About this property
Entire place
Whimsical Gatehouse / Private Porch / Kitchenette
property offers a one-of-a-kind experience. A perfect setting for friends and families to
unplug and reconnect.
This residence can accommodate four overnight guests. The Gatehouse features a
queen bed, day bed and a loft bed. It boasts a fully equipped kitchen, private bathroom
and a huge, covered porch looking out over the countryside. The Gatehouse is
exclusively yours and can be accessed with an outside entrance. This romantic one-of-
a-kind get-away will exceed your expectations.
Your Property
Dark Horse Estate is gracefully set in the rolling hills of Tennessee, just 5 miles north
from Franklin’s historic town square and 25 minutes from downtown Nashville. Beautiful
sunsets and lush mystic landscapes make this private sanctuary an exclusive destination. As you stroll down to the river, you’ll find yourself breathing more deeply as though you’ve been transported to a simpler time.
Guest Access
You’ll be staying on the first level of a 9000 sq. ft. hand crafted post and beam structure
housing three recording studios which have become home to many of the most
celebrated artists in the world. Shawn Mendes, Taylor Swift, Keith Urban, Alice in
Chains, Tim McGraw, Korn, Matchbox 20, Carrie Underwood, and Neil Diamond are
just a few of the artists who frequent Dark Horse estate. In fact, you’ll be sleeping in the
same bed as many of your favorite stars. So… during your stay, you’ll find yourself
among very good company!
You will have access to the lower kitchen just down the hall as well as the entire
grounds. Tours of the studios are available almost every day based on the recording
schedules. Whether you’re in town on business, a vacationer seeking an unforgettable
experience, or a platinum selling artist working on your next hit, The Gatehouse is the
perfect destination for your secluded getaway.
Interaction with Guests
At Dark Horse Estate your privacy is top priority. Having said that, you might bump into
other guests as you explore the grounds. Every day is different with activity such as film
shoots, interviews and, of course, recording sessions. Sometimes you may be able to
hear "the creative process" from these sessions inside the apartment. And while late night and early morning sessions are rare, (you know musicians)... it does happen
occasionally. Please read our reviews and you’ll see that our guests are delighted with
both the atmosphere and privacy.
Other details to note
Note: Once again please know that the Bunkhouse is located on the first level of our
9,000 sq. ft. (three level) studio building. During some private recording sessions,
certain areas of the studio building may be closed off to guests.
