The house was spacious, well stocked, and beautifully decorated. We felt at home and didn’t need to purchase any extras as this place had everything. We loved the game room! We also enjoyed the hot tub and all of the outdoor space with plenty of seating and gorgeous views. Wonderful place to stay!

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re so happy to hear everyone enjoyed the property — especially the game room, jacuzzi, covered porches, and those relaxing showers and soaking tub during the rainy days. It’s great to know the kitchen worked well for your family meals and that your Golden Retrievers had plenty of space to run and play.
We truly appreciate you choosing to stay with us and would love to host you and your family again anytime!

We are delighted to hear you enjoyed your experience and stay. We appreciate your kind words and hope you will stay with us again. Thank you and happy travels.
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’re so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay! It’s a wonderful feeling to know our guests love DeerRidge as much as we do. We look forward to your stay with us again.
A really beautiful setting for a quiet get away. The hosts were terrific and so responsive to our needs. Communication with them was fantastic! Perfectly situated minutes from Franklin, but nestled in a quiet rustic setting.
Top notch cabin destination-Christmas for our family. Included great accommodations and games and everything for our merged-family Christmas, perfectly located near city with rustic woods/wilderness feel. Able to see the deer in front yard as well. Highly recommended for anyone!

We are truly happy you and your family enjoyed your stay and Christmas celebration. DeerRidge is a wonderful place to be during the holidays. We hope you will visit us again.
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!

We strive to provide the utmost attention and care at the lodge. It's great to know our guests like you and your group enjoyed it so much. We will always be attentive to our guests. We can't wait to have you come back and stay again.
We really enjoyed our stay at deer ridge lodge. Everything was so well appointed and we couldn’t have been happier ok the front porch watching the wildlife!
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.

Thank you for sharing your experience. It's always great to hear that our guests enjoyed their stay so much. Come back and stay with us again.
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
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.
