Escape from the big city of Nashville just 30 minutes north to experience the small-town charm and unbeatable landscapes of Ashland City, Tennessee. Ashland City was created as the county seat of Cheatham County, and you can visit the courthouse to bask in architecture from the 1800s. Since 1856, the historical town has developed into a perfect weekend getaway where you can shop, eat, explore, and learn about local history. 

The city is nestled along the Cumberland River, so after a day of finding unique treasures in local boutiques, float the river as the afternoon heat settles in. Slow down and take in the scenery or pack a picnic. Annually, the town holds the Riverbluff Triathlon on the river for some friendly competition displaying athletic swimming, running, and biking skills.

You can expect a wonderful time at events like the River and Roots Festival, with live music, craft booths, river cruises, and kid activities.  Music on Main is where local bands play and display their new music. The event is family-friendly and a big hit. Summerfest is the highlight of the Ashland City summer, with live concerts nightly, vendor booths, dancing, delicious food, and fireworks over the water. Join the party as the whole city comes together to celebrate the summer and the beautiful atmosphere of the small town on the river.

Birdsong Lodge is the ideal wedding venue. The main lodge features a spacious great room with a stone fireplace, large windows, and vaulted ceilings. The lodge also includes a full kitchen and a wraparound porch with stunning views of the lake and surrounding countryside. The barn can be used for ceremonies or receptions and features wood finishes and an open floor plan. This venue is on a scenic 10-acre property, including a beautiful lake, rolling hills, and lush forests. The 1,000-square-foot cabin is a perfect honeymoon destination after the wedding extravaganza is over. The cabin includes a large hot tub overlooking the barn and pasture.

Enjoy southern cuisine at Mama D’s Home Cooking, inside Stone Bridge Books & Gifts. The flavors will surely hit the spot with a homemade breakfast or savory lunch. Try the killer pancakes for a fluffy taste of heaven, or for lunch, a local favorite, Mama D’s chili.

If you are ready for a long walk after filling up on breakfast, hike the historical 6.5-mile Cumberland River Bicentennial Trail. The path was once a railroad bed from Nashville to Clarksville until it was converted into a trail in 1992. Whether Fall or Summer, the views can take your breath away.
