Creekside Dinners
Dinner at the water
For one evening, the grounds are yours: the covered porch, the fire pit, the chairs at the creek's edge, and a table set beside Old Falls. A private chef cooks. The water does what it has always done.

Three steps to dinner at the Falls
Reserve the Falls
One party at a time. Your reservation holds the whole of the grounds for the evening: the porch, the fire, the water's edge.
Choose your chef
We introduce you to private chefs we trust from the Nashville and Franklin dining community. You plan the menu with your chef directly; they bring, cook, and clean.
Sit down at the water
Arrive to a set table, a lit fire, and the sound of the falls. Stay for the last course, and then a while past it.

- What does the venue fee include?
- Exclusive evening use of the waterfall grounds: the covered porch, the fire pit with firewood, Adirondack chairs at the creek, picnic tables, and the creek-side dining area.

- No — you contract a private chef directly, and we introduce you to chefs we trust from the Nashville and Franklin dining community. Typical chef pricing runs $85 to $180 per guest depending on the number of courses.
- Is there Wi-Fi and cell service?
- Yes. High-speed Wi-Fi and cell service reached the property this year, though older listings elsewhere on the web still say otherwise.
