Paradise for sure

This property was what I pictured when staying in Tennessee. A gorgeous modern chalet on the hillside looking over a hill woodland view with a large horse pasture looking at beautiful horses. It is a nice get away from the city life and this place had all the comforts of home. From the furniture, appliances, and decor, this place made it a comfortable home away from home. I would definitely be back here again to enjoy this place again. Loved everything about it!

We were absolutely blown away by the house and surrounding property. It exceeded our expectations! Having a beautiful Christmas tree setup and a plate of cookies left out for us was an added bonus. My wife, 10 yr old son, 16 and 25 yr old daughters and I had a fantastic time. We were comfortable and made to feel at home.

Great Place!

My stay was absolutely amazing! The house was beautiful. Perfect place for a family stay or a mid-size group of people. The house looks exactly like the pictures. The only downside is that it is a bit far from Nashville if you plan on visiting the city during your stay. Other than that, it was perfect! I highly recommend!!!

SUPERB!

Our stay was amazing! The host was wonderful. The owners put a lot of thought and hard work in to making this place outstanding and they hit the mark!! They left us fresh baked bread and cookies.The property was pristine and beautiful, and the chalet was beyond immaculate and stunning. Everything we could have possibly wanted or needed they provided for our stay. If you pass up this listing you are missing out.. and if you decide to stay there please take care of it so when we go back it will be the same! We couldnt wait to check out Nashville but we enjoyed the chalet so much we barely dis anything in Nash.The pictures online do this place no justice.. you must see this in person to appreciate the detail and beauty. Thanks for sharing your place with us!!

Fabulous Gem

This property was just absolutely perfect for our family. We loved the attention to details from the games to the trails/hikes, exploring the stream, closeness to everthing while still being surrounded by nature. Our host was great to communicate with too. The only negative was that the week went by too quickly. Thank you so much!!

Castle in the sky

The knotty and nice chalet was even better than I imagined. It truly felt like a castle in the sky from the minute we pulled in. The house was very clean and well stocked for everything you would need for your stay. The details and design of the entire house were impeccable. It’s just like you see in the pictures! The views out the windows truly were breathtaking. We loved the outdoor covered patio where we spent a lot of family time relaxing and enjoying the sounds of nature while not having to worry about swatting bugs away. I loved listening to the sounds of the birds and bullfrogs at night. Make sure you take a walk and enjoy the entire property including the events center, as it’s just gorgeous. If you have children, they will love the treehouse. Even us adults loved it, and yes, we went down the slide. We already can’t wait to come back and enjoy the property. This was our first visit to Nashville and it won’t be our last!

About the host

Hosted by Sharolyn Snyder

Host profile image
Originally, this land was hunting grounds for several Indian tribes, then later became a 700 acre working farm. We purchased adjoining property in 1993, and by 1998, we created a horse riding facility that has become a blessing to the special needs community offering encouragement, activity and confidence. In 2005 we purchased this property and built the chalet in 2022 so other people can enjoy the tranquil, picturesque property.

Why they chose this property

This chalet is located on a bluff overlooking a horse pasture, Carr Creek and the forest on the hills on the other side of the creek. There are over 5 miles of trails around the property to enjoy a peaceful walk. Carr Creek usually only runs a few inches deep, so you can wade across it and explore the trails and meadows on the other side of the creek. There is a treehouse close to the chalet for the kids to enjoy and there is a garden area and pond near the Event Center located on the property.

What makes this property unique

The Knotty & Nice Chalet provides a great place to stay when visiting Nashville that is only 35 minutes from downtown Nashville and all of the country music it provides. There are some great local eateries in Springfield and Greenbrier. While being in the country it is only 4 miles to Krogers so convenient to buy groceries and anything you may need.

The chalet is a part of Paradise Ranch & Retreat which includes an Event Center for weddings and parties as well as Caspian Cottage which is a log cabin on another bluff overlooking Carr Creek. Visit us on ParadiseRanchandRetreatTN.com for more information.
