Rejuvenating Spa Day at Southall

As a local Tennessean and freshly postpartum mom, this was exactly the reset I needed. My husband booked me a spa day, and from the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed and cared for, even as a day guest. I loved breakfast and lunch at SOJOURNER, and the mineral pool was absolutely incredible. I highly recommend arriving early to enjoy the amenities before your service! My massage with Jackie was wonderful. She took the time to understand my needs and truly delivered. The entire experience felt so nourishing, from the hospitality to the food to the spa itself. Thank you to the Southall team for such a special day. I left feeling restored and cannot wait to be back soon!

I went to southall for my birthday this year. Booked a 90 minute custom massage with 30 minute head and food scrub add on and a face mask. Best resort experience I’ve had in a long time. (I’m comparing to old Edward and grove park). I didn’t open a single door. I asked for nothing. It was like they anticipated me. The steam room is wonderful. They also have a shower. The locker room area in general is so nice. They really think of anything. Toothbrushes. Shaving kits. Everything. The mineral waters are perfectly heated and have a retractable cover on them. It was a delight. I grabbed lunch at sojourner and it was fantastic (got the trout dip and a Caesar wrap). Staff is incredible. For the massage the table adjusts for bust and butt which is so important for a large chest person. I’ve never been offered this before. The whole experience was the definition of being pampered. Wow. Absolutely no notes. Nothing was wrong with the day. Everything was a total dream. This will be my new birthday tradition. I had to leave to make it to birthday dinner but next year I won’t be doing birthday dinner. I’ll be staying at the spa all day. Seriously 10/10 experience. Resorts are hard to find I. Nashville. I’m from Charlotte NC and I was so used to having spas around that you could spend the day at. We really do not have that here. southall is the answer to my prayers (yes they have been around but you did previously have to book a room). They’ve been on my list for years and man the wait was worth it!!!

My wife and I stayed here for a few nights on our Honkey Tonk Honeymoon tour and WOW we want to come back. From the moment we drove in, we only had exceptionally positive interactions with every single staff member that we had the pleasure to talk to. Seriously, whether it was Olivia debriefing our day with us passing in the hall or Isaiah giving an exclusive archery lesson, all the staff were so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the property and seemed to feel like what they were doing was exciting and worthwhile. Also gotta shout out Walker, Steve, Madison (bee girl!), and Kimberly. The excursions that you can participate in around SoutHall are amazing. My wife and I did archery, ax, throwing, a bee cruise, as well as our blissful spa day. Because we were there during the week, we didn’t get to experience a lot of the weekend activities like the bourbon tastings, etc., but oh well, just means we’ll have to come back. The food at the cafes/restaurants we had throughout our stay was outstanding. January, the nicer dining option is so worth it. We shared a beautiful ribeye, alongside beet salad that was presented with a literal cloud of some creme. Even breakfasts were stellar, and I think we both ate the best omelets of our lives. You’ll enjoy Southall more if you allow yourself to experience the scientific, preservationist, and intensely local aspect of it as a farm. Sure, there are a lot of resorts with great food, great accommodations etc, but the unique and cool part of southall is being able to be part of the process.

Let preface this with we love a good spa! My husband and I had a reservation for two/ TWO hour massages. It was my birthday gift and it was far from a gift. We booked separate rooms because he snores in a massage and we never get the same room. We had a reservation for 5:00 and the therapists took us back at 4:45. I questioned it and they said that was correct. They put us in the same room and I told them I specifically wanted two separate rooms. They told us we were having stone massages and cupping. I told them we might be in the wrong massages. After my therapist rushed on my back and there was a knock on the door and they both started talking to that person at the door, I realized they had the wrong people in the wrong room! They never said anything but I knew and I was upset for the rest of the massage and unable to relax. (Also my sweet hubby was snoring next to me) We have stayed at a lot of 5 star hotels and this is NOT one of them. They made no attempt to apologize or even offer a discount. It was 300/hour. Bad experience.....There are so many other wonderful places in the area. I never write reviews but I would hate it if another couple wasted their time and money on something that was supposed to be special and it was this bad:(

We had an incredible experience at Southall Farm & Inn! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the beauty of the property. The grounds are absolutely breathtaking—peaceful, luxurious, and surrounded by nature. Every detail has been thoughtfully designed, creating the perfect place to relax and unwind. We dined at the restaurants on the property, and both were outstanding. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented, and the service was warm, attentive, and welcoming. You can truly tell they take pride in providing an exceptional guest experience. Whether you're looking for a romantic getaway, a relaxing weekend, or simply a great place to enjoy an amazing meal, Southall is a hidden gem. We left feeling refreshed and can't wait to come back. Highly recommend this beautiful place to anyone visiting the Franklin area!
