Lyric Lodge & Inn at GratiDude Ranch - Leipers Fork

Lyric Lodge & Inn at GratiDude Ranch used to be known as Lyric Springs Country Inn and was a B&B owned by Patsy & Ed Bruce. Ed Bruce was a well-known song-writer and actor. He wrote "Mama don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys" and starred in the Western hit "Maverick". Country artists such a Johnny Cash have graced the Lodge and the same pool table that these stars used is sitting in the saloon today. Pretty cool, huh?!

The lodge layout is as follows:

*Creek View Suite (Sleeps 5): This upstairs private suite has a king bed as well as a bunk bed with a trundle twin bed. This suite has a private luxury bath with a gorgeous walk-in shower. Private sliding doors walk you out to the wraparound porch overlooking the creek with a private seating area to enjoy your morning coffee or evening whiskey.

*Pond View Suite (Sleeps 2) This upstairs private suite has a king bed that can be converted to two twins. This room also has a private bath. Private sliding doors walk you out to the wraparound porch overlooking the pond with a private sitting area to enjoy your morning coffee or evening whiskey.

*The Zen Suite (sleeps 2) This upstairs Suite has two twins that can convert to a king and has a bath that is just outside of the space in the hallway. This suite also includes a living room area with a fireplace and TV. There is a private entrance to the Zen Suite that also walks out to the salt water in-ground pool.

*The Saloon (Sleeps 2) This downstairs room is set up as an actual Saloon with a bar (we do not provide alcohol but feel free to bring your own). It also has a pool table. A Murphy bed in the saloon can sleep 2. It has a half bath. Guests can use the shower upstairs in the foyer shared by The Zen Suite.

* The Wraparound Porch (sleeps 2) There are two twin swing beds that can sleep two additional guests depending on the time of year and weather restrictions.

The Inn layout is as follows:
*Private Master Suite (sleeps 2) The Master Suite has a king bed with a private full bath. It also has its own side porch overlooking the pond and our fountain.
*The Creek Side Bedroom (sleeps 2) This bedroom has two twin beds and a closet. It shares a full bath with the Terrace Room.
*The Terrace Room (sleeps 2) This bedroom has two twin beds and a large walk-in closet. It has sliding doors leading out to our terrace patio space which is a common area. This bedroom shares a full bath with the Creekside Room

There is a fully stocked gourmet chef kitchen available to guests and a dining room that can seat up to 20 guests.

The Inn has an additional living room and kitchenette.

Guests also have access to a laundry room.

In addition to the Lodge & Inn, a creekside guesthouse quarters can be booked separately and can sleep an additional four to five additional guests. If guests renting the Lodge & Inn prefer having the entire property to themselves, we would recommend renting the guesthouse. Otherwise, it could be rented by another party during your stay. The guesthouse can also be set up as a meeting space for workshops, presentations, yoga, etc. It has an 82" flat screen TV that can also be used for Multi-Media presentations.

For larger groups or weddings, there is additional lodging and event space. Please contact us for more details.

Private, religious or corporate group gathering are welcome.

We have 25 farm pets on the ranch. Guests are welcome to visit the animals during their stay by appointment.

We also host MONTHLY Farm-to-Table dinners and Hillbilly Clue Murder Mystery Dinners at GratiDude Ranch throughout the year. Please inquire if a dinner event is happening during your stay. They are pretty awesome events and if you're staying over an event weekend, you don't want to miss out!

If an event is not happening during your stay, private farm-to-table dinners are available to guests by request and our chef's availability. Please contact us for more info.

Annual family vacation
We had a large family group at Lyric Lodge for a week. The property, including the home itself, pool, and all the rest was just what we needed. The kitchen was stocked with plenty of dishes, glassware, silverware and everything we needed for cooking like pots, pans, baking sheets, etc. We thoroughly enjoyed the long table with enough chairs (and then some) to accommodate our entire group at mealtimes. It was also perfect for puzzles, card games, board games, and bracelet making by the kids. We made s'mores around the fire pit one evening. The kids also had fun in the shallow creek and feeding the animals nearby. A Publix as well as Wal-Mart were within an easy drive. We also made it to nearby Leiper's Fork and Franklin. All in all, a great family getaway the whole group highly recommends.

