Hickory Ridge Venue

Hickory Ridge Venue is more than just a venue; it's a breathtaking 80-acre country estate, a foothills farm, a mini lake resort, and the world headquarters of Hearthstone, one of the premier log and timber home manufacturers in the world. Our unique and flexible space excels at hosting events from country-elegant to black tie, and even blue jeans and boots or barefoot. There is no venue quite like it in the Southeast, and perhaps anywhere else for that matter.

Our property boasts a 4200 square foot log home, a 1200 square foot guest house, and an 1800 square foot recreation barn for indoor use. The venue is nestled in the heart of Tennessee's picturesque countryside, offering privacy, unlimited creativity, and plenty of places to explore and relax.

We are a down-to-earth family with a deep passion for the property, homes, and buildings we have been fortunate to develop over the years. We want other people to have the opportunity to experience our property, which is why we open it for a limited number of occasions per year. We hope one of them will be yours!

Accommodations

The Big House, built in 2000, is a gigantic log structure done in the style of a Dog Trot Tavern from the 1800's. It has been featured in multiple national, regional, and local magazines, showcasing its eclectic design and furnishings that blend with almost any style of wedding and event. The Big House is a 4-bedroom home that is opened for special events and weddings and is available in whole, or in part, depending on your needs. It comes with a professional style kitchen, large dining room, living room, patio, porches, fire pit, and more.

The Little House is our cozy guest house, perfect for smaller groups or those looking for a more intimate setting. Its charm and warmth make it an ideal choice for rehearsal dinners, smaller wedding parties, or family gatherings.

Dining & Dancing Barn

Our 1800 square foot recreation barn is the perfect indoor space for dining and dancing. It can seat up to 150 guests under the roof, providing ample space for your loved ones to enjoy your special day. The barn's rustic charm and modern amenities make it an ideal setting for any style of event.
