Summary:
Wood and stone cabin with spacious porches. Lake nearby. Set in a rustic pastoral paradise that makes up Big East Fork, a 2000-acre Conservation Easement 19 miles from Nashville and 6 mi from Franklin and Leipers Fork. Beautiful view of the working organic farm next door and a pond out front. farm has sweet animals for petting. The common grounds hold a Horseshoe Pit, Shuffle Board, and Bocci ball. Parties and Events NOT permitted via AirBnB. Additional $40/night fee for more than four guests.

The Space:
The elegant master bedroom has a queen bed and private bathroom with Jacuzzi tub and shower. The first floor contains two private bedrooms, two bathrooms, living room, and a fully equipped kitchen. There is a loft bedroom that holds twin & double beds. Outside there is a beautiful porch overlooks the gorgeous pond and yard.

Guest Access:
Guests may access the entire house except for attic and basement spaces. A ramp allows wheelchair entry to first floor. Three full bathrooms on first floor.

The Neighborhood:
The best thing about the Neighborhood is that there are no neighbors! Its a rural paradise that's a short walk from a 6-acre lake and the many hiking trails of the Lake Gratitude Natural Area.

Getting Around:
The House is located 19 miles from Midtown Nashville (Hwy 440) and 23 miles from HonkyTonk Central if you use Hwy 100. Taking McCrory Road to I-40 has less stop lights, but is a longer route. Picturesque and historic Downtown Franklin is 8 miles away. Uber operates here; but a personal or rental car is highly recommended.

Other Things to Note:
If you would like to use the Lake Gratitude Natural Area with its lake and private hiking trails, please contact The Fork Inn.

Interaction with Guests:
At the Center Lodge, you have privacy from neighbors and noise, but should you wish to meet friends, Lake Gratitude Nature Sanctuary is close by. We generally leave our guests alone, but may visit unannounced at appropriate times to say hello and confirm that guests are adhering to our agreements.

    There were plenty of nice community spaces including the living room, ping pong room, dining room, kitchen breakfast area, and several patio areas, so it worked well since we had a group of 10 individuals.

    I am not one to complain but I feel it's worth it to make sure others know going in what to be aware of in a couple areas. For reference, this was a weekend getaway for a team building event. Wifi was very important as we had a whole day of work events. I was told they could support that but we couldn't stay connected. Good size and fit our needs perfectly. Unfortunately, there are cobwebs covering that place from top to bottom. It looks like Halloween decorations in some areas inside the house. I know it is surrounded by trees and secluded but it looks like there hasn't been a deep clean in there for years. It felt very dirty and neglected in that way. Bugs everywhere - some pest control is desperately needed. As the event got closer, people started having to cancel so our final number changed. Since you have to pay extra for additional people, I asked if we could change the number on the reservation so we didn't pay for people that wouldn't be staying. I was told I could absolutely do that and we should wait until after the stay. My reservation was for 10 but we ended up having 7 stay and after multiple attempts at getting a refund for those additional 3, I have now not received a response. I gave it a few weeks hoping not to have to give a negative report but alas, here we are. In hindsight, I wouldn't have chosen this place. It looks like a reasonably priced option but after their outrageous fees, I may as well have gotten something a little nicer.

    Pictures do not do justice to the house, its very spacious and comfortable. Kitchen is on the small side, but worked perfectly for our group of 14. The fridge is on the older side but held what we needed to grill out and have a shrimp boil. We did have an issue with the propane tank being empty, luckily we brought a half full one from home for the shrimp boil and used it until we could refill the other tank. Beds were comfortable. Some showers better than others, primary was the best. The primary bath really needs a door or curtain. The deck was spacious and cool with the fans. Loved the rocking chairs and gliders. It was nice sitting around talking at the end of the day. The record player was a HIT! We had horseshoe tournaments, corn hole and bocci ball. The best hit were the animals, new baby pigs, baby ducks, Winston the Cow, Daisies the Donkey and all the pigs. Our nine year old grandson learned about Poke Salit and feed it to the pigs through the fence. Nice mowed walking trails for us older folks. The kids road bikes even on the main road with hardly any traffic to worry about. We intended to kayak but the kids were so busy with all the above and a 1500 piece puzzle that we never made it to the lake. Only a few miles of beautiful scenery to Liepers Fork. Internet was very spotty and calls dropped easily. But being in a valley surrounded by trees makes that not so much of a problem. We were meet by Wade when we arrived. We meet Leeann and Jonathan during out visit.

    My friends and I had a great experience at the lodge. The lodge itself is well kept, spacious, and full of atmosphere. The property itself is gorgeous. It is a bit of a drive to Nashville, but Franklin nearby is close with a surprising amount to do. All in all we had a great time and look forward to coming back.

    We loved staying here, it was perfect for our family. Waking up every morning to the most beautiful landscape we'd ever seen was such a treat. Everyone was so kind and the children loved the tour of the farm as well as the scenery. Both the indoor and outdoor living spaces were beautiful and well maintained. We can't wait to visit again. Thank you for such a wonderful experience.
