We had a charmed day, tour and visit. Met Bob the rooster. And co-owner too who was exceptionally cordial and welcoming. The museum and grounds include significant Americana, Johny Cash, Elvis, and a painting featuring Bob Dylan. Clean. Well cared for and presented. Loved it. We arrived on a quiet fall day, out of season and couldn't promise the same experience for others. There is a gathering area to enjoy music performances in the summer months that wasn't open. There wasn't any food sold and I'm unaware if guests can bring any snacks to the events. read more

My husband and I were spending a few days in Memphis, and I just happened to pick up a pamphlet from the visitor's center about TN Music Pathways. 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. read more

Everything went well! Great place, great people, so much to find out about Johnny Cash that you never knew! They have costumes they wore, Elvis Presley memorabilia, Waylon Jennings memorabilia. Well worth it! Recommended for everyone. read more

Awesome place visited last fall with my son and my immediate family from California this place is worth a visit especially if you are a Cash fan also especially it's on point ! read more

I miss Mark Alam Cash! If you want to get to know, Johnny Cash and his family......you should meet Mark. He is genuine. He is talented, and he is responsible for making the success of storytellers museum. His friendliness, stories of the family, the way he holds the audience in the palm of his hand is worth the drive alone. bring him back. Please. read more

Opened now post covid for tours on Saturdays from 10-2! It's difficult to describe the flood of emotions that was today's experience at Storytellers Hideaway Farm and Museum but honored, I believe, sums it up best. What Storytellers have created at Johnny Cash's farm house is nothing short of jaw dropping and awe inspiring. The home is exactly as I would have expected from Johnny. A little country, and little class and a lot of warmth. There is an aura throughout the property that just feels good. From the bottom of my heart thank you for taking the time to save this history and share it so we can experience the legacy of the Man In Black like no other place provides. At the "Little Stage", which is the museum where the tour starts, is filled with Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, and one of the most unique Elvis exhibits I've seen with the deconstructed and reconstructed rooms from Elvis's manager Col. Tom Parkers house. Mark Alan Cash, Johnny nephew graced us with a few songs and stories of his uncle that were both heartfelt and joyful. It was a pleasure to meet him and he was more than gracious with his time, music, and passion for his families history in Bon Aqua. What Brian and Sally have created with help of Mark and Shelby Cash is a testament to their passion of preserving the history of one of the most culturally significant artists to ever grace this world. If you are passing through Nashville, I highly recommend leaving the tourist traps behind and visiting Bon Aqua Tennessee to the Storytellers Hideaway Farm to peek into the life and heart of Johnny Cash. read more

What a delight. Mark, Johnny's nephew gives you a real treat with a little concert and amazing stories. I want him to officiate my future wedding, he's that much fun. Not sure he will be up for it, I'm hoping he will at least sing for us. This place is full of memories and is not commercialized at all. Take in the sights and see the farmhouse. You can feel God here. Everyone is so down to earth and ready to tell you as many stories as you are prepared to hear. They don't quite make folk like Johnny any more. read more

THE BEST EXPERIENCE! My husband and I brought our 17 yr old daughter and 20 yr old son to the Storyteller's Farm (our son is a MASSIVE Johnny Cash fan). In short, we came away completely impressed by the property, the memorabilia, and the stories! It truly feels like you're stepping into grandma and grandpa's house - authentic, unpretentious, super cozy, but oozing with the spirit of Johnny, June, and their families! It actually feels like you're just waiting for them to show up from being out of town - it's nearly indescribable! The owners of the property were out of town, but their friends, Patsy and Rodney, welcomed us in their stead and were incredibly hospitable! I'm telling you, it felt like we were visiting old friends - they were so warm, welcoming, and kind! We were given a generous tour with ample time in the home, the garage, and on the property! My favorite experience was our time with Mark (Mark Alan Cash is Johnny's nephew). He spoiled us with family stories, personal reflections, and a private concert that not only honored his uncle, but also showcased his own music (my personal request)! Our family was incredibly touched by his transparency, sincere love of family, and approachable demeanor. I can't say enough good things about him, but I highly recommend buying his CD/t-shirt and paying for ticket if he's ever singin' in your town! I wish more people knew about this little slice of heaven Johnny called, "the center of my universe!" It is a gorgeous piece of property with magical landscapes that could mesmerize the most cynical person. No matter how you feel about country music or Johnny Cash, you'll walk away from this experience humbled and grateful - we sure did! read more

