Southall Farm & Inn
If your vision of the countryside beyond Nashville is all honky tonks, think twice. Southall epitomizes modern lakeside living, from its Nordic, clean-lined architecture slung along a lake to its Gwyneth Paltrow-worthy pursuits (yes, this is the spot to treat yourself to a medicinal herbal tea and honey ceremony.) The enormous guest rooms are both streamlined and fanciful, decorated as they are with sleek canopy beds and fairytale wallpapers. We love the 494 square foot Polk King for its Italian porcelain tile-lined bathroom and soaking tub, dreamy canopy bed and equally Instagrammable sofa upholstered in a rich floral motif. Bringing the fam? Consider a cottage; the Hillside cottage has two king bedrooms, gas fireplace in the spacious living room and a leafy patio ideal for sipping sweet tea at all hours. Either way, expect amenities galore, including rainfall showers, Bluetooth soundbars, double vanities and more.
A modernist 62-room, 16-cottage respite on 325 rolling acres with three locavore bars and restaurants, a heated outdoor pool and wellness-oriented spa—all on Lake Mishkin.
Boring. Guests can indulge in all manner of unexpected thrills on site for an additional fee, including an aerial adventure course with ziplines, an axe-throwing course, and beeswax candle making.
You want to explore your agrarian roots without actually buying the farm. Here, you can tour their apiary (home to some 4 million bees), 1,300-tree apple orchard, and flourishing fields at your leisure—without breaking a sweat.
After your lavender massage and vegan mani/pedi in the spa, you’re dying to hit the town—or, better, a buzzing boîte right on the premises. And the foraged menu at the hotel’s Sojourner restaurant, with its smoked trout dip and green gumbo with Southall greens and Carolina Gold Rice, is just the ticket.
