GratiDude Ranch is a rustic, timeless place and once you enter, get ready for a magical experience. Founded in 2014 and nestled on six acres in the Fernvale area of Leipers Fork outside of Franklin, TN., GratiDude Ranch offers a mini-farm B&B experience. GratiDude Ranch is also perfect for small events with a barn community gathering/venue event space, a petting zoo with 27 farm pets, and many special nooks to experience all that nature has to offer. A Carriage House and a Cottage on the property are available for overnight accommodations. Farm-to-table dinners are held monthly and are open to the community benefiting SAFE, a nonprofit housed on the ranch, serving foster children and foster parents in Middle Tennessee. GratiDude Lodge, formerly known as Lyric Springs Country Inn, is situated on 15 adjoining acres to GratiDude Ranch and is an additional wedding location available to guests. Used as a writers retreat and owned by songwriters and actors Ed and Patsy Bruce, this property catered to some of the greats including Johnny Cash. The lodge sleeps 12+ guests and offers a large dining room that seats 20 guests. There is also a saloon/billiard room and an inground salt water heated pool. ‘Creekside Guesthouse at GratiDude Lodge’ is a separate open-concept space that can be booked along with the lodge or separately and can sleep 6 additional guests. GratiDude Lodge offers a unique and special space for small group stays, events and weddings. Situated on the South Harpeth Creek with a gorgeous bluff location for weddings and special events, the peace and tranquility of this property is one of a kind.