Such an amazing spot 45 mins outside of Nashville. My boyfriends brother and sister-in-law have lived in Bon Aqua for a few years now and never knew this place existed but after my boyfriend and I came back after spending most of our afternoon at the museum and Hide Away Farm they can't wait to check it out! What a beautiful way of capturing everything Johnny Cash loved; music, his family and country living. I especially loved the intimacy of the show we got the day we went, meeting Johnny's nephew Mark Alan Cash was a true pleasure! What a talented artist, him and Rachel Dawson are, they were wonderful to spend the afternoon with! The Hide Away Farm was just beautiful and it felt like hanging out at a friends house the way we were invited to just watch never before seen family videos and walk about the home and farm as long as we wanted. No wonder Johnny Cash loved that property so much, it's absolutely breath taking. I was staying in Bon Aqua but if I was in Nashville the 45 minute drive would be worth it. It was definitely the best $25 "tour" of our trip!! We can't wait to come back! read more

Amazing wonderful so personal!!! Great place for the whole family!!! Come one out for absolute great time!!! read more

A must see when visiting Tennessee!! We drove here from Memphis and were completely blown away! We had gone to the Johnny Cash museum after visiting this farm and the museum has nothing on this place. There is nothing like spending time in a place the man himself used as a place to get away from it all. We met with Johnny Cash's nephew who himself is a very talented artist. It was incredible to listen to his personal stories with Johnny. Everyone that runs this place really cares and are so welcoming and friendly. It felt like we were visiting family. Storytellers is so much more than just a museum. Do not miss this!! read more

One of a kind place, the genuine hideaway home and love for Johnny Cash is the place to visit if you love Johnny Cash. You know the saying, there's no place like home. You will walk into the world of Johnny, and decompress from commercial museum tour into the real life of Johnny. Our family took my dad there for his 80th birthday - grand kids and all. We loved the time and hospitality of Johnny's nephew and daughter and current owners the husband / wife who preserve the homestead and Storyteller's stage. A respite, a rest from Nashville commercialization, a story told with love, song and living by those who knew Johnny or studied the man and his life. You see his Bible, walk into his home, his leather jacket, his chair, his cars, you feel the man, his love second only to his family, song writing, singing and God. Truly you feel what Johnny said - the hideaway was the center of his universe on earth. We will always remember Story Tellers with fond sincere love as a moment in time when heaven touches earth through the heart of Johnny Cash. read more

This is a MUST MUST MUST see in Bon Aqua Tennessee!! (Close to Nashville) There are no words to describe this experience. So unique & one of a kind. Not only do you get to be where Johnny was & see his amazing farmhouse but you get to meet Mark Alan Cash and hear his amazing music and meet his awesome wife. You start in the museum & hear some great music then go to the farmhouse with Brian & Sally and see Johnny's "graceland" and see the one piece at a time Cadillac. The nicest folks you'll ever meet! We feel like we were hanging out with old friends! I Can not stress how INCREDIBLE this VIP tour was! A must for any Johnny cash/ Elvis or any music fan. Worth every penny!! So personal & priceless. Not commercial/ touristy or a stuffy museum. Everything is hands on. So peaceful & serene. We will definitely be going back! Couldn't ask for a better day. read more

This museum is the best we've ever been to! It's like Graceland, but hands-on. You're able to touch history and be a part of it. We met the entire staff and owners; they could not have been nicer or more accommodating! I'm a big Johnny Cash fan... this was an incredible experience. Such a great time! read more

The best part is there is live music everyday they are open the amazing music will blow you away!!

My hubby and I moved to the Burns area back in April, and we have visited the museum and farm not once, not twice, but three times now (well, four if you count that we went back after our first visit for the show that evening)! That's how much we love it! The first time, it was just the two of us...the second time, we took my mom (who was visiting from northern Washington state), and last weekend we took my sister and her husband (who were visiting from Seattle). Each visit turns out to be more memorable than the last, and we will definitely be back. It's been mentioned in other reviews, but these folks really do make you feel at home; we could sit and listen to Mark tell family stories all day long...and the best part of all is getting to hear Mark and Rachel sing (and possibly tell some corny jokes)! The museum and the farmhouse are full of not only amazing memorabilia, but also a tangible spirit of love, faith and family...this should definitely be a spot for folks visiting the Nashville area, but it's also a treasure for our local community. Get out to Bon Aqua...it'll make your heart smile! read more

