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.

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.

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.

DeerRidge Lodge was beyond our wildest dreams! From the moment we walked up the steps to the grand upper level deck and saw the swinging bench, rocking chairs and viewed the calm quiet beautiful view - we were in love. The home feels like a chic lodge with exquisite taste in decorating and every detail ties in with the theme of woods. The host had a beautiful Christmas tree and lovely green garlands on the mantle and all around which added so much beauty. Every room felt large and roomy and the kitchen was incredibly well stocked. Everything in the home is of a very high quality - especially the showers and bathtub and sinks. The beds were very comfortable and the lodge is very very quiet. The back deck was so much fun with twinkle lights and the automatic fire pit and grill. Our children and grandchildren adored the game room, cozy blankets everywhere, giant lower level room with plenty of windows and light and games. The hot tub was a bonus as well as the location - only 8 minutes or less from downtown Franklin. We had wood fires each nigh in the stone fireplace sang Christmas songs and could not have been happier with this place to stay. We all HIGHLY recommend it for your family and hope to come back. The host was incredibly gracious, attentive and responsive.

Our stay at DeerRidge was nothing short of exceptional. My wife and I were fortunate to host our small wedding ceremony here, and it couldn’t have been more magical. The property and land are breathtaking, perfectly maintained, serene, and surrounded by beautiful views that made our day even more special. The host’s hospitality was unmatched, truly the best we’ve experienced in all our travels. Every detail was handled thoughtfully, creating a seamless and memorable experience from start to finish.

Everything about Deer Ridge Lodge is exceptional ! It was the perfect place to meet our son's family for a mini vacation. The 7 of us had a delightful stay and we were fortunate to take in the Friday evening portion of Bluegrass on the Harpeth in the Center of Franklin. The teens had lots of fun in the game room and we took turns playing cornholes. My husband was a happy camper to be able to relax in the hot tub regardless of the hot weather. Sheryl and Steve are wonderful hosts and were quick to reply when we needed help to operate the hot tub. We highly recommend this wonderful VRBO The Snyders
