History

Old bones, new life. The story of Salt Ranch starts long before we got here.

Way Back

Our main house dates back to 1824—long before Nashville was bustling. It started as Maple Manor, a 10-room diner known for its garden parties, weddings, and community gatherings. Guest buildings came in the 1950s, a pool in '57, and by 1964 it became the Congress Inn.

Today

In the spirit of the classic motor court, we looked to the sun-kissed highways and Southern hospitality that's always defined this place. The historic main house has been restored, the 48 rooms updated for today's traveler, and we brought back the pool for guests and neighbors alike. It's a more local way to experience Nashville—off the beaten path, yet right where you want to be.