Johnny Cash's nephew, Mark Cash, sang and played the guitar while sharing stories about his uncle, that was a real highlight of our trip here. Visiting the farm where Johnny and June lived was also a nice addition to the visit, giving us an idea of the place and space that Johnny Cash called the center of his universe. My husband said this tour was his favorite part of our trip to the Nashville area. Can't recommend this enough, especially to meet Mark and hear his wonderful songs and storytelling. read more

Got to see this museum on a trip with my family to Nashville. The museum contained all sorts of different artifacts from Johnny's life- paintings, lyrics, photographs, and instruments. The staff was super helpful in explaining how each piece fit into Johnny's life. You really see how much his music has made an impact on his fans and in the wider Nashville community as a whole. This is a must see for both Johnny Cash fans and country music lovers alike! read more

We were visiting Nashville from California and we heard about this place from a friend back home. This place was great! Very intimate setting on Johnny Cash's estate. His nephew, Mark Cash, runs the place and does hourly concerts and talks with the group about Johnny. He came up to my BF and I and got to know us a bit and told us great stories about growing up with Uncle Johnny. It's less of a museum and more of a large exhibit with Cash memorablilia...including the One Piece at a Time car. Up the road from "The Little Stage" is Johnny Cash's home and property. Compared to the large hoopla of Graceland, this place is much more personal and intimate in the best way. It's a hidden gem that is worth a visit for any music fan! read more

This museum is a gem for Johnny Cash fans. My favorite piece was the man in black's signature sunburst acoustic guitar. Check out Cash's farm down the street and get a very personal look into Johnny Cash's life. read more

The Hideaway Farm - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Lyles, Tennessee

This stop was the absolute best part of visiting Nashville. Only my friend and I were there this morning, so we got to hang out and chat with Mark, David, and Rachel, and they are so talented, funny, genuine, and sweet. They gave us a concert that was worth so much more than the price of admission. I don't care to visit Nashville again, but I can't wait to visit Storytellers again! Even if Nashville is your main focus, this place is well worth the time! read more

Visited this farm house today with my granddaughter. Spent probably 3 hours there. My favorite part of the visit was seeing Johnny Cashes Cadillac with the plush carpet. The owners were very kind and went out of their way to answer any questions that I had. I live in Murfreesboro and enjoyed the peaceful drive from here to the Bon Aqua countryside.. the whole farm house that Johnny Cash used for his respite is pretty. The museum store had some very nice children's books for my granddaughter. After visiting the house you drive for a mile to see the celebration house that Johnny Cash had some parties in and another one of his cars exist there. All in All it was time well spent.. did not see that person there that the previous review was talking about... read more

This museum beautifully recounts the life of Johnny Cash. I came here last summer with my family and got to experience and learn so much about the Cash music, farm, family, music, and life. You can even check out Mama Cash's house which is near by. It was one of the most unique and cute house I've ever been in! If you're out here or even by the city - I recommend the trip out. read more

I was disappointed, especially for the price of admission. Most of the time I was there I spent sitting in a chair at the 'museum' waiting for the music to start I wish they'd posted when the movies would be shown and when the music would be performed because I had limited time (two hours) and missed the music so I could go see the farmhouse. The house and farm were lovely, but I didn't have time to explore the outbuildings. I'd say this place is only for die hard Cash fans with plenty of time to spend. read more

Highly recommend this tour of the Storytellers museum and the Farm where Johnny Cash wrote his songs. My heart was moved to experience the musical talent of Johnny's nephew Mark Alan Cash as he played his own original songs and Cash's hits. My friend, Adam Lee was blessed to play his guitar on stage. The staff were very pleasant and we enjoyed the tour of Johnny's farm - sat in his chair and enjoyed the breathtaking vista out the window. As songwriters, we appreciated the inspiring landscape that breathes lyrics and inspiration for songwriting. Connecting with Johnny's spirit on his land is beyond the price of admission. Thank you to everyone who welcomed us and made this experience special. read more

A part of local history has been brought back to life! Come tour the museum, or hold a meeting or event. This is where Johnny Cash would play for the locals. The museum is an experience but the conference room facilities are outstanding and perfect for offsite retreats and meetings. Regular concerts not to be found anywhere else. Exceptional experience. read more
