Amazing Cabin - 10 Minutes north of Nashville

The cabin offered endless activities! A very quiet and secluded experience but still close enough to get out and explore Nashville and the surrounding area. We went in March before the pool was open but will be back during pool season.

Your Own Private Resort

What an incredible place! Private, but close to downtown Nashville. Loved the pool/hot tub/cabana, incredible for entertaining! We really enjoyed the video game room and the casino games, felt like Vegas. Everything was accurate in the listing and pictures do a good job of representing. Kitchen is well stocked and had everyone needed. The only thing that should have been disclosed is that one of the owners lives on site, not an issue nor was it intrusive, but we were surprised not knowing. Would definitely stay again.

Bookmarking as a Favorite!

What a fantastic stay we had at the Back Porch Lodge!!! The ambience of the cabin was perfect for what we envisioned for a long weekend in Nashville - well appointed (maybe add a mixing bowl and a baking sheet for those of us who like to cook up a Southern breakfast!), clean, and spacious! The pool and hot tub were pristine and huge - large enough for our entire party to splash around or soak. Our college and teen kids loved the volleyball net and pool floaties, while the adults enjoyed the super cute cabana for lounging. The property was spacious and the fairy lights strung along the wooded path to the creek are a perfect addition. We enjoyed a late night fire pit with smores, and let's not forget the party barn! Every party game imaginable and a huge hit for the kids and kids at heart. We loved our visit and are already planning a return. Huge thank you, Austin and Dave, for your hospitality and for sharing such an amazing place with us!

Review

The patio door was very difficult to open. There is also a mouse problem, we had them in our chip bag, which was pretty gross. It’s a beautiful property. We enjoyed the game room, pool and hot tub.

Great place plenty to do

Really cool place to stay especially if you like being away from all the downtown stuff. Owners are great people and constantly like to hear feedback about things they can change to make things better as well.

First Nashville Trip

The cabin didn’t look much like the pictures. Much smaller and more compact. The mattresses were extremely hard on every bed. We were very disappointed that there were no TV’s in any of the bedrooms. We met Austin who lived in the game room area of the property. He walked to the cabin where we were at least twice to pick up Amazon packages that were left at the door. We met him on the day of our arrival and that was it. We had to ask what the code was for the game room in the barn. Good thing he was there. No heat in the game room so it was almost impossible to play in there when it was 30 degrees outside. I asked Austin about firewood for the indoor fireplace. He said the only wood they had was under 7 inches of snow. Of course the wood was wet and wouldn’t but. We had to go to a local hardware store and spend about 100 bucks on firewood. The hot tub was the best part of the property. The snow made the place beautiful outside. Overall I was disappointed.

A Tranquil Escape close to Nashville

Our recent stay in this Nashville cabin was an absolute delight. Tucked away in a serene location, the rustic charm of the cabin provided a perfect escape from city life. Upon entering, the cozy interior and tasteful decor immediately set a welcoming tone. The cabin was decorated so cute for the Christmas holiday. The fully-equipped kitchen and comfortable living space made for a seamless blend of modern convenience and rustic elegance. The basement was setup for games and the garage too! Plenty to do for adults and kids. The outdoor deck became a favorite spot, providing a picturesque setting to enjoy both morning coffee and evening stargazing. The hosting was exceptional, with thoughtful recommendations enhancing the overall experience. In summary, this beautiful cabin in Nashville exceeded expectations, offering a perfect balance of comfort and natural beauty. I highly recommend it for a refreshing and memorable getaway with friends or family.
