Minutes from Franklin and Leipers Fork. Surrounded by Nature. Large wrap-around porch with old-time rocking chairs. Outside hottub ($100 set-up) has amazing sunset views. Hiking trails outside your door. Walk down hill to Lake Gratitude fro fishing and paddling. Organic farm tours with animals! THE BASE PRICE IS FOR SIX (6) PERSONS. There is a $50/person/night additional charge for the number of persons over six. The Space: The Log House is a quaint and charming cabin located in the Big East Fork Valley nature preserve. The house has two large bedrooms upstairs (both with private bathrooms) and two bedrooms downstairs which share a bathroom. The living room, kitchen, and dining room are on the ground floor. Outside, there is a gorgeous old wraparound porch with rockers and a beautiful view of the woods. All occupants are required to write something, anything! Guest Access: Guest has access to the entire house except basement. All registered guest may visit Lake Gratitude and, by appointment, use watercraft provided by staff of the non-profit just down the hill.. Canoes, kayak, paddleboards, paddle boats, oars, lifejackets, and even bicycles are available (appointment required). For those hankering for an authentic country experience, we have four 300 gallon mobile stock tank pools which can be filled with sweet spring water. Pools can be set up at any property as well as at the Overlook or a private pasture/forest clearing. The Big East Fork Valley is a unique watershed and there are several unique areas for dipping in the natural waters of our Creek. Love Shack Falls runs best after a good rain. The upstream dipping hole is located along the Upper Creek Trail behind Lake Gratitude and the downstream dipping hole is a short walk away. Several sparse rocky beaches for sunning and catching crawfish, small fish, and other creek critter lie along the creek. Poisonous critters (water moccassins, cottonmouths, bees and wasps) and obnoxious plants (poison ivy, thorny, greenbriars) are present so do take necessary percautions. Walking along the creek is a very special experience for a couple or the entire family. Bring your creek shoes! The Neighborhood: This lodging is part of the Fork Inn, which lies at the beginning of a pristine creek within a gorgeous valley. All Fork Inn guests may walk around Lake Gratitude, explore miles of hiking trails and creek, and use our stock-tank pools at the farm shelter. Enjoy biking, hiking, canoeing, massage, yoga and more!

We are located 20 miles from downtown Nashville, 8 miles from historic Franklin (old time Main Street, fancy restaurants, boutique shopping), 7 miles from Leiper's Fork (Distillery tours, Fox & Locke Live Music - don't miss Thursday night's open mic) and light years away from the stress of city life. The Fork Inn is part of a 2000-acre Conservation easement and features a 8-acre lake, miles of creek, and many meadows and hiking trails.