We treasured the time together as an extended family and this house had so many outdoor gathering spaces! Every room was so comfortable and well done! We enjoyed all of the amenities - with the pool, pond, creek and hiking trails there was no need to go anywhere else for fun! The kitchen was well stocked to prepare all of our meals and we appreciated the good supply of towels. The dining area was such a great place to celebrate and be together:)

Exceeded expectations
This property and the owners exceeded our expectations! The house was beautiful, well maintained, extremely well stocked, and the layout was perfect for a large family gathering. The openness of the kitchen area was so nice, and the separateness of the sleeping areas was even better! The layout made it easy for younger kids to go to bed without being disturbed by older kids and adults. The pool area was large, spacious, and pretty. We loved the salt water pool (so much better than chlorine!). There was plenty of outdoor furniture for everyone and so many unique spaces for people to gather: pool area, upper porch with swings and chairs, brick patio with fire table, and even the creek just across the street had Adirondack chairs and a fire pit. The kids loved playing in the shallow cool water everyday and it was almost always shaded. The communication with Jason, the property owner, was quick and easy. He responded promptly and was always friendly and easy to work with. We scheduled time to visit his gorgeous farm area with many different animals, which was just a short 5 minute walk away. If you stay here, you must located the book that the owners made that shows the whole renovation process of the home. It was so cool to see how it started off and all the work and details they put into the property to make it as beautiful as it is. The thought and consideration put into this home is apparent throughout.

Fantastic property
We had a family reunion and the property was superb! Very clean, well stocked with kitchen utensils, pots, pans, etc! Beds were very comfortable and plenty of pillows to choose from! Plenty of bath towels, wash rags and even had pool towels! Did I mention the pool was super clean, clear and heated?! Casual space with table and chairs along the creek made a great gathering place as well as a wonderful creek for the kids to play in! Owners or rather host, were very accommodating and ask us to text or call with any questions or request! Even took it upon themselves to invite us to bring the kids up to the animal petting area! Don’t know if anything that would have made it any better, unless they cooked our meals! Oh, by the way, they can invite you to a farm to table dinner! Thanks for providing us with a wonderful setting for our family reunion!

Fantastic Family Reunion or Vacation Property
We stayed here between Christmas and New Years with our four children and five grand-sons. Everything was perfect! There was plenty of room (both inside and out) for the kids to play without risk of breaking anything; we began most days with a short walk to visit and feed the farm animals; followed by fishing in the pond; then late afternoon bonfire, games and rock-throwing down by the creek. And after the little ones went to bed it was time for our evening pool tournament in the saloon with a nice fire on the adjoining patio. I also want to say that this is the best equipped property I’ve ever stayed at for meal prep. They had everything we needed to prep/serve 3 meals a day for eleven people. I highly recommend this property and will likely return sometime when it’s warm enough to take advantage of the swimming pool.

Great Family Location
My wife and I took our children and their families to Gratidude Lodge and Inn and had a great time. There was plenty of space for each family to spread out and relax and plenty of space to have meals together and play games. We enjoyed the beautiful lodge and property, especially the pool. The kids also loved seeing and feeding the animals at the ranch. This was a great location for easy trips into Franklin.

Already planning next year
My friends and I had an amazing time at the GratiDude Lodge. The place was spotless, the property was beautiful and the pool was amazing. I echo prior reviews and recommend you rent the guest house as well if you want the property to yourself... we did. The guest house works great as an additional living room space and it's very close to the lodge. Jason and DeMarco were so friendly and responded to everything quickly. Such a cool spot, we're already talking about coming back next year.

Hidden Treasure
The property is very spacious, updated and clean. All the rooms are huge with new, comfortable mattresses and pillows. The saltwater pool is great and immaculately maintained. The owners were great at responding to questions and were very polite. They were very easy to get a hold of and accommodating. Especially to the kids when they let us come out to see the animals at the petting zoo. The property sits about 20 minutes from the nearest grocery store, so be sure to stock up to save yourself multiple trips to and from. Only blip of the stay is the wifi and cellular connection in the area is tough and not reliable. The owners provide a landline which helps a ton for calling out and conference calls, but only reliable wifi spot on your laptop is the saloon/game room. Will definitely look into renting again if the owners feel the same! Thank you again for allowing us to use your family friendly property.

Great Getaway
We had a fantastic getaway for 2 weeks hanging out by the creek and then by the pool all day. It was a great change of pace from Chicago. We were the first family to stay there since they had remodeled and a few things were still being fixed, but once those were addressed, everything was great. Internet and cell service isn't the best which wasn't a big deal but we did have work so I would use the land line for conference calls. The creek across the street was a great place for the kids to explore and once the day warmed up they were in the pool the rest of the day. If you want it to just be your family on the property, I would rent the entire main house, and then the small coach house as well. We will be back again and bringing family.
