Romantic Weekend Escapes Near Nashville, Tennessee

If you're looking for a romantic weekend escape near Nashville, look no further than a Bed and Breakfast in the beautiful Tennessee countryside. There are several places to escape for the weekend and all will be well worth the drive.

One such place is a true country getaway in the little town of Gordonsville which is about a 50 minute drive from Nashville. Taking a country drive in Tennessee can be a relaxing escape on its own, but when there is a destination as beautiful as this first Bed and Breakfast, the most difficult part might be leaving.

Butterfly Hollow:

Butterfly Hollow is a Bed and Breakfast hidden in an 85-acre valley in the Cumberland Plateau foothills of middle Tennessee. It is close enough to be convenient to Nashville but this is a genuine escape from anything even resembling a city. Butterfly Hollow is the perfect romantic springtime retreat in a natural sanctuary.

The caretakers of this beautiful land strive to be ecology conscious with gardens providing organic vegetables and herbs for the meals served at the Bed and Breakfast. They also have organic soaps and lotions for the guests. This weekend escape will be to a 1899 farmhouse which has been completely renovated, but with the woodsy feeling of a lodge. The owners used timber and stone from the land, along with reclaimed antique lumber. There are only two private rooms for guests in the upstairs portion of the home, each with a private bath.

Butterfly Hollow is a true romantic getaway in the country with an informal, rustic and relaxed atmosphere. This is not a typical commercialized type of B & B. This place is an honest country escape with a natural beauty that is Tennessee at its finest. The place is small and intimate, so the owners can cater to their guests with special touches.

This romantic rural retreat has several packages to choose from including Rest and Relaxation Retreat, Romantic Getaway, and Anniversary and Vow Renewal. Butterfly Hollow also has several wedding packages where wedding pictures can be taken anywhere the guests choose on the gorgeous flower garden and butterfly filled landscape.

The property is aptly named for the thousands of butterflies that inhabit the land during the warm months. The website at Butterfly Hollow will give a glimpse into the awe-inspiring beauty of this romantic retreat. The beautiful photography captures the imagination and you can almost smell the flowers and fresh air.
