About this property

Beautiful Farmhouse On 180 Acre Farm on Caney Fork River ~ Natural Retreat!

This magnificent farmhouse has 5 bedrooms and 3 baths and is located on a 180 acre farm directly on the Caney Fork River. It is very isolated and the view from the wrap around porch is spectacular. See wildlife like deer, turkey and bald eagles. It has almost a half mile of river frontage for you to explore during your stay.

There is exceptional cell phone service on the farm that is strong enough for movie streaming if you have a hot spot!

I also have another home on the same property a mere 5 minute walk away if your group needs more space for additional guests. See my other rental close by on the same property at Vrbo # 850390..

Great getaway and better than the photos!

This was an excellent place for the 3 families that we had staying here. I was concerned the living areas would be too small based on the pictures online but the living room, dining room, and kitchen were all very spacious. This location is definitely off the beaten path and secluded, but you can get to Walmart in Carthage in just 15 minutes. We really enjoyed some great sunsets and afternoon storms over the field and the evening lightning bugs and deer were a hit with the kids. Make sure you bring your big spray though - we all had some tick encounters after doing some fishing at the river! Thank you for a relaxing time away from the hustle and bustle!

July 4th Family vacation

July 4 weekend 2025Our weekend began by arriving at this beautiful farmhouse, followed by the arrival of our family from Texas. We spent the days playing hard and sleeping even harder on the fourth. We floated on the Center Hill Lake. The Chicago Cubs beat the St. Louis Cardinals 1 to 0. The Houston Astros beat the LA Dodgers 18 to 1. The Bottoms gang are cubby fans and the Stockdales are Astro fans. Bring on the World Series!!! It’s been forever since we had our families together. Thank you for providing a home for all to grow in relationship and create beautiful lasting memories. May God keep us all safe today as we all travel home. I pray that your farmhouse blesses many many more families. Sissy was a gem! She was able to get us an awesome picture to share! Bless this property Lord bless those that care for it, and bless all who rest their heads here. Sincerely, The Bottoms and Stockdales

Family visit

This property was the perfect place for my family to visit, from the beautiful home with plenty of space for the 14 of us to sleep. To the laughter we shared around the bonfire, the quiet and peaceful mornings drinking our coffee in the rocking chairs watching all the wildlife on the property. We all came there to revisit our child hood memories our mother was born in Nashville, our great grandparents lived in Pleasant Shade,and our grand parents lived in the Cordell Hull home where we visited frequently. When I came across this place on VRBO, I knew this was the right place to stay. Thank you for the wonderful memories. We would love to return on a yearly annual trip. Everything was perfect.

Great Place for a Family Reunion!

We really enjoyed our stay here, the house was spacious and the kitchen table was so nice because it was so large. The only thing we would suggest, (but strongly suggest) is for the owner to install some sort of blinds or shades on the downstairs windows. There were none, and the sun come beating down through the windows in the afternoon, making it very difficult to sit at the dining room table and not be blinded by the setting sun. It would also provide a sense of privacy at night because there is another rental house on the property. That was the only complaint I heard from our group, otherwise it was a wonderful place to stay.

Grace and Generosity!

Our stay at Reason Ranch was idyllic. We counted at least 20 different trails and hikes on the property itself. Children, dogs, and adults were all thrilled. In the middle of our stay came the snowstorm that made a beautiful place even more stunning. Cozying by the fire every night, we never had a problem with heat, power, OR WIFI! But the owner and (for lack of a better term) property manager Terry checked on us nonetheless. Can't say enough about how gracious and generous they both were in ensuring our stay was restful and peaceful. THANK YOU! We will be back when we can swim, fish, and boat the river!

80th birthday party

Our family were so impressed by Reason Ranch !! They have a million dollar view with the river right out front ! The house is stunning.. we all asked if it's for sale. Mr. Reason is so easy to work with. We had family coming from NJ, Arizona, as well as different areas of Tennessee for my husband's 80th surprise bday party. He was able to help our kids get in before we arrived to set up some decorations, etc. I never had a problem connecting with Bill. His awesome gal who handlers the house was coming off a vacation herself when Bill asked if she could do the house a little earlier so we could check in to decorate. Well, Sissy got there right when she got home and had it done that night !! She goes above and beyond what's expected of her. Her husband is so sweet too. And the groundskeeper,Terry is great. If you want to know where to go or what to do, ask him !! The river was great. It was a family day well spent there on a very hot summer day. And seeing different animals, deer and even armadillo. So come to the Farmhouse and enjoy a wonderful experience. It houses a lot of people. We had 12 adults and six kids 5-12. Plenty of things to do and time went by too fast..Fingers crossed maybe we can get back soon. We felt more like thier family because they make you feel that way. They have a small cabin there as well. 😊 The "Gizzy's" from Cookeville TN

Much need military family reunion/ getaway

This is a great place for not just a family to come and have a great time, but three families who are friends because of the military. It was the same distance for all three families to drive, it was far away from the noise of the city and provided a relaxing getaway before my husband had to be shipped off. The kids had plenty of room to run and play as well as an arcade area for when the days were too hot or it was raining. The bunk beds were adorable and cute and we loved seeing all of them cuddle up next to each other while watching a movie. The front porch made me not want to leave just because I felt like I could sit there and rock until the days were over. It's not too far from anything as far as getting groceries or even going to a winery. We were also able to find a really neat pontoon that was cheap for All of us to enjoy a day on the lake. Not too far away. We will 100% be coming back again and hopefully this review will allow more families to utilize the home in the way that we did. Thank you Reason family!

Beautiful property with plenty of space to spread out!

We traveled from St. Louis for a wedding in Brush Creek with friends. Some of our other friends stayed at the second home on the property as well which made it even better. Very clean and beautifully decorated. Cozy and inviting. Unfortunately, the upstairs main bathroom’s bath/shower was out of service so it made getting ready a bit difficult but wasn’t a deal breaker. The host attempted to have a plumber out but it didn’t happen timely and the host was very apologetic. Definitely recommend this property.

Perfect for family gathering

We had a wonderful time staying on the Reason Ranch for our 1st ever "family mini-vacation" with our adult kids and grandkids. It was exactly what we were looking for with being secluded and enjoying nature. The owner has made it extremely easy to access the river with keeping the brush cut down. The grandkids had so much fun taking multiple trips to the river's edge each day. Unfortunately, for the few days we were there, the ability to fish was not very good due to TVA generating and the river moving too swiftly. No fishing but the kids loved the rock throwing and "leaf races"! The owner was easy to work with and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Home and property are absolutely beautiful and PERFECT FOR FAMILY GATHERINGS!

Noted that housekeeping could be improved. When we arrived, the marble counter tops had not been cleaned from previous guests, and inside refrigerator needed a good wiping with a clean wet dishcoth. The view would be spectacular if the dirty windows in the family room were washed. In spite of a few minor housekeeping issues, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Mr. Reason was wonderful to work with. The house was in excellent condition and well maintained. It was a most lovely place to stay. Highly recommend this property for family gatherings!
