Grounded in history.
Now cultivating the future.
A Nashville tradition, reimagined.
The grounds of The Rawlings (now Rawlings Farm) have been a sanctuary on the banks of Marrowbone Creek since 1933. Whether for a swim in our legendary cool spring-fed pool, for a family-style catfish dinner or for a wedding or reunion, we’ve been a proud part part of the community for almost 95 years.
Located only 20 minutes from downtown Nashville, yet a world away from the friction and pace of modern life, Rawlings Farm is tucked into the quiet valley of Marrowbone Creek. We offer an immediate escape—where the neon fades into the night sky, and city noise is replaced by the rustle of leaves and sounds of nature.
We are currently closed for a thoughtful restoration—quietly evolving into a working herb farm, artisan woodlot, and future cabin retreat.
Deep in the woods.
The Vision
For almost ninety five years, families have gathered here to swim, share stories and slow down. While the old catfish kitchen and swimming pool are resting, our spirit of hospitality remains unchanged.
We are breathing new life into this historic property and trading the roar of the summer crowds for the quiet hum of a working landscape. The Rawlings is becoming Rawlings Farm—an intentional, agrarian escape designed to reconnect our family with the community, nature and our heritage.
The Farmstead
Cultivating organic culinary herbs—dill, cilantro, chives, parsley, and basil—bringing intentional, small-batch provisions straight from our soil to local tables.
Seasonal Firewood
Sustainably managed and seasoned wood production, cut and split to bring the crackle and warmth of our estate to your home.
The Cabins at Marrowbone
A footprint for the future. We are designing low-impact, modern tiny cabins and intentional outdoor gathering spaces in the fields and along the creek.
