Perfect place
So enjoyed our stay! So clean and well stocked. Had everything we needed. We wanted somewhere out a little to enjoy the leaves and "the country" but not too far away from things. Quick drive from Leipers Fork and Franklin. Beautiful setting but also a great t.v. for at night. Will definitely go back!!

Fabulous in every way!
This is a sweet little gem. We loved the location for its country vibe. It was super clean and was exactly as described. Everything you need is there...from kitchen equipment to a towel for your dog. The hosts were gracious enough to let us come up to their home, which is just up the hill, to see and pet their animals. Thank you so much Gratitude Ranch for a great stay!

Wonderful place
We spent Christmas week here and loved it. It was very clean and comfortable, it felt much larger than the pictures show. Kitchen was equipped with plenty to cook with …if you want to. The location is very peaceful not to mention beautiful . I had some of my best sleep here. Jason was an excellent and prompt communicator when we reached out. We will definitely return pn our next visit.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
Somehow after living in Los Angeles for almost 10 years, we ended up in a little village called Leipers Fork and we never looked back! We toured as a band, Jason & deMarco, for over a decade and along the way we've made some smart investments. Purchasing a mini-farm, which we’ve called GratiDude Ranch, was definitely an unexpected chapter of our journey! We still sometimes wonder how we ended up on a farm in Franklin.

GratiDude Ranch bridges rustic charm and modern style. It’s a timeless place and once you enter, get ready for a magical experience. Founded in 2014 and now nestled on 25 acres of gorgeous hillside in the Fernvale area of Leipers Fork outside of Franklin, TN., GratiDude Ranch offers accommodations for up to 40 overnight guests, including a community barn area, a petting zoo with 20+ farm pets, creek frontage, a stocked pond and walking trails all minutes from Leipers Fork.





Why they chose this property

We love it and we just can't keep good things to ourselves, so we decided to rent out our unique Carriage House and Cottage on the property, now known as The Carriage House at GratiDude Ranch and The Cottage at GratiDude Ranch. In 2018 we added "Sugar Hill Cottage" to our portfolio, an adorable cottage with a wraparound porch situated on a hillside on the infamous Old Highway 96 only four miles from the ranch and four miles from downtown Leipers Fork. In 2019 we purchased an additional 15 acres adjoining to our ranch and opened the Lodge & Inn at GratiDude Ranch. Purchasing this property has been a dream of ours since purchasing the ranch and it is allowing us to expand our services in so many ways. The entire lodge & inn can be rented and can sleep up to 18 guests. There is a creekside guesthouse that can be rented separately as well and sleep four to five additional guests (for larger parties, we recommend booking the guesthouse as this gives you privacy on the property). We are expanding yet again and have purchased an adjacent 4 bedroom/3 bath home that we are calling The Bungalow at GratiDude Ranch. We welcome small groups, religious/spiritual groups, families and individuals.

We also have a cabin in Gatlinburg on an overnight rental program so if you ever make it to that part of TN, look up our properties and we'll offer past renters a discount. I (Jason) am a real estate agent. I am the broker of Leipers Fork Group with Keller Williams Realty in Leipers Fork. I am happy to help our renters with their real estate needs while visiting the area. Whether relocating from another state and needing me to do some research, send listings prior to your visit and setting up showings during your stay, or simply needing a place in between moves or looking for a long term rental property, I'm happy to help!

What makes this property unique

deMarco is the Property and Event Manager for the ranch. He is an amazing chef. He hosts monthly farm-to-table dinners throughout the season and if his schedule permits he is happy to offer a private farm to table dinner for our guests upon request. (YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS IT IF HE IS AVAILABLE!). We also host a monthly Hillbilly Clue Murder Mystery dinner (www.hillbillyclue.com). deMarco's background is in hospitality and Health & Wellness. He is able to incorporate his passion for healthy food with his farm to table dinners. We book pretty far in advance, however, sometimes folks cancel last minute so if you are staying over a weekend of a farm to table dinner and are interested in attending please let us know ASAP. We sell out fairly quickly. If one of our events isn't happening during your stay, or deMarco isn't available, we always recommend great restaurants nearby.

Lastly, we run a non-profit off our ranch called "SAFE". We serve foster children and other families in need through several programs. A portion of all rentals go to support our non-profit. We're grateful for what we've been given, and when we get to share it with others, it simply makes our world happier. We live on our ranch site full-time with our twin sons, but our sleeping quarters are very private. You can have your privacy, or visit with us and our 27 farm pets as we work the ranch.
