Lush green gardens, and a nice inside with exposed beams and classic wood flooring make for a simple and rustic venue. There's a porch area complete with bench seating and ceiling fans with lighting that are great for a summer or spring day that fades into a lovely sunset for an evening of fun. Ample street parking is available for guests. My only gripe would be the occasional roar of traffic or passing semi trucks on the nearby interstate during an intimate outdoor ceremony. However, its not enough to dock this place a full star. Although I didn't get to see it I do know that there is an upstairs room available as well. Great venue all around.

The last night there I decided to read through it, thinking to myself that we needed to make another trip through Tennessee to hit all of these cool places. Some we have already been to, but wouldn't mind going again. My husband being a HUGE Johnny Cash fan, I suggested we make a detour on our way home, just to fit Storytellers Hideaway Farm in. We were NOT disappointed. We both thoroughly enjoyed the tour of the house and the barn with all sorts of memorabilia. The highlight of the experience was the music and camaraderie with Johnny Cash's nephew, Mark Alan Cash. We could sit there and listen to him all day. We loved listening to the stories from his personal experiences with his uncle. If we ever get the chance to come back through here, we definitely will.

This entire experience was just awesome. First thing to note - they open at 10AM which is one of…read morethe earliest I could find. I wanted to go before the church crowd let out. You pull up and there is ample parking right outside the farm. We were greeted by one of the Wilson's children (added that nice family feel) where we purchased admission. $10- they take cash, card and Venmo. From there you have fresh kettle corn being cooked and bagged, and a nice size area to purchase pumpkins and other goodies. You can hop on the tractor and take a ride around some of the property or they also had a little 'train' for the kids - super cute. The corn maze is straight back from the entrance - it's huge and you can get lost - take note of the aerial photo at the entrance . When you come out, if you start to head back where you came, you'll see a wildflower path up ahead, was a nice stroll up through there, and wraps you back around to another pumpkin patch. That's where the 'action' takes place... cannon and slingshot action! Here you can pay for a slingshot or cannon experience; we did both. Slingshot was fun, mini pumpkins - $1 for 2 shots and you totally get that 'pull back far far far sitting on the ground experience' - loved it! The cannon - well- I loved the power in between my hands!! That sucker shot a NICE distance. This was $2/shot or $5 for 3. Well worth it!!! We didn't carry cash on us, so after grabbing a wagon/cart up front (there a few to use - or bring your own!) we grabbed a variety of pumpkins in the field - ghost, green, orange, etc... then we ended up paying for the cannon experience when we purchased the pumpkins. Things to note: Bathrooms on site, cards accepted, pumpkin patch, kettle corn, tractor rides, cannon and slingshot, corn maze, 'train' for the kids. I spotted some fire pits, might be able to use those as well, just ask! We spoke with Lynn (Mrs. Wilson) and learned all about the farm. She and her family really put their heart into this and you can tell. This farm has been in Mr. Wilson's family since the 1800s!!

This well-preserved historic setting is a "gracious host" for such special events. Yet I must say at the outset that an otherwise beautiful evening of skillfully prepared food paired with exceptionally fine wines was tarnished somewhat by the actual venue itself. The stark, undecorated bare brick walls served to act as reverberating amplifiers of the happy, albeit slightly raucous crowd of 64 diners. For me, the din of diners' conversations, punctuated by squeals and cackles of laughter simply stifled any polite conversation save for that with the dinner guest on my immediate right. (I was at the end of a table so there was no one on my immediate left.) And to converse with the normally delightful friend seated across from me, I had to either lean well into the middle of the table or shout, neither option conducive to pleasant communication. The noise was simply, bluntly, brutally unpleasant. But enough of the negative. Awful acoustics aside, dinner was absolutely delightful, de-lovely, delicious. We were invited to sip a bit and mingle a while for an hour before dinner was served. During that time we enjoyed a light, barely effervescent Sofia Sparkling Blanc de Blanc while deftly nibbling on dutifully delicate Honey Lavender Goat Cheese Tartlets topped with Paddlefish Caviar. The caviar added just a hint of flavor and texture to the mini slightly tart tartlets. First Course: Herb Crusted Sea Scallops, fork-tender but slightly over-blackened for my tastes. The accompanying Cauliflower Puree was über creamy and smooth, while the Toasted Pine Nuts, Currants, and Chile Oil provided lovely counterpoints in texture and taste. Noticeably absent was the "Shitake Bacon", but although I searched for it via my palate, it was nowhere to be found on this plate. The accompanying Sofia Chardonnay was (just as the Coppola vintners describe it) delicate, light, only slightly acidic (I personally didn't pick up on this) and a perfect accompaniment. Second Course: Seared Corvina on a bed of lovely, nutty, rust-colored Bhutanese Red Rice. The fish had a crisp sear but, depending on how thick your portion was, the fish came across as cooked too dry to slightly moist. (My dinner guests compared and contrasted their portions of this mild-flavored fish, the moist portions being the better.) Coconut Milk, citrusy-acidic Lime, pungent Ginger, and Cilantro combined to give this dish a nice finish. The paired Director's Cut Savignon Blanc was fine for this course. Third Course: Braised Beef Short Ribs and Morel Mushroom Sauce plus Apple and Fennel Salad proved the least favorite of the night. The beef was wonderfully tender and smoky, but didn't pack the punch the aroma suggested. The Morels - one of my all time favorite fungi - were slightly salty and could have been the main part of this course for my tastes. The crisp fennel and thinly sliced apple salad went well with a rather mysterious Lost Colony Red Blend. Again, this didn't have the body I would suggest for this heavy a course. Fourth Course: Vanilla Mascarpone Cream (yum-yum-yummy) and Almond Granola Tuile (slightly inconsistent because it was more mushy than crisp, perhaps since I was the last person served out of the 64) came with a "meh" Spiced Wine Poached Pear. Least favorite of the courses tonight, this was paired with a rare - usually served only at the winery - Late Harvest Semillion. If you get a chance to attend one of these dinners...grab it! It might not be perfect, but it made for a near perfect Valentine Dinner for us. (Just glad my taste buds aren't connected to my taste buds and thus not adversely affected by the cacophony.)

