The space
Welcome to Spirit Valley

Whether you're celebrating an anniversary, planning a weekend away, or simply craving a slower pace, Spirit Valley is a place to breathe deeply and reconnect with what matters most.

Nestled on our private 150-acre horse farm in the rolling hills of Middle Tennessee, this cozy retreat is thoughtfully prepared for couples and small families looking for more than just a place to stay. Here, mornings begin with coffee on the porch as horses graze nearby, afternoons invite you to explore wooded trails leading to our creek and hidden waterfall, and evenings end with a relaxing soak in the private covered hot tub.

One of the things guests love most about Spirit Valley is that the experience extends far beyond the lodge itself. Meet our friendly horses, Billy the goat, free-range chickens, farm cats, and playful farm dogs. If you're looking for an unforgettable adventure, optional guided horseback rides are available by reservation and have become a favorite memory for many of our guests.

Inside, we've tried to think of all the little things that make a getaway feel effortless. The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking together, the beds are designed for restful sleep, and you'll find thoughtful extras throughout the home to help you settle in and simply enjoy your time away.

This listing includes two beautifully appointed bedrooms, making it the perfect size for smaller groups while still giving you the privacy and comfort of the entire lodge. The remaining guest bedrooms are reserved for our larger group listing and will be unavailable during your stay. You're welcome to peek inside—we often leave the doors open with a note inviting you to explore them and keep them in mind for a future family getaway!

A Note About Pets

Because this is an active farm with free-range chickens, horses, farm dogs, cats, and abundant wildlife, we aren't able to accommodate guest pets. Thank you for helping us protect the animals that make Spirit Valley so special

Guest access
Guests have private access to the lodge, covered hot tub, parking area, and the surrounding grounds. You're also welcome to explore much of our 150-acre horse farm, including the walking trails, creek, and peaceful spring-fed waterfall.

Our family home is located elsewhere on the property, but the lodge is positioned to provide privacy and has its own dedicated outdoor spaces. Most guests tell us they feel like they have the farm to themselves while still appreciating that we're nearby if they need recommendations, assistance, or would like to book a horseback riding experience.

Because this is an active working farm, you may occasionally see us caring for the horses or other animals, but we always respect our guests' privacy.

Please note that a few areas, including our personal residence, barns, equipment areas, and fenced pastures, are reserved for farm operations unless you're participating in a scheduled experience with us.

Other things to note
Please take a moment to read through these notes before booking:

🐴 Horseback Riding Experiences
Private horseback rides are available by reservation and are one of our most popular experiences. If you'd like to ride during your stay, please contact us when you book so we can reserve a time for you. We often cannot accommodate last-minute or same-day requests.

🐓 This Is a Working Farm
You'll likely see horses, chickens, farm dogs, cats, and Billy the goat during your stay. Seeing us caring for the animals is part of everyday life here, but we always respect our guests' privacy.

🌿 Nature
Spirit Valley is a peaceful country property surrounded by woods, fields, and wildlife. Depending on the season, you may encounter insects, frogs, deer, wild turkeys, and other native wildlife—one of the many reasons guests love staying here. We provide bug spray and other thoughtful extras to help you enjoy the outdoors comfortably.

🚗 Rural Location
While you'll feel worlds away from the hustle and bustle, grocery stores, restaurants, and other conveniences are still just a short drive away, making it easy to enjoy both seclusion and convenience.

❤️ Relax and Unplug
Many of our guests tell us they leave feeling refreshed, reconnected, and already planning their next visit. We hope Spirit Valley becomes one of those special places for you, too.
