Property Overview

Southall is a working farm and full-service resort where the rhythms of the land, surrounding nature, and cycles of nature shape everything from the dining menu to the spa treatments. The property's sixty-two guestrooms and suites, along with sixteen separate cottages, take their cues from the surrounding landscape. Activities range from hands-on farming and educational experiences to outdoor adventure, all with the unhurried pace that comes with being in a rural, Tennessee setting that feels a world away from nearby Nashville.

Agent Tips

  • Dottie's Speakeasy hosts live music and keeps both a guitar and piano on hand, so don't be shy about sitting down to play.
  • With over seven million honeybees on the property, make sure to connect with the farm's beekeeper programs, such as the Tequila and Honey Tasting.
Accommodations

Inn rooms and hillside cottages shaped by the Tennessee landscape.

The unspoiled natural beauty of Tennessee isn't merely outdoors at Southall; it's reflected inside as well. The spacious guestrooms and suites feature views of the countryside, plenty of natural light, modern furnishings, and plenty of other perks such as smart climate controls and entertainment options. Rooms are located in the main inn, and free-standing one- and two-bedroom cottages are nestled in the private hillsides with views of the lake and natural surroundings.
Pool + Gym

A seasonal outdoor pool and a year-round mineral pool.

Southall has two pool options. The outdoor pool is open seasonally, with small bites and craft cocktails on hand for a day of leisure. For year-round swimming, the mineral pool on The Spa patio is available whatever the season. The gym at Southall is well-equipped for keeping up a regular routine, with morning yoga, Pilates, and sound bath meditation classes rounding out the offering.
Spa

Treatments rooted in the land.

The Spa at Southall draws directly from the farm, with treatments built around botanicals and natural ingredients grown and sourced on the property, rooted in a mix of ancient techniques and modern therapies. The facility itself is well-appointed: eight treatment rooms, two suites, a steam room, sauna, and relaxation lounge, plus an outdoor mineral pool overlooking Lake Mishkin and a medicinal herb garden. After your treatment, salads, smoothies, and fresh juices can be enjoyed beside Lucas Garden, surrounded by fragrant herbs and blooms.
Restaurant + Bar

The region's freshest, seasonal fare.

At Southall, there are two distinct dining personalities, but both with a strong focus on fresh, seasonal fare, honoring the bounty of ingredients on offer in the surrounding region. Sojourner offers casual farm-to-table dining with ingredients grown steps from the kitchen. January, the signature restaurant, takes a more refined approach, sourcing from Southall's own farms and nearby purveyors, open for dinner Wednesday through Sunday. In-room dining is just as great; particularly the fresh egg dishes and fruit and vegetable smoothies.

The bar at Southall is an intimate space built around seasonal signature cocktails, most ingredients drawn straight from the gardens, alongside an expansive wine cellar and a well-curated selection of bourbon and whiskey.
  • Vibe
    Refined, modern, and sophisticated, but with the down-to-earth feel of a working farm.
  • Who's it for?
    Southall draws a wide range of visitors, including wellness travelers, foodies, families marking a milestone, and corporate groups. The farm-to-table ethos runs deep enough to satisfy the genuinely curious, with ingredients grown on-site or sourced from local purveyors minutes away. For those who want to be more active, hiking, biking, fishing, yoga, and sound bath meditation are all on offer. It also is well-suited for weddings, multi-generational family trips, and senior-level corporate retreats.
  • Location
    Southall sits on 325 acres in Franklin, Tennessee, a quintessential Southern town thirty-five miles south of Nashville. Downtown Franklin, with its local dining, live music, boutique shops, and history, is ten minutes away.
