Settle in to a lakeside retreat just outside Nashville, Tennessee
Imagine waking to the sight of a blue heron on the shoreline as the sun rises over the water. Enjoying coffee with your spouse with a full day of nothing planned before you. Space to breathe. Time to reconnect with God and one another. All in a rural setting but just 45 minutes from Nashville. Close enough to enjoy endless options for live music and far enough away to see stars in the night sky.