Beautiful Event Venue!…read more I have a chef crush on the owner Jason McConnell. He has three restaurants in addition to this event house and everything he cooks is fantastically delicious. Tonight the McConnell House hosted Food Truck Fight night. I'm a sucker for gourmet food coming out of a truck. There were several food trucks parked behind the house. The plan was to look at all the truck's menus and then choose carefully. It can be so difficult to choose just one so you may have to try food from several. Each truck has a number that you can text to vote for them. Just in case great food isn't enough for a great time there is also a dj playing party music. The only thing missing was our camping chairs. Since I discovered this event occurs every third Thursday of the month we will return with our chairs next month and plan to stay longer.

Southall Meadows ruined my wedding, made my bridal party cry right before the ceremony, and caused…read moreme to need therapy to recover from the trauma they caused me. PLEASE view the photos I've shared to see how horrible, penny-pinching this place is. Impressed by all the 5-star reviews? They make you sign a contract saying you'll only give them a 5-star. They claim to be "an open vendor venue." But in multiple areas, they penalize you hundreds for not using their preferred vendors. It was cheaper for me to pay their $800 penalty AND hire my own two bartenders to provide the same service than to use the ones Southall tries to force on you. Their preferred rental company was so expensive that I had to DIY my decor because I couldn't afford another $400 penalty. In the walkthrough, they say chairs are included. But "if you need them for the ceremony too," they charge an extra $350. They gave me a price sheet, then increased the DJ fee by $500 a week later. What could warrant a random 39% increase? If you or guests leave something at the venue by accident, they forbid you from coming back to get it. We left a whole table here and were so anxious they'd keep our $750 security deposit that we didn't even ask for it back. The contract says the Security Deposit will be refunded within 30 days of the event, but we didn't get it back until we emailed them multiple times past the 30 days. They make you pay for meals for THEIR staff. It's standard for other vendors, but I worked in the wedding industry for 3 years and never once saw the VENUE make the bride pay for multiple meals. I didn't rent their $500 optional tables. So they shoved all the furniture I didn't rent beside the barn and tried to hide them with the open barn door. This was so humiliating as ALL my guests walked past and had to see this carnage during my ceremony. Completely unacceptable. You can't arrive until 10 AM. In all the weddings I've worked, the bridal party could arrive at 7-8 AM. The late, strict start time made us so rushed and stressed. If you arrive before 10 AM, they charge you $150 for every 15 minutes you are early. The most catastrophic failure was that their DJ (DJ Pete) played the wrong song THREE times to start our ceremony. He panicked when he realized it was the wrong song and stopped it so my grandma and brother had to walk down in SILENCE, started the wrong song again so the parents had no choice but to walk down, then played the wrong song again for the bridal party. It was so chaotic that my sister was crying, the entire party was upset, and I had to physically get out of my own wedding lineup to show him what to play. I fought not to have a complete meltdown, but the anguish shows on my face in all the photos/videos that I spent $6k on. I blacked out from stress during the ceremony and don't remember the union with my sweet husband, which is by FAR the most hurtful part of all the ways Southall sabotaged my wedding. I can't look at our photos or talk about the wedding without crying, and I am in therapy to cope. I cried on my wedding night and honeymoon the next week. I asked Southall for DJ reimbursement and help with what I lost on photo/video- and they told me the DJ's unpreparedness was all my fault. Imagine hearing a song with your parents while they're in town for your wedding that brings you all to tears- so much that you want it in your wedding. So you send the change to the DJ the night prior & he agrees, but ultimately can't swap out one song. If an 8-year seasoned DJ can't accommodate ONE song change 13 hours before showtime, they have bigger problems. I've seen successful song changes 15 minutes before a ceremony. Yet- the venue used my one change to shift the blame off of them for butchering our wedding. Southall ruined the happiest day of my life and showed no remorse for what they did because brides are business transactions to them. Including an email from them for when they reply to this and try to paint me in a bad light and pin their failures on me instead of owning their mistakes.
