Best Staycation in Nashville 2026: The Grove at Whites Creek
The Grove at Whites Creek is the reopened inn near Barbara Mandrell’s former Fontanel mansion, which is 9 miles from downtown Nashville but feels worlds away. These finely appointed (and pet-friendly!) cottages offer an opportunity to disconnect — you can walk, run or bike on greenway trails that are right outside the door. (Yes, you can borrow a supplied bike.) Other rejuvenating perks include yoga classes, soaking bathtubs and the new Ember & Oak restaurant, or you can just sip a coffee and watch the golden-hour skies while listening to the frogs croak. You’ll still be home in time for your commitments, no road trip required.
