What to do in a luxury farm resort - and how does one look like

What to do in a luxury farm resort - and how does one look like

Not far away from the adorable small town of Franklin, in the rolling cliffs of Middle Tennessee, one can find a brand new farm-focused luxury resort. It's surrounded by ancient forests and scenic pastoral landscapes on 325 acres. The lodge is a goal in itself, offering guests the chance to explore the area's farming traditions, regional savors, and wild beauty via farm-to-table eating, an expansive menu of attractions, and a contemporary spa.

At the very core of the property, The Inn presents 62 guest rooms and suites. Moreover, there are multiple cottages snuggled in the rolling hills watching the estate. All spaces have large tubs and local paintings, and some of the rooms come with their own fireplace. Arbor Cottages have an exclusive tree cottage touch with a big porch. This is the perfect place for enjoying hot apple cider and admiring the view. You can choose from one- and two-bedroom cottages with outdoor seating and generous space for laying out.

The resort provides an elegant take on the farm aesthetic with a modern exterior. It was designed by 906 Studio Architects, meanwhile, the interiors were designed by IndiDesign with wood-burning fireplaces, visible wood beams, a lot of windows for natural light, and magical woodland touches.

Here, you can find the Sojourner and Mary Amelia restaurants, the Spa at Southall, and as well the farm. Southall flatters itself on selecting an authentic food experience, with tours and courses circling around the ground. Even though the resort has just opened to visitors, the team has already been working for years. Because cultivating crops and creating a sustainable farm takes time. This way, guests have fresh produce and unique heirloom varieties that you won't see at the farmers' market. The restaurants serve seasonal dishes.

What's more, there is a 2,000-tree apple orchard, hydroponic and traditional conservatories, terraced gardens, large-format gardens, a seed-saving schedule, and lots of land for foraging wild fruits and plants. They have their own bees that help pollinate the farm and deliver delicious honey, used for dishes at the restaurants. The Jammery is a certified kitchen where produce is preserved, pickled, and jammed to expand the harvest and add more regional flavor to the feasts offered at the restaurants. You can also make farm tours, attend cooking demonstrations, taste honey, pick apples, or learn how to garden. Briefly, you will experience nature in all its greatness and beauty in awesome ways.

If you spend a day at the farm, see the resident bees, and trek the hills, your experience can be full when you also taste the culinary dishes signed by chef Andrew Klamar. Every morning, enjoy fresh egg dishes served with country ham, homemade pastries, and apple pancakes. Sip cocktails inspired by regional flavors, and taste various dishes from veggie-focused to meat based. Mary Amelia is the autograph restaurant, serving a multicourse menu that celebrates farm-grown ingredients.

Besides the food, you can find momentous experiences and wellness offerings for wonderfully comfortable and luxurious getaways. The spa offers ingredient-focused therapies using products from eco labels and you can also explore a beautiful outdoor leisure space with a heated pool and lounges watching over Lake Mishkin. The spa even contains a sauna, a steam room, and two peace rooms. Plus, there's the Lennon Poppy Salon if you want your hair, nails, and makeup done.

Additional on-site adventures go from thrilling activities like falconry, mountain biking, and a ropes to peaceful ones like sound bath meditation, and yoga. And these are not the only ones. There are more specific ones too like learning about the world of bees, their impact on the ecosystem, and what lessons you can understand from them. Moreover, the two pools, a scenic hilltop, and water sports like fishing and kayaking add value to the customized romantic experience.

While you probably won’t run out of what to do at the resort, the busy popular bars and boutiques in Nashville are just at a stone's throw away, if you want to drive a little bit or if you fancy visiting another charming small town like Franklin: for instagram stories and photos this is absolutely gorgeos. Just make sure you book your stay in advance!
