Cool Springs House

Cool Springs House is a restored 1830s log home in Brentwood, Tennessee, now operated by the City of Brentwood at Crockett Park. The house was built by the Carothers family, one of middle Tennessee's largest log homes at the time, and expanded in the 1870s with added halls and a Victorian front porch. A 1974 restoration by Karen and John Noel uncovered the original blue-poplar log construction beneath later coverings, work that earned the property a place on the National Register of Historic Sites in 1983. Today the venue hosts more than 100 events a year, offering exclusive use of the house and surrounding grounds for weddings, elopements, showers, rehearsal dinners, corporate events, and celebrations of life. The venue books only one event per day, so clients have private access to the full property without a competing party on site. Guest counts run up to 150 across the house and grounds, with the option to add a tent on the lawn for larger outdoor gatherings. Upstairs, the Private Event Loft offers a more intimate setting for up to 50 guests, centered on a historic 22-foot table, and can serve as a standalone space for private dinners and showers or as an add-on to a ceremony held on the main level. The property includes an on-site kitchen, two changing suites, and an open vendor policy that allows clients to bring in their own caterer or licensed vendors of choice.
