranch House it was very easy for each family member to brew their own coffee or fix a snack when they wanted something to eat. The swim spa was a highlight of evening gatherings but the hit of the whole weekend was the farm animals. It seemed like someone was down there visiting them almost constantly. The short walk to the creek was another great activity. All in all this property is exactly what is shown in the listing and more!!! Highly recommend the GratiDude Ranch. We will be back!

Pristine clean, exceptional property for family gatherings

Overall a fantastic experience! We stayed over Thanksgiving. The kitchen accommodated chefs and sous chefs with ease and our large turkey would fit in either oven. The dining room was perfect for our group. Plenty of trash bags and other basics. Grandkids loved the animals and playing in the creek at the bottom of the hill. King and twin rooms in the main house were wonderful, although the queen bedroom off the kitchen was short on storage. The cottage is a real gem. We were going to put the grandkids and their parents in the carriage house but the ladder to the loft (only 4'H) was a bit rickety for the little ones. Our main issue was the hot tub which had been emptied for cleaning prior to our arrival - thank you, but it wasn't hot enough till the 3 day - the downside of an 11 person tub! Management was prompt responding, very helpful, totally accountable for the hot tub, and easily score 5 stars!

Exclusive beautiful private bungalow

My wife and our one pet had an amazing stay. The facilities were immaculate. The accommodations were excellent. The decor was delightful. This is a very nice trilevel home with plenty of open space as well as separate areas for privacy or exclusivity during the visit if we needed it. The property was well maintained with multiple acres for our dog to run and play. The location was very private. It was very easy to get to. It was some distance from town but that’s exactly how we wanted it . We would be excited to share our experiences if anyone wants to ask. We are looking forward to booking this facility again.

Our trip to Nashville to see the rolling stones

The host was amazing. Very fast responses and checked in to make sure we were doing ok via email which was nice. This property is 30 min from downtown so we were expecting to want to stay downtown most of the time. What we found out was we really enjoyed the property so much we were dragging our feet to leave to go downtown. The house is spacious and the property is absolutely gorgeous. We plan on taking the bikes down to this property soon as the roads are also perfect 👌
