Who knew Ashland City was so great!

Coming in state to celebrate our son’s college graduation we wanted to be near Nashville but not in Nashville. This beautiful property hit the nail on the head! Room for all! Comfy beds and ample lounging areas also.Outdoor activities included yard games and a fire pit, which we fully enjoyed. 30 mins drive for all surrounding cities made it fun to venture out day and night. We found a fun dive bar in Ashland City called Main Street Hideaway aka Kings Bar. If you make it in please let the staff know Arizona says HI! Also, we dropped into a brewery nearby called Flytes Brewhouse. If that’s your thing stop in and try the peaches & cream. You won’t regret it! The owner offers so much passion and his hospitality is unmatched! If ever we return to the area, this is our forever choice for lodging!

The pictures really don't do this home justice! The house is beautiful, inside and out. We were so surprised that the owner left us snacks and flowers. It was a nice touch! We had plenty of space indoors and out to play games and to relax. We're already talking about our next trip!

Long weekend away from Ohio! 6 adults and 4 children (ages 6,9,11,13) We all enjoyed our weekend! Lots of fishing and wading in the creek. We had fires out in the yard and everyone was happy with the property! The enclosed front porch with a large swing and other furniture was enjoyed by all! Thank you for everything! Idle family!

Great Stay in a Beautiful Location

The images don't entirely do this place justice! It's a beautiful property with tons of room for a large group. Our party of 10 people fit easily - with beds for everyone. There was enough space for us all to visit and not feel crowded or on top of each other. The property was easy to find and in great shape. Highly recommend to any large group looking for a relaxing place to stay!

Perfect bit of country close to the city!

Our family came from a few different areas of the country to the Birdsong Lodge to vacation together for the first time since our parents/grandparents had passed. Family trips were a huge part of our lives and we wanted to make granny and papaw proud coming together, reminiscing on past trips, and just spend quality family time. This home was perfect for exactly that! The rooms were perfect for private family space, while the great room, porch, kitchen, and fire pit brought plenty of memorable moments! Thanks to Owen for your hospitality!
