A few weeks ago we tweeted about the Fontanel’s plans to add a resort to their property. The Davidson County planning commision has approved this construction, and construction is set to begin.
The Fontanel Mansion, which is currently the 2o13 Southern Living Idea House, sits on Whites Creek Pike in Northwest Nashville. The new resort would include ten new buildings with 140 rooms all built in the style of the Fontanel Mansion.
This rural resort would add even more to the growing property. Visitors can currently tour the mansion, tour Barbara Mandrell’s tour bus, take zip line tours as well as watch live concerts at the the many entertainment venues. There is also a distillery in the works and set to open later this year. 
The new resort would help bring more tourists to the city who are looking for a place to stay that is not in the heart of the city, but is easily accessible.
