About this property

Lakeview house on a 180-acre Duck River ranch: fishing, horses, bonfires

  • A single-level 4-bedroom, 2-bath house overlooking the lake on Riverbend Ranch, a 180-acre working cattle ranch wrapped on three sides by the Duck River in Normandy, Tennessee. A good fit for families, fishing trips, wedding guests and small retreats.

    Inside, an open living room with a vaulted ceiling, leather sofas and a streaming TV runs into the dining area and a full kitchen with an island and bar stools.

    Bedrooms: the primary has a king bed and its own bathroom. Room 2 has a queen. Room 3 has a Twin XL over queen bunk plus a Twin XL. Room 4 has two Twin XLs. Rooms 2 to 4 share the second bathroom.

    Your stay includes use of the ranch, shared with other guests staying on the property: over a mile of Duck River frontage for fishing, fly fishing, kayaking and floating, a stocked lake and ponds (bass, bluegill and catfish, catch and release, no license needed; the river requires a Tennessee license), a basketball court, BB gun range and fitness center. Meet the horses and cattle over the fence. A riverside bonfire pit is available on request.

    Streaming TV over WiFi, no cable. Paved road to the ranch, gravel roads on the property.

    Just over an hour from Nashville and BNA. About 30 minutes to Jack Daniel`s in Lynchburg and Nearest Green in Shelbyville. Groceries are about 15 minutes away.

    Riverbend Ranch & Retreat is a nonprofit, and every booking funds no-cost retreats for pastors and ministry leaders. We live on the property and are easy to reach.
    No smoking. No pets. No gatherings or visitors beyond registered guests unless approved by management. Maximum 9 guests. Check-in is 3 pm and check-out is 11 am. Quiet hours are 10 pm to 7 am. Please drive 15 mph or less on the property. Please stay out of the animal enclosures and respect areas marked private. Anyone under 18 around any body of water must be supervised by an adult. No swimming in the lake or ponds.

Amazing Escape

My family (kids- 4,8,and 12) stayed at this property for a wedding (at another venue). This location would be ideal for a wedding, ceremony, or family get together. There are multiple cabins available surrounding a pond all in the middle of God's green earth. There is also river access on the property. It's isolated enough to feel like you're in the middle of nowhere, but still only 10 minutes from the nearest grocery store. Trails, fishing, basketball, pickleball, petting horses, and deer running right past us! A much needed relaxing yet exhilarating trip that my family and I will remember for ages!
