Care for each ingredient featured at the farm allows for exceptional cuisine and Southall’s culinary program. Southall’s signature restaurant, Mary Amelia, plans to open in the next few weeks to serve diverse dishes showcasing the journeys of each ingredient found on the farm. Guests of Southall can also indulge in wellness treatments at the natural ingredient-driven spa. Offering a full range of ancient healing therapies and modern treatments, the spa’s eight treatment rooms and two suites for couples provide an extensive spa experience for all.

The surrounding land boasts more than 5 miles of hiking, biking and running trails through old-growth forests. Southall invites guests to engage with the environment through activities like fishing, canoeing, kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding on the seven-acre Lake Mishkin. A full-service activity outfitter offers rentals for canoes, kayaks, paddle boards, fishing gear, mountain bikes and more.

 

Live music by some of Nashville’s favorite bands will make appearances at Southall, as well as behind-the-scenes opportunities to know more about the region, with activities like plein-air painting with native artists to found-object woodworking.
